10/10 Must Do Activity
Absolutely highlight of our trip. My son had so much fun. The crew was friendly, experienced and respectful. The entire process of boarding and disembarking was something I wish was detailed prior to booking.
It was okay
It was okay. Boat ride was nice. Crew could have been more engaging. When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, they weren't helpful with mask fittings or assistance or any kind. Sunset was rhe highlight.
Magical day
Amazing day on the Marlin! We saw so many fish while snorkeling and even an eagle ray! Magical experience for sure.
Excellent!
Rough waters due to recent storm in the area. Carlos and his crew worked hard getting us out there and back! Safety conscious, kind & tolerant of the annoying ones (there is always one or two right😂), served food and many drinks, fixed bathroom problems, were clear in their instructions and worked hard to give everyone a great experience! Water too rough for snorkeling but everyone jumped off the boat for a swim! It was beautiful. We feel this was the best thing we did over our whole trip! It was a GREAT day!
No compassion or basic customer care when illness strikes
We booked the Catalina Islands snorkelling tour for two people, but my friend became seriously unwell overnight with vomiting and fever. Before our 6:40am pick-up, I spoke to Native’s Way by phone through our hotel concierge, explained exactly what had happened and made sure the driver did not come to collect us. We did not ask for a refund. We only asked whether our booking could be moved to another available day, as we were still in Tamarindo and still wanted to do the tour. What is particularly frustrating is that during that phone call, nobody even suggested that I could still go alone rather than lose both places. I was simply told to email management about moving the booking. Only afterwards did they refuse every possible accommodation and tell us we would need to pay again in full. No reschedule, no credit, no discount, no gesture of goodwill whatsoever. Their communication was also inconsistent. They first referred to a 48-hour cancellation policy, then later corrected themselves and said it was actually 72 hours. I understand that policies exist, but this was sudden illness, not a change of mind. We contacted them before pick-up and were still willing to take the tour on another day. The complete lack of compassion, flexibility or even basic practical help was honestly shocking. We never got to experience the tour itself, but based on the way we were treated, I would never book with Native’s Way again. Apparently, if you become ill on holiday, you simply lose your money and are expected to pay again.
