Can't decide - help Nativeway or Cruise tour

[Kermit426]

So normally I would try to go with an independent here. However there are 5 ships in port on our day (7am-4pm) and the only time that Nativeway had available was 10-2:15. I am a bit worried about getting back in time. Also, have a child with us and have heard that they don't have children's snorkels, etc. Anyone recently gone with Nativeway for a tour, and if so what was your experience? On time? Any issues?

Ship tour will cost me $10 more per person, but is 7:30-noon, so no worries getting back in time to shop and tender. Is the extra money worth the peace of mind? I know the ship tours can be more crowded, so that could be a concern.

Thanks for your feedback.

Anyone take either Nativeway or Carnival's stingray/turtle farm tour lately?

Nativeway is amazing and makes an amazing experience. They know the times the ships are in port and they make sure you get back in plenty of time. ;)

I think you will be fine with Nativeway. They will have far fewer people than a ship excursion.

 

If it makes you feel more comfortable, then stick with the ship excursion. Have a great day, no matter what you decide.

USED Nativeway 2 weeks ago...no problems with timing Have used them multiple times since 2005... You will get a much more personalized experience with nativeway..

 

Email sharon if they have kids snorkels.. if not you might want to pick up an expensive set from target or sams club

I have my complete review done with Nativeway if you are interested in viewing it HERE. Just make sure you look for the right post number. It starts around 318.

 

I have TONS of pictures in the review from that day.
