Paddle board expert and instructor Norm Hann and guests recently joined us on the Coral Islands SUP trip. We loved following their adventures as they explored the Southwater Caye Marine Reserve on Belize’s Southern Barrier Reef by paddleboard. We wanted to share some of their awesome videos and images in our latest blog post!

Check out our Instagram recap of the Coral Islands SUP trip with Norm Hann 2020:

Diving on the reef with Eagle Rays on this mornings snorkel. Belize is one of the most amazing places to put your head in the water and experience an intact ocean ecosystem. @islandexpeditions #normhannexpeditions #belize #eagleray #barrierreef #tobaccocaye #freedive #snorkel #dafins #belizetravel #belizevacation #coralislandssup

It was a magic day on the reef today for our trip from Tobacco Caye to Southwater Caye. Dead flat, crystal clear conditions. Never had it so good and so hot. Everyone crushed it!! @islandexpeditions #coralislandssup #belize #travelbelize #barrierreef #suptours #normhannexpeditions #standuppaddle @standupjournal @stand.up.paddle

With the aquarium like waters on the reef yesterday it was really easy to see all of the marine life from the deck of your board. Here we find a nurse shark that like to hide under the coral heads. @mark123j enjoying the experience while the shark makes its way under Robbins board. It was hard to paddle anywhere with the amount of marine life to see. @islandexpeditions @badfishsup @blackfishpaddles @vssl @xcelcanada #normhannexpeditions #belize #travelbelize #belizebarrierreef @mustangsurvival #livebeyondland #coralislandssup #exploreyourcoastline #islandexpeditions #nurseshark #sup #standuppaddle @standupjournal
