Be the family hero - Reinvent the holidays Belizean-style


Glover's island Belize basecamp
Island Expeditions reinvents the 2012 holiday season with Belizean family adventures filled with fun, play and tropical pleasures.  Families can enjoy a range of 'family-friendly adventure trips', with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be in Belize for the December 21st Maya Winter Solstice  - a pivotal time of reflection and renewal for the Mayan culture that occurs every 52,000 years.  By booking now, families can take advantage of pre-season low airfares.  Discounts are available for children on all Island Expeditions trips.
Don't wait for the kids to leave the house to take an adventure vacation.  Work-weary families can trade in the turkey this year for a seafood feast and a simple beachfront cabana, with world-class snorkelling and kayaking just steps away.  Island Expeditions is passionate about family travel,  inviting  parents to enjoy the  islands through their child's eyes.  The unique island Basecamps  offer a range of activities, with the flexibility and freedom for families to do things together or separately.  Parents can relax as kids 'learn  by experiencing',  exploring the diverse marine ecosystem  with knowledgeable guides.

The December 21, 2012 Maya Winter Solstice is the completion of the cycle of the 13th B'ad'tun in the Mayan Long Count calendar.  The Mayan people - and the world - will be celebrating this momentous event this December in Belize.  Contact Island Expeditions for trips over the Winter Solstice, and have your family join the Maya when the world is renewed.
