This tour needs a minimum number of passengers to operate. If this requirement is not met by your tour date, you will be offered an alternative date.
This is NOT a shore excursion and will not pick up or drop off at Portland Cruise Port.
Portland is known as ‘tied’ island and is connected to the mainland via a single causeway. Depending on what time of day you travel, it can sometimes take 1-2 hours to travel from the Isle of Portland into Weymouth. We would urge you to factor in these extra travel times as we cannot guarantee your return to the ship on time.
*Times and itinerary variations should be expected due to opening times, weather conditions and availability. If this was to occur you will be notified by email.
After your fossil walk, we head to Lyme Regis where you browse the quaint cafes & fossil shops!
Fantastic day with the kids! Not sure we could have done this on our own. Seeing the Jurassic Coast and fossil hunting! Perfect!
