ARRIVING IN ROATAN: Upon arrival into Roatan, you will first clear immigration. The next stop is the baggage carousels, where you will grab your bags. Depending upon the airport rules in effect when you arrive, a baggage handler named Oliver (or, in his absence, Orlando) will be near the carousel or at the end of the baggage x-ray machine belt. Guests can feel comfortable utilizing the baggage handler's trustworthy services, and tipping them will be greatly appreciated. Oliver or his alternate will be looking for Cabanas on Clark’s Cay luggage tags that will be mailed to you, so please use those on all your checked luggage.

He/they will help you with your luggage and get you checked in to your onward flight if flying to Guanaja or assist you in finding your transfer company if you are taking the Ferry to Guanaja.

One enjoyable option is to take the Galaxy Wave Ferry from Roatan to Guanaja.

The Ferry is a 52' Catamaran yacht. We prefer to book our guests in the First Class section, which accommodates 60 passengers in an enclosed upper deck of the vessel with privacy, more space, and comfort. In addition, First Class offers a complimentary soft drink and snack during the trip, TV screens, and private washrooms. Should you wish to spend part of the time outdoors, First Class guests can also sit or visit the area outside. Please get in touch with us for current pricing. On Saturdays, the Ferry currently departs for Guanaja at 4:00 pm. Therefore, guests should be at the ferry ½ hour before departure.

Reservations should be made with us in advance so that transfers can be pre-arranged from the airport. The ferry fees will be prepaid along with your Resort package.

Airport to/from Ferry Transfers: Transfers can be arranged for individuals and groups. Please contact us for current pricing. The transfer fees will be prepaid along with your Resort package. Gratuities are not included, so tipping your transfer driver will be greatly appreciated.

Your transfer driver will take you to the ferry terminal, where Galaxy staff will be ready to take your checked luggage.  Three checked bags are allowed for free, with a maximum weight of 50 lbs. each. (Great news for our photographers and divers!)

After boarding, sit back, relax, and let the vacation experience begin on the scenic 1 1/2-hour motor to Guanaja.

The ferry arrives at the boat landing at Bonacca Cay, Guanaja, at 5:30 pm, perfect timing to watch the sun begin to set. Since the main mode of transportation in Guanaja is via boat, watching the small outboards arriving to pick up family and friends makes for a very interesting cultural experience.

The staff from Clark's Cay will be waiting for you at the bottom of the gangplank to meet and greet, collect your luggage, and take you on the 5-minute boat ride to the Island.

For the return trip, the staff will deliver you to the ferry dock around 8:00 am for the 8:30 departure to Roatan, where the ferry docks at 10:00 am.  Once you have collected your luggage in the baggage terminal, a driver will be outside the baggage claim waiting for you if we have booked your transfers.

Here are helpful tidbits to review for guidance when flying to/from Guanaja.

Direct flights operate from Miami, Atlanta, and Houston into Roatan, subject to change. Please ensure your incoming flight arrives in Roatan no later than 2:00 p.m. Your departing flight out of Roatan should be booked no earlier than noon.

There are no scheduled flights between Roatan and Guanaja. However, charter options are available for up to 3 people on a private single-engine plane or, for groups, charters on a CM Airlines twin-engine turboprop.

IF FLYING ON A CM AIRLINES CHARTER: If you are flying on a CM Airlines charter, your baggage handler will take all your luggage and escort you to the CM ticket counter, which is the second to last just past the main ticket counter area for the major airlines.  Your baggage will be weighed.  Please remember that there is a checked baggage allowance of 50 lbs. One carry-on (backpack or purse) is allowed at up to 10 lbs. There are no overhead bins in the planes, so all carry-on items must fit on your lap or under your seat. All additional luggage will be loaded according to space and weight. Extra baggage, if allowed, will be $1.00 per lb.

Your handler will also collect $3.00 cash from you to pay the local security fee, present you with the receipt, and otherwise assist you with preparing for your onward flight. Guests should feel comfortable utilizing the baggage handlers' trustworthy services, and tipping will be greatly appreciated.

Once you have your boarding pass, you can proceed through Security and sit as a group on the right-hand side of the departure terminal to await an airline representative to announce your flight. Please be sure you are in the departure terminal 45 minutes prior to your departure time.

IF FLYING ON A PRIVATE PLANE: If you are flying on a private plane, the baggage handler will take all of your checked and carry-on baggage to be weighed and collect $3.00 cash from you to pay the local security fee. He will tell you to sit and wait in front of Larry and Luey's Fly High Bar, which is directly in front of you as you exit immigration and customs. Guests should feel comfortable utilizing the baggage handlers' trustworthy services, and tipping will be greatly appreciated. Your pilot will know to look for you at Larry and Luey's.  You will then go through Security and follow your Pilot to the aircraft for your departure.

GOING THROUGH SECURITY:  Getting through Security (similar to going through TSA) can take some time depending upon the volume of people traveling, so please allow plenty of time to get through. Please be sure to have your passport and $3.00 security fee receipt in hand.

FOOD & BEVERAGE OPTIONS:  Airport lobby amenities (before going through Security) include Larry and Luey's Fly High Bar serving drinks and bar food, an Espresso Americano coffee bar, a pharmacy, a gift shop, and restrooms.  Once in the departure area, there is a vendor selling food & beverages, restrooms, and a gift shop.

ARRIVING AT GUANAJA AIRPORT:  You will be greeted by Dunbar Rock representatives, who will collect your luggage and lead you to the boat dock and transfer boat. Once all luggage is accounted for, you will depart for the 10-minute ride to the Resort.
