tipping for Nativeway!

[jstducky]

ok i don't know if this question is taboo or not... its the first time that i've ever asked or participated in a tipping question...

for those of you have taken Nativeway in Grand Cayman, usually how much of a tip is appropriate to leave?

usually i give a tour guide a couple of bucks at the end of an excursion as i had read previously that that is the norm.

however, this is the first private excursion i have ever taken. all my other excursions have been through the ship....

any advice would be most appreciated. i just want to make sure i am tipping appropriately.

It really depends on the number of people in your party. We used nativeway last year on our VOS cruise and tipped $5 per person.

is that $5 per person per guide... or $5 total per guide. as i understand there are 2 guides per tour right? so are you saying you tipped a total of $10 or $40?

 

thanks!

My husband and I used them last year on Navigator, and you will not be disappointed! They do a great job. We tipped them a total of $10.00 for the both of us ($5.00 per person) Hava a great time!

We also tipped $10.00 for both my husband and I. Nativeway was wonderfule by the way. You won't be disappointed! We were so happy we went through them. Have a great time, and remember to bring an underwater camera you'll get some great shots!

:p With your help I managed to get onto these websites, both of which are beautiful. I think we will go with Nativeway's "combination package" of an Island Tour and Stingray Sandbar (including a trip to Hell!) I've learned a lot since I found these boards just a month ago.

We went on a Nativeways tour and we tipped each person (there were 2 on the boat that helped us) 5.00 because they did an awesome job! It all depends upon how they treat you and what you feel they deserve.

We had an excellent experience with nativeway so we tipped $5 per person.
