jstducky Posted July 7, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 7, 2004 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.

banderboo Posted July 7, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 7, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlx2 Posted July 8, 2004 #5 Share Posted July 8, 2004 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlx2 Posted August 6, 2004 #8 Share Posted August 6, 2004 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marialivia Posted August 7, 2004 #9 Share Posted August 7, 2004 :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.

hkolln Posted August 7, 2004 #10 Share Posted August 7, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
