An unforgettable afternoon on the Nā Pali Coast
We had an absolutely wonderful experience! The entire trip was beautiful from beginning to end. The crew was friendly, professional, and made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the cruise. The scenery along the Nā Pali Coast was breathtaking, and being able to enjoy it from the catamaran made it even more special. It was a relaxing, fun, and unforgettable afternoon with our family. One of the highlights of our trip to Kauai. We would absolutely recommend this experience!

Highly recommend - A highlight of our trip!
The Makana Charter Company is a class act - highly recommend. We took this half-day boat tour + snorkelling with our group of six, including four people ages 16 to 24. We felt welcomed and very taken care of by the friendly and knowledgeable captain and crew. It was a splurge cost-wise for us, but totally worth it. A highlight of our exceptional first visit to Kauai!

An Amazing Local Kauaʻi Experience!

An Amazing Local Kauaʻi Experience!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Shasta and this family owned tour company. This was truly a top notch experience from beginning to end.Shasta is a local, and that made our tour feel so much more special. She shared beautiful places around Kauaʻi that felt like the kinds of places only locals would know. We weren’t simply sightseeing. We felt like we were getting to experience the island through someone who genuinely loves it and knows it so well.One of our stops was the beautiful Wailua Falls, and if you have the opportunity while you’re there, I hope you also get to meet Makepa B, the Lauhala Man. He was such a special person to meet and talk with and added another wonderful memory to our day. I thoroughly recommend taking the time to visit with him. You can also purchase a beautiful handmade keepsake to bring home, which makes the experience even more special.Shasta also took us to a wonderful local spot where we enjoyed fresh sugar cane and smoothies made with incredibly fresh ingredients. These little local experiences were some of my favorite parts of the day because they made the tour feel so authentic. It felt like we were getting a glimpse of the real Kauaʻi rather than just visiting the usual tourist stops.Because this was a small group island waterfall tour, we received such wonderful personal attention. Shasta was lovely, knowledgeable, fun, and incredibly helpful. We all had such a great time with her.What impressed me even more was how much she genuinely cared about us. I needed to get to the airport on time after the tour, and Shasta went out of her way to make sure I got there, personally dropping me off. That kind of kindness and customer service is something you don’t forget.Between the waterfalls, the beautiful scenery, the local experiences, and Shasta’s personal attention, this was such a special way to experience Kauaʻi. I would 100% recommend this family owned company and Shasta to anyone visiting the island.We had so much fun, made some wonderful memories, and I would book this tour again without hesitation! 🌺🌴

It's a great tour to see the inland. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and nice, so was the driver. Lots of getting off and on the bus to see the beauty of the area. Showed clips of movies and tv shows, which helped put the picture with the area. I would do it again.

A Magical Way To Spend Your Morning or Day
Kayaking up the Wailua River was a magical experience. The river is so serene, and filled with beautiful hibiscus flowers. It’s like a scene from a dream. The hike to the waterfall is a bit intense (mud, slippery rocks, fallen trees) but with the right footwear (reef shoes are ideal) and some patience it is a very rewarding hike. The waterfall is beautiful! We jumped in and swam under the fall, very refreshing. The lunch was delicious, especially after all the activities. The sandwiches and fresh pineapple really hit the spot. Our guide, Thomas, was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, sharing with us secrets of the forest. I would suggest going with the earlier morning tours, as it begins to get very hot in the afternoon. An overall beautiful time, highly recommend!

The crew (Jake, Lauren, Chad) were so nice and super fun to be on the boat with. They made the cruise so fun and checked on us throughout the entire trip and made sure we got the best pictures, had drinks and served us a great dinner. We've been on several cruises between all the islands and I think this was by far the best one. The captain, Evan was super cool too and knew so much about the Hawaiian culture and history. His music was good too and my family could not have had a better time! I would recommend this excursion to anyone coming to Kauai!

Best crew ever

Kauai: Deluxe Na Pali Sunset Snorkel Cruise aboard Lucky Lady
heathere49, Aug 2026
Best crew ever
I was beyond impressed with how attentive, kind, and compassionate the crew was on the lucky lady sunset snorkel tour. I chose the bigger catamaran tour rather than the smaller boats due to my tendency towards sea sickness. I took plenty of Dramamine and used the wrist bands which did the trick for me. Unfortunately many people were very ill due to the winds creating high waves, which I might note are supposedly worse in winter. The crew was on top of their needs, ready with buckets, ginger ale and lots of compassion. They made sure all passengers had the food and drinks they needed, helped with carrying food from the delicious dinner taco bar and picked up all the trash so it didn't blow off the boat. They never stopped moving!! The cruise itself was amazing with the breathtaking views. The captain stopped at the sea caves and dipped the front of the boat in the waterfalls which my daughter loved. The captain made sure to tell us interesting and fun comments about the area and towns as we passed them. The snorkeling was ok, we have snorkeled in areas where we have seen more fish. This was by far the best views, food and crew we have ever had around the world in a snorkel boat trip. Thank you.
