pmdc5696 Posted February 2, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Does anyone know how to get into Gumbalimba if you aren't interested in a the ship's excursion. The activities we want to participate in, shopping and the park, don't come in any package deal. Is this a possibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollycruise Posted February 2, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Here is my warning about Gumbalimba. We rented a car in Roatan and went to the park. We were quoted a price to go into the park that was perfectly reasonable. When they overheard us talking about time and getting back to the ship the price went up. I mean WAY up. Apparantly they have some sort of contract with the cruise lines and no matter how you got there via tour bus or on your own you have to pay the full price of the ships excursion. It's a complete rip off. If you do go there on your own, don't mention that you are on a cruise ship and the price is reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustStartin Posted February 5, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 5, 2009 We were in Roatan last August. Did the Gumbalimba excursion thru Carnival. We had time after the excursion to visit the shopping area by the port, both inside and outside the gated area. I don't remember exactly how much time, sorry.
