What to expect
Your driver shares Roatán's history and culture as you go, with cute seaside villages, sweeping Caribbean views, lush tropical scenery and the hidden gems only a local would think to stop at, pulling over wherever the views are best. Grab the classic photo at the iconic Roatán Sign. You go at your own pace, never waiting on a bus.
Check a tour for your sailing
On a cruise? Pick your ship, your day in Roatán and your party to see your exact times in both clocks, and every tour that fits your port window.
Ships usually spend about 8½ hours docked in Roatán. That leaves roughly 6¾ hours for your private day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Your driver watches the clock. Your reservation lists all your stops and how long you'll spend at each.
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
What is the best Roatán island tour?
It depends on your day. For the classic island tour and beach, pick Island Tour · West Bay Beach Break. To see both the east and west ends of the island at an easy pace, with the Chocolate Factory and West End shopping, pick the Roatán Private Island Tour (about 4 hours). For sloths and monkeys too, pick one of the Daniel Johnson's tours.
Is the island tour private?
Yes. Every tour on this page is just your group, with your own vehicle and driver, never shared.
Can I do an island tour and the beach on the same day?
Yes. Island Tour · West Bay Beach Break and Daniel Johnson's · Island Tour · West Bay Beach Break both finish at West Bay Beach.
Can I do a Roatán island tour from the cruise port?
Yes. Your driver picks you up at the port and has you back at the port an hour or more before all-aboard, every time, by design.
Can I book an island 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, and we'll send you your price.
How long is a Roatán island tour?
It depends on the tour. The Roatán Private Island Tour is about 4 hours and covers both the east and west ends of the island. On the other tours, the guided island tour is about 2 hours on the west end, alongside the other stops in the tour's name: Daniel Johnson's Hangout · Island Tour is about 3½ hours in all, and the tours with West Bay Beach run 5–7 hours.
