Go with Native Choice! Great tour!! - The Native Choice has it dialed in; we first used them 5 years ago and came back for more. Well run organization with great vans, great food, and great people. Support the locals, go Native Choice.

Miguel our driver was... - Miguel our driver was very informative. We did not have a personal tour guide, Eliza who was sent to go with another group, just Miguel who drove us to the resort and handed us over to the manager and kayak guide. Food was good and plenty, had too much pina colada ( not a very wise choice, LOL). Place was beautiful and very exclusive. We were the second group that arrived and enjoyed the quiet until after lunch when the other tour group arrived. Only downside was the bathroom was too far away from the activity. Great excursion.

Great day! - What a fun day! Our driver Roger and guide Eric made the day! It was windy so kayaking was tough and we couldn't go as far as we thought but it was so beautiful! The fajita lunch was delicious! The area was so beautiful. We had a great time!

Secret escape!! 😍 - This was such a great last excursion for us on our Sky Princess cruise! We had a fabulous week exploring each of our ports but for us this was the very best and highlight of our entire week! Our guide Selena was fantastic. We had our lagoon resort destination to ourselves in the morning. We truly felt like we had our private and secret escape. Plenty of margaritas, hibiscus tea, and no end to the tacos. My favorite was the variety of salsas (pineapple too, yum!) offered! Everything was made fresh on site!! Selena escorted us on a kayak cruise on the lagoon with a dip in the beautiful water and we also slipped into the "quicksand" to enjoy the exfoliating benefits. Selena was very warm and knowledgeable as she shared the history and culture of the area and the Mayans. Highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Costa Maya and especially Selena as your tour guide!

Beautiful kayak tour - We had a fabulous time. We chose our excursion from trip advisor rather than from the ship as it used a local company Native Choice. Our guides were excellent and full of knowledge. Elliot and his staff were amazing. The resort that they took us to to start our kayaking journey was an absolute beautiful oasis in the middle of nowhere. It was not overly strenuous, we kayaked at an easy pace and Elliot explained many features along the way. On our return the lunch that was served was so delicious. Everything was made fresh from the fajitas, to the toppings, all made fresh that morning. The cook and the bartender were excellent. I would highly recommend this company and this tour.

Resort side - Melissa was a wonderful guide. She informed us of the town, and the lagoon. She even shared her personal experiences. Miguel was an excellent driver . We had a small group, but that made it more intimate. The tacos were delish!

Fun day - Great resort and kayak experiences. Our guide, Alan, was very nice and fun. However, you should tell people in advance about the 1 1/2 ride on very bumpy roads.

Unexpectedly cool adventure! - Eddy was our guide. He did an incredible job. Our 2-man kayak was JUNK!! We sank in the lagoon and Eddy had to help us flip and drain the kayak in the middle. The staff was also wonderful! We did not expect an area as beautiful as the village. We were served lunch, drinks by a very attentive staff. Even our bus driver helped bus tables. Other than the worn-out kayaks, the excursion was INCREDIBLE! Get some new kayaks and I will give it a 5-star rating. Your staff is amazing!!

Not the best - Email stated that departure was 1hr after ships arrival however we had to wait on several who were late. Driver and tour guide were both very friendly. Once we arrived at location, it was beautiful. We picked our seats under a shelter and waited on the kayaking to begin. When the kayaking started we were the last 4 people to get equipment and when it came to the last 2 of us, there was no more good equipment to use. So I was placed on a paddle board and my husband was put in a small kayak that takes on water. Before we could even go 100 yards, his kayak was sinking and not easy to paddle. We were left behind from the group who was already along their way. We decided to turn around and wait for them to come back. We were not offered to go back out or a refund. Once they arrived back MANY other people had arrived to the location and it was packed. Was a huge let down of an experience.

Not good value - The overall experience is a waste. The kayak instructor kept on going at a fast pace, and did not wait for (we are not experts in kayaking) and left us in the middle of the lake. We had to return back ourselves.
