Jolly Roger Catamaran & Gumbalimba Park

[lvcruises]

How about this excursion, has anyone taken it recently? Did you enjoy it, was the snorkeling good? How about the food? The search didn't bring up much information that was recent, like the last 6 months or so. I figure the Catamaran will allow for better snorkeling for my DH vs Tabyana Beach. Any thoughts or opinions?

I will be sailing with NCL on the 22nd and have this excursion currently booked. I can cancel if needed. I am hoping that at 82$ a person this wil be worth it?

I will be following the posts along with you=):D

So far it seems that no one has done this excursion or it was so bad no one wants to post about. Thought I would try bumping it back to page one to see if anyone has anything to say tonight.:o

You might have better luck if you post on the Roatan board,.,.however, I took this excursion in January 08 on a Costa Cruise

 

We travelled by bus over a steep windy road to Gumbalina Park on the west side of the island. The Park is nicely landscaped, and there is a small animal refuge there with parrots and monkeys. Good photo ops. We were taken on a guided tour and allowed to take pictures with he parrots and monkeys.

 

The catamaran is docked at the park. It goes out about a half mile into the harbor and stops over a reef .The snorkelling was good, and we were in the water for about an hour

 

Then the boat returned to shore back to the bus. Our tour did not have food.

 

I enjoyed it.

I did, but no replies there either. We thought it looked like fun guess we will just have to give it a shot. Thanks for your reply

it does look good...I didnt remember seeing it when I was looking at excursions. I planned on using Victor Bodden because he was so highly recommended.

Try looking again, its $82 for 5.5 hours. 9 - 2:30. When they are that long I worry about booking outside the cruiseline, especially in countries like this. What is Victor Bodden charging?
