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

We arrived around 8:20 since we rented a car. We checked in right away at the spot with the red umbrella. It went smoothly without any issues.
I understand some English, but I felt reassured as a Japanese female guide explained everything carefully before we boarded the boat.
All the staff were very kind, and we had a great time. We played with the SUP and the boat the whole time. The person in charge of SUP was local but could speak quite a bit of Japanese, which was very helpful. (It was amusing Japanese.)
On the boat, there was water and orange juice available. While the website and reviews mentioned snacks like chips, we only had donuts during our visit. Unfortunately, they ran out by the time we returned, which was disappointing. I hope they consider having more variety and quantity of snacks. It seems inconsistent from day to day.
It's advisable to bring marine shoes, towels, hats, and rash guards since there's no shade in the water. There was only one changing area, so there was quite a line. If you dislike waiting, it's better to come back a bit earlier.
On the way back, coincidentally, a couple of musicians participating in the tour sang for us. The local staff seemed excited, so they must be famous musicians. I wonder who they are? Their child also sang along, and it was incredibly cute. The atmosphere on the boat became very warm and pleasant.
Most of the participants were Japanese, but I didn't confirm this properly, and it seemed like they didn't tip much, which made me feel a bit sorry for the staff.
Overall, I was very satisfied. The children were happy too. Thank you very much.
レンタカーでしたので、8:20頃到着。
着いてすぐに赤いパラソルのとこでチェックイン。問題なくスムーズにできました。
英語はある程度わかりますが、船に乗る前に女性の日本人ガイドが丁寧に説明してくれましたので安心しました。
スタッフはみんな優しい方ばかりで楽しかったです。
我々はずっとSUPとボートで遊んでました。
SUP担当の方は、現地の方ですが日本語をかなり話すことができサポートもあり大変良かったです。(おもしろ日本語です)
船内は水、オレンジジュースがありました。軽食はホームページや口コミではチップス等あるようでしたが、我々のときはドーナツのみ。数に限りがあったので帰りには無くなっていたのが残念です。軽食の数や種類をもう少し考えてほしいかな。日によって違うのはどうかと。。
持って行った方が良いのは、マリンシューズ、タオル、帽子とラッシュガード。海の中なので日よけがないので。
着替えるところが1か所のみなので、だいぶ並んでました。待つのが嫌な人は、少し早めにあがることですね。
帰りに、たまたま?ツアーに参加していたミュージシャン夫婦が歌ってくれました。現地スタッフは興奮していたので有名なミュージシャンのようです。誰なんでしょう?夫婦の子供も一緒に歌っていて、すごく可愛かったです。船内がとても和みました。
参加者の多くが日本人でしたが、ちゃんとは確認してませんが、あまりチップを払ってなかったようだったので、スタッフさんに少し申し訳ない気持ちになりました。
全体的にはすごく満足。子供たちも喜んでました。ありがとうございました。

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!

The water level was higher than I expected, and I couldn't find any sandy beaches, but I was able to enjoy snorkeling as a result.
Also, the rental stand-up paddleboards (SUP) were very popular, so if you don't go early, you'll have to wait a long time.
思ってたより水位が高く、砂浜には出会えませんでしたがその分シュノーケリングが堪能できました。
また、レンタルできるSUPはとても人気だったため、早く行かないと長い時間待つことになります。
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed snorkeling. Regarding the water levels, we have a Tide chart linked on our website, so please check it out next time you participate. Thank you for joining the tour.

The lunch was delicious, and the staff was friendly. However, whether the sandbar appears depends on the tide, so it's best to check the tide schedule in advance. Since this can be somewhat predicted, I feel that the tour company should provide some guidance on this. If they don't, it's reasonable to think that the chances of the sandbar appearing are low.
ランチは美味しく、スタッフもフレンドリーです。ただ、サンドバーが現れるかどうかは潮位次第なので、あらかじめ満ち引きを確認された方が良いです。ある程度は予想できる事なのでツアー会社が目安を伝えるべきな気もしますが、それをしないと言うことは、サンドバーが現れるかタイミングは少ないと考えた方が良いでしょう。

Loved Molokini, but the boat experience was just okay. The crew seemed short/curt and not very welcoming. There was one crew member that was absolutely wonderful, friendly, and inviting. It also felt like a heavy sales pitch once you boarded. Everything, from additional gear (wet suit), scuba, photos, all costs extra and it's not cheap. Food was just okay. Also, know that when you snorkel, they limit you to how far from the boat you can go. All that said, the water and natural beauty was incredible. I recommend it for that reason alone.
Thank you for choosing the Four Winds. Safety is always our top priority, so we do let our guests know what the safe parameters are, as far as the distance you can swim away from the boat. This is only to protect our guests and to make sure everyone is safe.

