Gumbalimba Park

This is a marvelous place to visit. We did this as a cruise excursion while we were in Roatan. Getting to be with the iguanas, macaws, and monkeys was amazing. Our guide was Christopher (in the first picture), and his knowledge was superb and his English was fantastic. His laugh made everyone laugh. You can ride the air swings from the village to the beach (about 10 min) for $15 a person for as many rides as you would like. The water is crystal clear, and the beaches are superbly maintained. Highly recommended!

Fun experience! The scenery is beautiful and the trails are well kept. We got to hold a parrots and meet a monkey. Lots of wildlife to see and many exhibits to look at. Definitely worth the trip!

This was my favorite excursion on our cruise! They let you take pictures with birds and monkeys, with trainer assistance. The employees were all kind and professional. Would highly recommend!

Gorgeous park & excellent guide, Michael! Our guide and our trainer were very personable & knowledgeable about the history of the island and the wildlife on the park. I really appreciated the fact that all the iguana, monkeys, agouti, and macaws are allowed to roam freely, and the monkeys aren’t caged nor macaws have their wings clipped. They also have all their head & chest feathers which is a sign of good health, contentment, and low stress. Beautiful happy animals = Awesome experience!

We went here through an excursion from our cruise. We had the best time holding the Monkeys and McCaws. The suspension bridge was also so fun, and there is beautiful scenery when crossing over it. Iguanas are everywhere, and that was also very cool.

This place was so great. Everyone got to hold and take photos with parrots and monkeys. You got a fun small-group tour and did not feel rushed. If you have difficulty walking distances, walking un-even terrain, with stairs, or across bouncing suspension bridge, they offer a golf-cart tour for an additional $10pp. My grandfather used this option and enjoyed the visit much more than another gentleman in our walking group who should have opted for the golf cart.

Beautiful park with tons of interesting plants and wildlife. Had an awesome time experiencing the trek and information provided by our tour guide. Great nature experience.

Add this to your tour ideas, especially if you have youngsters with you. The tour guide was a wonderful young lady. There are so many things to see and learn. Monkeys, lizards, and an awesome insect museum. Enjoy!!

Our tour guide was Diego. We met him through JB at Roatan Five Stars. It was an excellent tour. Diego (in the green t shirt was very informative and friendly and taught us a lot about Roatan, including his favorite foods. We highly recommend visiting Gumbilimba Park. The monkeys are camera ready and the macaws were beautiful. Make sure you walk across the bridge too. It's all a part of the charm.

The best zipline on Roatan. You start atop the mountain viewing the ocean far away in the distance, and with over 12 fun ziplines, you end up landing on the beach! Take the time to go through the museum and the animal sanctuary! Pay for a guide and cart it's worth it! Remember to tip these guy's they are a lot of fun and very kind. I have gone to this park since 2012 and always have a great time!

What a great park. People zip-lining, Macaws picture taking and The Monkeys. I'm glad we signed up for this excursion on our ship.

Great park! There is much to do with the family like pool, beach and the park. They have lockers for $5 you can rent and get the key at the souvenirs shop. Small shop with souvenirs and snacks. Prices are reasonable. Employees speak fluid English and Spanish. Nice and friendly staff!

We visited Gumbalimba Park through a shore excursion on a Royal Caribbean cruise, and it was the highlight of our vacation. The park is beautiful with a nice, private beach, a pool, and showers. There was a fun mccaw encounter that we all enjoyed, and iguanas all over the place. However, the highlight of the tour was the encounter with the capuchin monkeys. They were adorable and friendly, and it was extremely enjoyable.

I must also mention that our guide, Amos, was very informative, funny, and kind. He really made the tour great.

Recently visited on an excursion from our Carnival cruise and had the most amazing experience! Our tour guide Amos was funny and informative and able to keep my 7and 8 year olds attention the entire tour. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone !

My husband and I, along with family, visited here as an excursion on our most recent curise. We all loved it!

Seeing the beautiful macaws was the perfect start to this amazing park! It was such a joy to see all of the bird flying free and not caged up as they are in zoos. It was also clear to see the birds are very well taken care of.

Interacting with the white faced monkeys was a blast and I was thrilled with the amount of time we were able to spend with them! When not visiting with visitors, it was fun to watch the monkeys play in the trees and with one another.

While walking around the park, we saw many types of iguanas. A few were in a specific location, while numerous others were seen roaming throughout.

A dip in the ocean was the perfect way to relax and cool off before heading back to the ship.

I highly recommend visiting this park!

We visited Roatan on a Royal Caribbean cruise, and spent a fantastic day at Gumbalimba Park.

- It was a short shuttle bus ride to the park which was comfortable. Brian, our guide for the day, provided some history and insights along the way.

- Once at the park, we spent time with the Iguanas, Macaws, and Monkeys. The Macaws and Monkeys were very interactive and a lot of fun. It was one of the highlights of the cruise.

- The tour of the park included a man-made cave that provided more information on Roatan, the Mayan civilization, and a brief overview of the pirating that occurred. There was a fun suspension bridge to cross and a large insect collection on display.

- We ended our day relaxing in the ocean before catching a shuttle return to the ship.

If you like Macaws and Monkeys, and who doesn't, we highly recommend visiting the park.

What an unbelievable time we had at Gumbalimba Park! We stopped in Roatan, Honduras and made shore excursion reservations with ship, so glad we listened to them!

The pickup location was right off of the boat and was a quick drive around the island. We did the zip lining first, there were quite a bit of zip lines. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed that, I did as well. I tweaked my shoulder a little bit so missed the last two lines, but that was okay. It was a lot of fun!

Next we walked through the park, we got to see iguanas, parrots and monkeys! That was so unbelievably cool. I was hanging out on one of the benches and a mama monkey and her baby came over and sat next to me. Definitely a memory I will always remember. The grounds were pretty, they had a variety of flowers, trees to see.

We swam at the beach for a little while and did a quick stop in the gift shop before taking the shuttle back to the boat. It was a full day and definitely worth the money!🐒🌸🏖

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had the time of my life at Gumbalimba Park! I met Barney the green parrot who was in his late 20s!! Then I met Muñeco, the capuchin monkey, who got kicked out of his troop since he’s been romantically involved with the alpha’s partner (DRAMA!). The handlers were great and so helpful because I was a little afraid of these animals but they do a really good job of making sure everyone is happy and the animals get their treats 🥰 Please tip the handlers graciously for providing a safe, once in a lifetime experience and caretaking these beautiful creatures for everyone to enjoy.

The history and culture of Roatan, mixed with the nature and wildlife was a big hit for the kids and adults. Holding the birds, and then the monkeys was quite the experience. The animals seem very happy, and free to roam as they please which was refreshing to see. Amazing location and the staff was very friendly and knowledge. I am certain we will go back on our next trip to Roatan. I highly recommend.

We loved going to this park to experience the birds and monkeys! We loved how they were free to come and go as they pleased. They all looked very healthy and happy. There were some of the biggest iguanas I have ever seen in my life!. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the history of the island and also the plants. We enjoyed learning about the origins of the indigenous people and thier culture.
