Portland England Shore Excursions & Tours from Portland - Jurassic Coast, Stonehenge & Bath
The Isle of Portland sits at the tip of the Jurassic Coast in Dorset - one of England's most dramatic stretches of coastline and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cruise ships dock at Portland Harbour, one of the largest man-made harbours in the world, giving you direct access to the Dorset countryside and some of southern England's most celebrated historic sites. Portland England shore excursions from Private Shore Trips offer three full-day private tours, each with a licensed local guide and private vehicle for your group only. Our most popular Jurassic Coast private shore excursion is a 7.5-hour day along the UNESCO World Heritage coastline - Durdle Door, the natural limestone arch rising from the sea that is one of the most photographed landscapes in England, Lulworth Cove and its near-perfect circular bay carved by thousands of years of wave erosion, the harbour town of Weymouth, and Chesil Beach - an 18-mile barrier beach of sorted pebbles that has no match anywhere else in Britain. For guests whose interest is English prehistory, the Stonehenge and Salisbury private shore excursion is an 8-hour tour combining Stonehenge - the 5,000-year-old stone circle on Salisbury Plain that remains the most visited prehistoric monument in the world - with the medieval city of Salisbury and its 13th-century Cathedral, which holds the best-preserved of only four surviving copies of Magna Carta.
For guests who want to see one of England's finest Georgian cities, the Highlights of Bath private shore excursion is an 8-hour tour to the UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath - the 2,000-year-old Roman Baths built around the only natural hot spring in Britain, the 15th-century Bath Abbey, and the Royal Crescent, the grandest example of Georgian architecture in England. All tours from Portland England include a licensed Blue Badge guide where applicable, a private vehicle, and our back-to-ship guarantee. Reserve with a $50 deposit.
