Wonderful excursion of Na Pail coast line. - Wow! What a great crew we had. Very helpful and funny. The boat was so awesome and roomy. Snorkeling equipment was wonderful and the water temperature was 78.

The most incredible NaPali boat tour! - We had the most amazing time cruising NaPali coast with an awesome crew and the smoothest ride! First class service all the way. We came across hundreds of dolphins swimming right up to the boat, cruised under waterfalls and entered caves, snacked on yummy sandwiches and refreshments, snorkeled in sparkling blue water. We learned so much about the island’s history too. It’s a 10/10 for Makana Charters! Don’t look any further for the best experience with this fabulous and friendly crew! Mahalo 🩵

Highly recommend! - We had the most fabulous afternoon with this boat tour. The crew was attentive, and genuinely interested in giving us the best experience. I loved the stories they shared, including the captain’s ancestry on the island dating back to the 1600s. Snorkeling was fun and the views/scenery throughout the trip was spectacular. We couldn’t have seen all this beauty without being here. My husband and I highly recommend this boat trip!

Amazing view, mesmerizing stories, and refreshing water dip! - Very friendly tour with great music on the boat, wonderful views and amazing stories by the captain of the boat! She moves the boat close to one of those drizzling waterfalls. We also got wet. That was amazing. Just enough to dry off. Lunch was simple and jump into the water to see fishes was refreshing. Would definitely recommend for amazing views pictures of Na Pali coast..
