Fun and more of a $45 value
Michelle_L

Renaldo "Christian" was very sweet. Pretty chill guy. Found some starfish for us to hold while snorkeling. He was encouraging with the paddleboarding. Fun day! would recommend bringing shoes for the walk on the island and wearing a shirt for snorkeling (you will get sunburnt). 4 stars as I believe it is more like a $45 value not $65. Thank you.

Never again

The winds and the current and the waves were way too much to go out paddle boarding. We finally got out to the island and couldn't get back. Even the guide was not able to move with the conditions. We had to be rescued by a boat. We are in very good shape and this was extremely difficult. The snorkeling was terrible because there was no visibility. we are exhausted and sunburned. I feel like the tour operators should know the weather and currents and tide and should not have taken us out.
Response from Host , Jan 2022
Hola Virginia, we are so sorry! The snorkel conditions and winds can be very unpredictable and the Kayak Club guides do their best to make the right decision. Please contact us for a full refund and we will provide any free tour that you like. Deepest apologies from the Native's Way team.
2021 Captain Island Snorkeling

Trip was awesome start to finish- The winds challenged us considerably, but Reinaldo and several friendly local guys on boat came to help my family have fun/safely. Captain island was awesome, with abundant wildlife everywhere! Reinaldo again went above and beyond to make sure we understood what each and every critter was.

Snorkeling was a blast! I felt like I was swimming around inside a salt water fish tank. Ronaldo, our guide, seemed genuinely excited to be showing us around the island. He’s a very friendly guy with high energy and positive demeanor. His English vocabulary is still growing but he’s easy to understand and his enthusiasm more than makes up for it. I had never snorkeled before and he was attentive to make sure I learned and had a good time (finding/pointing out unique fish, lobsters, starfish, etc.). My girlfriend and I walked away with smiles and good vibes. Paddle boarding was tough because of high winds but we knew what we were getting ourselves into.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
