SMALL BY CHOICE. PERSONAL BY NATURE.

Come as a visitor.
Feel like a guest.

We’re a small local operator with a simple belief: your day ashore should feel as special as the journey that brought you here.

That means a friendly face when you arrive, local knowledge along the way and someone who takes the time to help you choose the right excursion. From your first enquiry to the end of your day, you’re dealing with people who care.

Let’s plan your day

A FEW GOOD THINGS TO KNOW

Before you step ashore

Pickup arrangements depend on the day and the port’s requirements. On some days, we can collect you inside the port, so you can step off the gangplank and find our team waiting nearby. On other days, we meet you at Portland Castle, with a free port shuttle to bring you from your ship to us. We’ll email you full joining instructions before your visit, including your confirmed meeting point and pickup time.

Most of our tours include some light walking. Locations such as Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove do involve uneven paths, steps and gentle slopes, so comfortable footwear is recommended.

Your guide will explain the walking distances on the day, and where possible, participation is optional. If you prefer not to take part in a particular walk, your guide can suggest an alternative meeting point or easier option where available.

Yes. Choose Dorset, Exclusively Yours for a private excursion with your own group. We’ll help plan the route around your interests, preferred pace and the time your ship is in port.

This excursion is largely unguided. You travel with us and explore Stonehenge and Salisbury Cathedral independently. We confirm visiting times, ticket arrangements and what is included before you book.

Complete the enquiry form with your ship, date and group size. We’ll reply personally with availability, a price and booking details. Sending an enquiry does not make a booking or commit you to payment.
