information on your destination, articles on wildlife, ecology
etc., flight information, what to bring and how to pack.
This package will help ready you for your adventure travel
experience in Belize. Also included in your package will
be a medical condition form and release of liability which
you will need to complete, sign and return to our office.
To better facilitate last-minute bookings and groups with
multiple addresses, we also have an online version of our
pre-trip information package, behind the "I
am Already Registered" section of this site.
- Full

of liability form are due 60 days prior to departure. When
reserving a place on a trip within 60 days of departure,
final payment is due 7 days after you receive your pre-trip
information package.

rendezvous details by mail.

The
sales and administration office is available to you as a resource
for any questions regarding Belize. Although we do send out
a comprehensive pre-trip information package, outlining your
arrival logistics and packing list, there are always questions
that need to be answered. Please feel free to contact us at anytime!
When
Planning Your Trip...Think of "Day 0"
With
Island Expeditions Co. a seven day trip means seven days in
the field, not 2 days of airline travel and 5 days of vacation.
So on all IEC adventures we meet you the day before the trip
is scheduled to begin. This is "Day 0" and has been
conceived for your convenience and comfort. "Day 0"
is your day to arrive in Belize before the trip starts, meet
your fellow travelers, and to acclimatize to your new tropical
environment. From there be it a short flight or a boat charter,
your transportation and accommodation on this day are included
in the trip cost.