I was worried about whether I would be able to see manta rays based on the reviews, but I did! They came surprisingly close, almost within reach of my hands and feet, so I had to be careful not to touch them at all. Since ocean accidents are scary, I chose a tour that provides explanations in Japanese. Fortunately, there wasn't much price difference for the manta tour, so I went with this one.
I had read in reviews that the boat ride from the port to the manta point was long, and that some people experienced seasickness or found the rocking of the boat difficult. However, since I have never had severe seasickness in the past, I thought that for those who enjoy being out in the sea breeze and taking in the ocean views (especially during sunset, which I think is a precious experience), a longer boat ride could actually be a lucky thing.
The Japanese tour guide was wonderfully attentive and a lovely person, and I really liked them as a person. The cocoa we had on the boat was also delicious.
What I wish I had brought were two bath towels—one for drying off and one to cover my legs—because while the water was a comfortable temperature in a wetsuit during the hot July weather, it was cold once we got back on the boat. I also recommend bringing a warm jacket or something to wrap around your neck and shoulders, as well as warmer clothes and underwear to change into after swimming, along with socks. It would be best to have a thermos to keep hot tea or something to drink on the way back.
Manta rays are adorable, and I recommend this tour for anyone who loves soothing sea creatures like dolphins. I would like to join this tour again next time.
口コミからマンタ見れるのか不安でしたが見れました。
しかも予想外に手や足で触れてしまいそうなくらい近くまで来てくれるので、こちらが一切触れないように体を気をつけないといけません。
海の事故はこわいので、日本語で説明してくださるツアーを選びました。幸いにマンタツアーで価格差はあまりなかったので、こちらにしました。
口コミでは港からマンタのいるポイントまでの乗船時間が長い、船酔いしたり揺れるのが辛い、というのも事前に見ていましたが、過去に酷い船酔いをしたことがなく、海風に当たりながら海の景色(ちょうどサンセットが観れる時間だと貴重な体験だと思います。あとイルカが私達の時は船と一緒に泳いでくれました。)を観るのが好きな人にはストレス発散効果もあり、船に乗る時間が長い方がラッキーではないか、と思いました。
添乗員の日本人の方は、気配りも素晴らしく素敵な人で、私は人として好きな方でしたし、船上でいただいたココアも美味しかったです。
持っていけばよかったと思うのは、7月の暑い時期ですが、海の中はウェットスーツを着てちょうどいい温度ですが、船に上がると寒かったので、バスタオルは拭く用と足に掛ける用の2枚、首や肩には暖かい上着や首に巻けるもの、ホテルに帰るまでに水着から着替える用の普段の服より温かい服装と下着、靴下です。
帰りにホットのお茶などを飲めるように保温水筒に入れておくとベストです。
マンタは可愛らしくて、イルカなどの海の癒し系の生き物が好きな方におすすめです。
次回参加する場合もこちらのツアーにしたいです。

There was absolutely no white sandy beach due to high tide. As for snorkeling, the water wasn't particularly clear, and while the staff fed the fish to attract them, there were only a few dark-colored ones; it wasn't an experience that would leave you in awe with beautiful fish.
There are many jagged corals, so going barefoot is dangerous. It really hurts if you bump into them, so I recommend wearing marine shoes.
It was my first time on a banana tube, and it was a lot of fun. I almost fell off several times but managed to hold on tightly and stay safe. I didn't try the banana boat, but I think the bumper tube is more thrilling and allows you to scream your heart out.
Lastly, even though it was midsummer, it was incredibly cold. They only have cold drinks available. Make sure to bring a jacket and a beach towel. Even wearing a hoodie, it was cold. By the way, they sell long-sleeved hoodies at ABC as well. In Hawaii, it’s freezing inside buildings, on buses, and on boats.
満潮なのか白い砂浜全くありませんでした。それよりも、シュノーケルですが海は特に透明でもなく、魚もスタッフがエサをあげて寄ってこさせてはいますが、黒っぽいのが少しいるだけで、きれいな魚がたくさんいて感動するようなことはありませんでした。
ゴツゴツのサンゴがたくさんあるので素足は危ないです。当たると本当に痛いですのでマリンシューズを履くことをおすすめします。
バンパーチューブは初めてだったのでとても楽しかった。何度も落ちそうになったけど必死にしがみついてなんとか無事でした。バナナボートはやりませんでしたが、バンパーチューブのほうが思いっきり叫べるしスリリングで楽しいと思います。
最後に、真夏でしたがまじで死ぬほど寒いです。飲み物は冷たいものしかありません。必ず上着、ビーチタオルを持っていってください。パーカー着ても寒い。ちなみにABCでも長袖のパーカーなど売っています。ハワイは建物内もバスも船の上も死ぬほど寒いです。

