Private tours from the Port of Roatán, with your own driver

The Port of Roatán is the cruise port in Coxen Hole, the island's main town. Your private driver meets you right outside Gate 1 with a sign showing your name, and the day goes at your pace.

Mayan Eden is about 6 minutes away, and West Bay Beach, West End, snorkeling and more are an easy drive. You're back at the port an hour or more before all-aboard, every time, by design.

Why book with us

From the ship to your driver at the Port of Roatán

Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, MSC, Celebrity, Virgin Voyages, Margaritaville at Sea, Regent, Oceania and Crystal ships dock here. About 45 minutes to get off the ship. If it takes longer, your driver waits.

  1. When you get off the ship, head to the shopping area and turn right under the double stairway, toward the signs for taxis and "Exit to Town."
  2. Walk through the independent tour sellers. They'll try hard to sell you an excursion; just tell them you're already booked.
  3. At the end of that section, turn left, then right, to Gate 1.
  4. Your driver is right outside Gate 1 with a sign showing your name.

How we plan your day

Ships usually spend about 8½ hours docked in Roatán. That leaves roughly 6¾ hours for your private day.

  1. Two clocks, both shown. Your ship keeps either its home port's time or Roatán time. It's the captain's call, and no schedule says which. We show both, always, and your reservation has a place to circle the one your ship is on.
  2. Off the ship and to your driver. About 45 minutes to get off the ship. Your reservation has clear directions to the pickup spot, where your private driver waits with a sign showing your name. Your driver's name and phone number are sent to you before you sail. If it takes longer to get off, your driver waits.
  3. Every excursion mapped to your port window. Real durations plus drive times, against the hours you actually have ashore, starting when your first stop opens.
  4. An hour held for the trip back. You're back at the port an hour or more before all-aboard. That hour is never counted as touring time.
  5. Your driver watches the clock. Your reservation lists all your stops and how long you'll spend at each.
