Its about a 20 min van ride to the property where a lovely couple greet you and show you around the place. Its a nice property with a small b&b on it. After you are introduced to the crew, you board the boat for a short ride out to the reef. The snorkeling is truly outstanding. The reef is massive... More

I booked outside the Celebrity Cruise excursions on a reference from a colleague who had been to Upachaya before. It was so wonderful! There was only one other couple with us, the guides were great. just as we headed out in the kayaks, the sky opened and here we were kayaking out to sea in the middle of a torrential... More

I just got back from a Celebrity Western Carribean Cruise. Roatan has the nicest reef and snorkeling. I booked directly with Upachaya and am glad I did. We had one other couple and the dive master for our nearly private snorkel tour. Paying and getting picked up at the port was so easy. The driver guide and host were all... More

With only seven people, we had the entire reef to ourselves to snorkel. The best advantage with Upachaya is its personal touch. I met someone who was on a Celebrity cruise tour and they were dropped off at a reef with over sixty people banging into each other. We learned about Upachaya through Trip Advisor. Does it really deserve five... More

We had a great time at Upachaya; all the more so as we were the only cruise passengers that day so we had the boat and guide to ourselves. The snorkelling started off great but soon the sky was darkening and by the time we reached the second site and were in the water, it was raining and getting quite... More

I booked this tour for my husband and I after seeing the wonderful reviews and we were not let down. Upachaya is a gorgeous resort and well worth the trip across the island, down a dirt road, and, yes, past the landfill. Our guide Al, and his assistant, Carlito, were wonderfully friendly and informative. Al was very attentive to his... More

We came to Roatan off a cruise ship. Had a nice time, snorkeling was good. Food was good. Just wish someone had warned us about the road to the hotel. We traveled thru a road that looked like the islands landfill. A little unsettling, kept thinking bandits were going to come out. . Had we known, there would have been... More

We booked our tour with Upachaya in Roatan Honduras through the interent and everything went smoothly. The walk outside the port to meet the driver was not bad at all. We were met by Marco and he toured us through the town while we waited for another ship to arrive. He took us to a point that overlooked the town... More

Top quality all the way. Great guide with personal service (Al). We saw two big sting rays, a sea turtle, star fish, lion fish, sea cucumber, sea urchin and thousands of beautifully colored tropical fish. If you are on a cruise ship, Upachaya offers twice the snorkeling time for half the price of the ship excursions! American owned and managed.... More