We took a boat from the port, which we reached by bus in about an hour from Ala Moana. The live music was lovely, and the lunch was quite tasty.
On that day, the wind was strong and the water was cold, so I returned to the boat after wading in up to my waist. Since my condition and the water temperature didn't match well, I gave it four stars.
My two college-aged daughters enjoyed kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and swimming for a full two and a half hours. Most of the other guests were having fun in the sea.

It was reassuring to have the Japanese guide Tamae with us. The day before, there were only two manta rays, but on our day, we counted six at the same time. You don't usually see this many even while diving. Tamae mentioned that it's rare to see so many manta rays. Our 10-year-old child was also able to participate comfortably. After disembarking, Tamae shared videos of our tour above and below the water via AirDrop. It was fantastic.
日本人ガイドtamaeさんが一緒で安心でした。前の日2枚だったマンタが我々の日は自分達で数えられたところでは同時に6枚。ダイビングでもこんなには見れません。前の日は2枚だったマンタ。tamaeさんもこんなにマンタ多い事は先ず無いとお話しされてました。10才の子供も安心して参加させて頂きました。下船後、tamaeさんが我々が参加していたツアーでの水上と水中の動画をエアードロップで供与してくれました。最高でした。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in Manta University. I'm very glad to hear that you enjoyed it. We sincerely look forward to your next participation with your children. Mahalo!

I participated on August 9, when there was an impact from the typhoon. Since I was staying in Waikoloa and there were strong winds with whitecaps, I thought this might be canceled as I headed to the port. However, the area around Keauhou Bay was very calm and sunny ☀️, and I was moved by the wonderful scenery and the blue of the ocean. It was a tour that even a couple like us, who are nearing retirement age, could enjoy very much. The staff were cheerful and kind, and we had a fun day. It was fascinating how the weather varied so much in different places on the Big Island.
参加したのは、台風の影響がある8月9日でした。ワイコロアに宿泊していたので強風で白波も立っていたので、これは中止かな?と思いながら港に向かいました。ところが、ケアウホウ湾の方はとても穏やかで快晴☀️、素晴らしい景色と海の青さに感動的しました。私たちのような還暦近くの夫婦でもとても楽しめるツアーでした。スタッフの皆さんが明るく親切で1日楽しかったですハワイ島は、場所によってずいぶんとお天気が違うので不思議でした。

- Just getting on the helicopter is exciting.
- If you're in the front seat, the excitement during takeoff is even greater.
- The explanation of the mountains by the Japanese pilot Toshi (also known as Sushi) is easy to understand.
He also responds well to active questions.
- I’m glad I purchased the in-flight and flight path recording. The change in passengers' expressions during takeoff was a nice memory.
- I wish I had added the landing option near the waterfall.
・ヘリコプターに乗機するだけでも興奮する.
・前席であれば、離陸時の興奮はより高まる.
・日本人パイロットのToshi(別名sushi)の山の説明もわかりやすい.
積極的質問にも対応してくれる.
・乗機中の機内&航路記録は購入して良かった.離陸時の乗客の表情の変化も記念になりました.
・滝付近に着陸オプションをつければ良かったです.

この度はツアーへのご参加、体験をシェア頂きありがとうございました。午後のツアーは軽食やチップスをお付けしておりますが朝のツアーはドーナツのみとなっています。朝のツアーも何かもう少しプラスするなど検討したほうが良いかもですね、、ご意見参考にさせて頂きます。全体的にご満足、楽しんでいただけたとの事でうれしく思っております。ありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同
