How a custom day works
Pick your ship, your day in Roatán and your party, so we can custom build your day around your port window and party. Request a quote, tell us what you'd like, and we'll send your custom quote the same day with every entry fee listed, so there are no surprises. Nothing is due until you approve.
Age limits: zip line 5+, snorkeling 6+ (must be able to swim), horseback riding 12+, rum tasting 18+.
Getting off the ship in Roatán
Carnival, Princess and Holland America ships dock at Isla Tropicale (formerly Mahogany Bay). Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, MSC, Celebrity, Virgin Voyages, Margaritaville at Sea, Regent, Oceania and Crystal ships dock at Port of Roatán (Coxen Hole). Your reservation shows your port and the exact steps.
Port of Roatán (Coxen Hole)
- When you get off the ship, head to the shopping area and turn right under the double stairway (you'll also see a sign for taxis).
- You'll pass the independent tour sellers. They'll try hard to sell you an excursion; just tell them you're already booked.
- At the end of that section, turn left, then right toward port exit gate #1.
- Your driver is waiting across the street with a sign showing your last name.
Isla Tropicale (formerly Mahogany Bay)
- When you get off the ship, head toward the duty-free shop and walk through.
- Walk up the hill and turn left toward the taxi parking lot.
- Turn left toward the port exit gate and walk up the hill.
- Your driver is waiting with a sign showing your last name.
Can't manage the hill? A taxi is $2 per person; tell the driver your private driver is waiting at the gate.
Before you sail: your driver's name and phone number are on your reservation, sent to you before you sail, so you can reach them if you need to. Only go with the person holding a sign with your name.
Questions people ask
Can I book a custom tour in Roatán?
Yes. Choose Build your own day: pick from our list, or tell us about something you've seen or heard about, and we'll plan it and time it to your port window. You get a custom quote the same day, and nothing is due until you approve.
What can I include in a custom day?
Pick from our list of 19 activities, like sloths and monkeys, a dolphin encounter, a zip line, snorkeling, a catamaran, fishing, the chocolate factory and West Bay Beach, or tell us about something else you've heard about, and we'll make it happen. We work out the route and timing so you're back at the port an hour or more before all-aboard.
Can I just hire a private driver for the day?
Yes. The Freestyle Day is a private vehicle and your own driver with no fixed itinerary, for as long as you like within your port window. Food, drinks and any entry fees are paid on the spot, and they're yours to choose.
Are there age limits?
Some activities have age limits: zip line 5+, snorkeling 6+ (must be able to swim), horseback riding 12+, rum tasting 18+. We'll confirm everything for your group when we send your quote.
How big can our group be?
Up to 30 guests on any excursion, including Build your own day and Freestyle Day, with sedans to 30-seat shuttles.
Can I get a custom tour if I'm staying on the island?
Yes. We pick you up at your hotel, resort or rental. Tell us where you're staying and the day you'd like on our island page.
