Arrival facilities

Mahogany Bay vs
Coxen Hole

Two Roatan cruise facilities - confirm yours before booking pickups. We do not assign ships to docks.

  • Wildlife & Adventure
  • West Bay Beach
  • Reef Snorkelling
  • Cruise-Friendly Returns

Mahogany Bay and Coxen Hole are related Roatan arrival facilities on the south side of the island. They are not interchangeable meeting points. Ships may use different facilities - this site does not assign specific ships to docks.

Confirm your facility on cruise documents or the ship app before you book a pickup. Operators who support both still need the correct gate or taxi rank.

Mahogany Bay Cruise Center

  • Purpose-built cruise village with shops and organised tour desks
  • Walking village and taxi rank at the exit on a typical call
  • Many west-side beach and park vans meet here when the ship uses this facility

Coxen Hole (town pier)

  • Downtown-adjacent port near markets and banks
  • Different walking distances and traffic patterns than Mahogany Bay
  • Some west-side transfers can be shorter - still confirm with your operator

Excursion types (reef, West Bay, wildlife parks) can work from either facility when logistics are booked correctly. The schedule hub lists Roatan calls without inventing a pier split - use it for dates, then verify the facility with your cruise line.
