A Fresh, Wholesome Culinary Adventure
At Island Expeditions, food is more than just fuel — it’s a vital part of the adventure. From ocean-to-table seafood feasts on remote coral atolls to picnic lunches in the heart of the rainforest, our culinary offerings are crafted to reflect the vibrant flavors and fresh ingredients of Belize.
Inspired by the Land & Sea
Each day, our experienced guides and camp cooks prepare delicious meals featuring a mix of traditional Belizean and international cuisine. While fresh-caught seafood like lobster (when in season), conch, and reef fish are often highlights, chicken and pork dishes are equally central to our menus, reflecting the everyday flavors of Belizean home cooking.
You can expect beloved local favorites like stewed chicken with rice and beans, pork in savory tomato and pepper sauces, or barbecue-style grilled meats. Tropical fruits, locally-grown vegetables, and homemade baked goods round out meals that are as wholesome as they are delicious.
Authentic Belizean Flavors
On lodge-based adventures, you’ll enjoy thoughtfully prepared meals at eco-lodges and charming local restaurants. Whether you’re dining beachfront on a remote caye or in a cozy rainforest lodge, every meal is designed to reflect the culture, community, and care that define our trips.
And of course, no Belizean meal is complete without a splash of Marie Sharp’s famous hot sauce to spice things up! You’ll also enjoy a cold Belikin beer after a day of adventure and sip on refreshing local “squashes” (traditional fruit juices made from orange, pineapple, or mango) served at all of our locations.
And don’t miss a morning favorite: Fry Jacks — light, golden, and perfectly puffed pieces of deep-fried dough served warm. A true Belizean breakfast staple, best enjoyed with refried beans, eggs, and fresh tropical fruit.
We Cater to You
We take pride in our ability to accommodate a wide range of dietary needs. From vegan and vegetarian to gluten-free and allergy-specific diets, we ensure every guest enjoys fresh, flavorful meals throughout their journey. Just let us know your preferences, we’ve got you covered.
Eat Well, Adventure Better
In Belize, food connects us to nature, to culture and to each other. Whether it’s a grilled snapper under the stars, a spicy chicken on rice and beans on a breezy beach, or a tropical fruit breakfast before a paddle, your Island Expeditions experience is full of memorable meals in unforgettable places.
