FAQ

Question: I know Gumbalimba Park has a lot more to offer in regard to activities, but how does the beach compare to Tabyana Beach?

Answer: Both have white sandy beaches but Tabyana's white sand continues out for 400+ feet into the water so the water appears more clear. At Gumbalimba Park the water is just as clear, but about 50 feet out the seagrass starts. Then after that about 100 feet out you start to see the spectacular untouched reefs which are perfect for a snuba diving or snorkeling tour.

Question: I only have one day in Roatan, which tour should I do, Gumbalimba Park or Tabyana Beach?

Answer: The answer really depends on the type of person you are or the amount of activity you would like to do on your one day in Roatan. If you see yourself sitting all day under the sun (or palm tree) in a beach chair on a pristine beach with crystal clear water before you, then Tabyana Beach is probably for you. If you see yourself (or your family) playing with monkeys and parrots, touring a cave, zipping down a cable through the jungle canopy, diving and breathing 15-20 feet underwater exploring the reef and fish life, and then hanging the remainder of the time on the beach, then Gumbalimba Park is probably for you. We do have a tour that allows you to go through the Park and then over to Tabyana Beach for the day.
