Amazing Kayak Tour and Hike to Waterfall!
What an amazing experience this was! The tour was extremely organized and an absolute blast. The kayaks were in great shape and they gave us all the equipment we needed to do the tour. The hike was not too challenging and it was nice that it had a boardwalk to avoid some of the tough terrain. What made the tour above and beyond was our guide, Cayman. He was awesome. He made us all feel safe and perfectly navigated us through the tour. His enthusiasm and positivity shined throughout and took the experience to the next level.

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!

Great local tour guides. Worth the money to include this in your vacation.
We have gone on this tour twice - once in 2025 and once in 2026. Both times with had very knowledgeable local guides. They were able to give lots of history and personal insights to Kauai. Both were great drivers and went out of their way to make the day enjoyable. Both years we had to switch the day of our tour due to rescheduling of other activities. The company was very easy to work with to make the changes. Very worth the money to have this experience on Kauai.
