Kikiaola Small Boat Harbor, Waimea, Kauai, HI
The crew here clearly knows how to make a Napali Coast tour memorable. Captains like Mike, Shawn, and Ron consistently earn praise for their deep knowledge of Hawaiian history and culture, with many reviewers specifically noting how locals bring authentic island stories to life against those stunning coastal views. The guides strike a nice balance between being informative and entertaining, keeping guests laughing while pointing out landmarks and wildlife. Safety comes up repeatedly as a top priority, which families especially appreciate. Dolphin sightings are common, and even when conditions don't allow for snorkeling, the crew adapts with deep ocean swims and still delivers an excellent experience. The boats are well-maintained, and staff handle seasick passengers with care (though taking motion sickness medication is strongly recommended). One reviewer was disappointed by a last-minute cancellation due to low booking numbers, but nearly everyone else raves about this being a highlight of their Kauai trip. The personal touch these pros bring really sets the experience apart.
🌺 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Incredible Nā Pali Coast Experience! Booking with Makana Charters was super easy, and communication before the trip was excellent. Check-in was quick and hassle-free, setting the tone for an amazing day ahead. Our captain and crew were fantastic — friendly, fun, and very knowledgeable. They made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable while keeping the mood light and enjoyable throughout the tour. The Nā Pali Coast was absolutely breathtaking. We saw dolphins, explored sea caves, and enjoyed a great snorkeling stop — definitely one of the highlights! Drinks were available throughout the trip, and lunch was provided, which made everything even better. Every moment was memorable, and I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kauaʻi. It’s truly a must-do experience!
