DurationApprox. 4 hours
ExperiencePrivate & customizable
LanguagesEnglish & Spanish

A custom Roatan tour lets you explore the island at your own pace with a private, air-conditioned vehicle and a bilingual local driver-guide dedicated to your group. Choose the places that interest you most, from beaches and scenic viewpoints to wildlife, local food, cultural stops and ocean adventures.

This approximately four-hour private tour starts with your driver-guide and flexible sightseeing route. Attraction tickets, beach passes, snorkeling, ATV rides and other paid activities are not included in the base fare. Select available extras in the booking form or discuss your priorities with our team so we can plan realistic travel times and a comfortable return.

We arrange pickup from both Roatan cruise ports, hotels, resorts and other confirmed locations across the island. Your ground transportation is exclusive to your party; attractions and third-party activities may also welcome other visitors.

You can also request transportation to Roatan Brewing Company or Pristine Bay Golf Course. These are transportation-only stops: food, drinks, brewery experiences and golf fees are additional. You must make your own golf reservation directly with the course before confirming the route with us.

How to customize your dayYour itinerary & timing

Your custom Roatan tour has an approximately 4-hour base duration. Stop order and timing depend on your selected activities, pickup point, traffic and the time you need to return. Ask us to confirm any extension before booking longer experiences such as golf, multiple water activities or a visit to the East End.

    Share your date, group size, pickup location and available time. Cruise guests should include their ship and port details.

  2. Choose your interests and any extras

    Pick your sightseeing priorities and, if desired, select paid activities in the booking form's EXTRAS section. Selected extras are added to your booking total. Transport to a brewery or golf course does not cover any purchases, admissions, tee times or services provided by those venues.

  3. Plan a route that fits

    We help arrange your stops in a workable order, accounting for travel and activity times. For golf, coordinate your tee time and pickup and return arrangements with us, and make the required golf reservation directly with the course.

    Start at your arranged meeting point and enjoy the itinerary reserved for your group. Your driver-guide shares local knowledge and helps manage the day's timing.

    Finish at your arranged return point. For cruise passengers, we plan to return to port at least 90 minutes before the ship's scheduled departure, while also respecting the cruise line's published all-aboard time. Ship time and Roatan local time may differ; always confirm both before the tour.

Frequently asked questions

What makes this a private custom Roatan tour?

Your vehicle and bilingual driver-guide are dedicated to your group, with a route built around your interests. Attractions and venues may have other visitors. For optional boat-based activities, confirm whether that particular boat experience is private when selecting your extras.

What does the US$38 base price include?

The base price is US$38 per person for a minimum of two guests. It covers the private driver-guide, transportation and other services listed in the inclusions section—not admission to optional attractions. Selected paid extras and applicable taxes appear in the booking total. Meals, brewery purchases, golf fees and other personal expenses are separate.

Can we choose our own itinerary?

Yes. Tell us which places and experiences matter most to you. We help build a route around those choices, available activity times, your pickup location and your required return time.

Can we visit Roatan Brewing Company?

Yes. Request a stop when planning your itinerary. This is a transportation-only option; beer, food, tastings and other venue purchases are not included in the tour price.

Does Pristine Bay golf transportation include a round of golf?

No. It includes transportation only. You must reserve and pay directly with the golf course. Green fees, carts, equipment rental and other golf services are excluded. Share your tee time and plans so we can confirm the total duration and return arrangements; a full round and extended waiting are not automatically included in the base tour.

Can we book this as a Roatan shore excursion?

Yes. We coordinate pickup from either cruise port and build your itinerary around the time you have ashore. We aim to return to the port at least 90 minutes before scheduled departure, taking the cruise line's all-aboard time into account. Your meeting instructions specify the pickup point and Roatan local time.

Is this suitable for families and larger groups?

The sightseeing portion can suit many ages, and we arrange transport based on group size. Optional activities have their own age, health and accessibility requirements. Share everyone's ages and relevant access needs before booking.

How does the $50 advance payment work?

You may pay in full or reserve your tour with a US$50 advance payment. That $50 is part of your total tour price, not a refundable security hold or extra fee. The remaining tour balance is payable upon arrival under our booking policy; applicable taxes and selected extras are shown during checkout.

What happens if our cruise ship cannot dock in Roatan?

If your ship cannot make its Roatan port call, Roatan Exclusive refunds the amount paid for your tour, including the $50 advance payment when applicable. Changes to separate bookings made directly with third-party venues follow those venues' own policies.

Cancellation policyFull refund with at least 24 hours' notice
