Great sights from above! Lower cost than helicopter but still amazing sights!

5年前にクルーズでナパリコーストを見ましたが
主人のたっての希望でヘリコプターツアーに参加しました
乗る前の安全ビデオも日本語字幕で理解できました
不安な点が2つ、乗り物酔いと早口英語での解説、でしたが全く
問題無し
一応酔い止めは飲みましたが、とてもスムーズで揺れもなく快適、なにより
あまりに素晴らしい景色で酔う暇無いです
そしてさらに良かったのがパイロットの方が流暢な日本語でお話しして下さいました、日本人は私達だけて他は本土からの方々でしたが
通訳していだたき参加している皆んなフレンドリーな感じに包まれました。
お値段だけの価値はある素晴らしいツアーでした

It was a great time going out on the boat the lucky lady with Captain Edie. The crew was attentive and friendly and informative. The views are amazing. We were lucky enough to be able to see dolphins during our adventure. The time for snorkeling could have been a little longer. Overall it was a great experience and I highly recommended it for everyone to try while visiting Kauai.

We were looking for a shorter boat tour on Kauai because we can’t deal with being on a boat for too long, and I’m glad we found this one. It was a smooth and relaxing ride, lead by some friendly guys. They narrated the tour with information and trivia about the island. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset over the river and views of the mountains. I recommend this tour if you want a sunset boat tour that doesn’t take up all your time and avoids any risk of seasickness. Drinks included!

Kevin picked us up at our hotel on time and spent the day showing us the west and south sides of Kauai. He gave us lessons in pronouncing Hawaiian words, the geology of Kauai, and history of Kauai, while driving from viewpoint to viewpoint. He was sensitive to what we were interested in and what types of food we wanted for lunch. We were impressed that he understood the weather patterns, kept a constant watch on the clouds, and was able to get us to the Waimea Canyon and Na Pali coast viewpoints at times when we could see the views.
We had a most enjoyable day and would highly recommend tour guide Kevin and The Ultimate Kauai Private Island Tour - South and West tour.

This was a great experience. We had both new and seasoned snorkelers in our group and we all enjoyed ourselves. I thought the best part was riding on the boat and seeing the island from the water.

Counted on this boat tour for good snorkeling and did not get it at all even though waters were calm at the time of day we snorkeled. Co-captain agreed that captain could have picked a better spot for snorkeling. Decently long boat ride to get to Na Pali Coast. Boat tour was cut short by almost an hour (not sure why, but honestly it would have dragged on if it wasn't cut short). Other than those things, it was nice seeing the scenic coast and we saw turtles and dancing dolphins.

Crew was wonderful! Trip was amazing! Would love to come back and do it again
Need to know…wearing a spf shirt would have been a good idea! Having salty crackers for upset stomach would have helped.
The captain surprised us by taking the boat into a small area so that we could see the entirety of amazing cave. Very cool!

My wife and I had taken guided tours before mainly in the Carribean. On those tours, we stopped for various activities: touring a ruin, lunch on the beach, and a hike through a rainforest. Our guide, Kevin, did an excellent job trying to show us everything (and finding restrooms). The fault was not in the guide but in the attempted scope of the tour. It was six hours of driving and stopping for photos and then more driving. For instance, there were two waterfalls on the tour: One (twin falls) in the great distance and the other along the roadside (blink and you would miss it). It would be better if we could be taken to the trailhead and allowed to hike close to the falls. Or maybe with some preplanning, we could have swum at one of the beaches we stopped at. Although my wife and I are in our 60s and 70s, we are both very active. It was an introduction to the Island but we were exhausted at the end of the six hours.

The perfect activity to do on one of your getaway days, was so great to learn the history, and the challenges of the locals with survival on just daily living, on Kauai.
Was so good to be out on a very nice boat, but even better to be out with a captain and crew with great positive energy!! Took my 16 yo,14yo,7yo with and we all had a great time with great memories!, even had dolphins ride the wake of the boat for a bit!

The Napali Coast Tour was amazing. Our Captain was very professional. Treated everyone with the utmost respect. The Crew did an amazing job to be sure everyone on the Catamaran had everything they needed.
I highly recommend this tour. The Napali Coast is beautiful.

This was an amazing tour that was the highlight of our week in Kauai. It was well worth the cost for our group of six for an amazing afternoon cruising the Na Pali Coast for for over four hours. Included a great lunch, sights and snorkeling for those that wanted to.The crew was absolutely amazing and made the experience. Thank you

I highly recommend Makana Charters for your tour of the Na Pali coast! Capt. Rob, Leroy, and Bobby were the best crew! They were friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining! We enjoyed the stories and Hawaiian tradition around the various stops along the way. I was impressed that Bobby remembered every person's name on the boat and showed a genuine interest in each and every one. Leroy even took song requests! The water was a bit choppy the day we went, but that made it all the more fun! We enjoyed the amazing sights of the Na Pali coast, the cave and waterfall, the dolphins swimming right under the kids' feet off of the bow, the sea turtle waving hello, and the snorkeling. The sandwiches were delicious, too! I would definitely book with Makana Charters again! We had a blast!

Really fun day on the water, we got to see some hawaii state fish
Aloha Kara,
So you saw our Humuhumunukunukuapua`a, state fish. Pretty cool. Did you sea turtles?
Lately we also have been seeing once in a while little pods of Spinner dolphins.
We try to have fun and keep everyone safe on our Hanalei River and Bay paddle.
Thanks for sharing.
The Humuhumunukunukuapua`a is waiting your return.

This was an amazing experience in every way!
The boat ride felt like a roller coaster ride, the sightseeing was breathtaking, the crew was so friendly and kept us entertained with all the knowledge and stories about the island and lastly the snorkeling experience was so refreshing!! I am a non swimmer and so a big paranoid in very deep water, even with my floaties!! But leeroy took such good care of me when I was snorkeling, he even took me for a ride in the water with a tube, so that I could see more fishes and get a complete experience, it was amazing!!!
The whole crew is amazing, captain Rob, Kana with the storytelling skills and Ofcourse Leroy, they all make such a a amazing team. Will be back soon!

The views were stunning. The crew was great. The food was delicious. Someone got seasick on the trip and the crew (especially Arein?) handled it smoothly.
We couldn't be happier to hear it! Thank you so much for joining us and for sharing your phenomenal review! Mahalo and Aloha

Susan was fabulous. She was so knowledgeable about the island and great with our kids (ages 5 and 7). She told us history of the island and suggestions on things to do during our stay. When our kids were getting tired and a bit cranky, she went out and got them water and popsicles. This tour was the highlight of our trip!

Our helicopter tour was the highlight of the trip so far. What a way to see the whole island of Kauai. Our pilot Robert was great. We saw everything. I was amazed at how safe I felt. Would definitely recommend not skipping this!

Great crew. They did underestimate the difficulty of the kayaking in the ocean to the snorkeling beach. Very tough for some in my group. Otherwise great day. Food OK.
Aloha Larry,
We try to be candid in all our tours about the intrinsic effort and matching folks to the right tour.
Yesterday, clients on the same tour, felt while they did not need a guide to get to the snorkeling beach off Hideaways, that having the guide(s) made for a richer experience.
That said your review helps others choose the correct tour.
In spite the toughness…thanks for giving us 4 stars.
A hui hou,
Micco/Head Guide
