Initially, we'll greet you right from your cruise ship port, whether that's at Isla Tropicale Port or Town Center Coxen Hole. Our team will be there outside the gate to greet you and assist you with your pickup.

Hotel Guests

If you are visiting and staying at a hotel or resort on Roatán, we have you covered. We will pick you up directly from your hotel’s lobby or any location you may be on the island. It is very easy and hassle-free. Our packages are also customized for your convenience.

DROP OFF

Following your excursion, we will return you to the port with ample time before your cruise departs. We will leave you inside the port and ensure everything is in order before bidding farewell. Our aim is to provide a seamless and stress-free return, allowing you to relax and enjoy your journey.

Additional Information

If you arrive at Isla Tropicale Port via a cruise ship, please exit the port through the main gate. Once you are outside the port, take a left and walk past the taxis. Continue walking toward the designated meeting area and look for our friendly staff holding a DD Roatán Tour sign. Our meeting point is approximately a 5-minute walk from the port.

If your cruise ship docks at the Town Center Port in Coxen Hole, it will take around 5 minutes to walk to the exit gate. Our dedicated staff will be positioned just outside Gate Number 1. Please look for the DD Roatán Tour sign.

Upon your arrival, we respectfully request that you reach out to us within 30–45 minutes after disembarking from the ship.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a wonderful tour. Donny was great and accommodated all our needs. I was with my two sisters and we all use walkers. Donny was great and very helpful. The rum and chocolate experience was fun and the shopping in the little store beside it was really nice. Danny took us to a very neat place to eat. Donny said he was the Roatan paparazzi So when he got my phone when I went in the cage with the monkeys and shopping, he took lots of pictures. I would highly recommend using this tour company. Mickel was very good to communicate and answer all my questions.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just been to Roatan today and used ddroatan tours, great job, was waiting for me outside terminal with a name placard. We did the animal tour, chocolate factory and a tour around the island where the driver suggested photo spots and he took our pictures. ( the 4 of us).  AC always running in the minivan when we got got back in and the driver was very knowledgeable and polite.  I would recommend them certainly. It’s far better to have someone there ready to pick you up as Michael Bolton messages you when your ship docks.  It’s very daunting to land there and have dozens of hawkers screaming at you to use their tour services.  5 stars.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Booked a last minute tour with DD Roatan tours to the Sloth and monkey sightseeing round trip. Our guide was Michael and he was waiting at the cruise port for us and explained how the tour would run. He told us facts about the areas we were passing through and showed us local landmarks. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and Michael was a brilliant guide. Would thoroughly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael was an excellent tour guide. My 79 year old dad had a wheelchair. He helped us load and unload at every stop. He was very professional and attentive. We visited the sloths and monkeys, chocolate, Roatan sign, souvenir shop. The BEST part Michael took us to get some oxtails and they were amazing. I need a couple of more plates. We will definitely book with him again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mickel was our tour guide for the day, and he was amazing! We had an excursion that was cancelled that morning, and we had to come up with a last minute plan for the day and quick! He approached us and gave us some great options that in turn made it one of our top favorite days during our cruise. Mickel was honest, kind, and very informative. Our group of 8 would definitely seek him out again during our next trip to Roatan. 10/10 - Highly recommend!
