Belize Paddleboard Trips

We are delighted to see Belize and our SUP trips featured in this recent Lonely Planet article as one of the “9 best places for long-distance SUP adventures”. The article highlights our stand-up paddleboarding trips in the beautiful Southwater Caye Marine Reserve. The Coral Islands SUP trip is the ultimate lodge to lodge paddleboard experience created with SUP master instructor, Norm Hann.

We are also thrilled to see Norm’s Great Bear Rainforest SUP trip featured in the article. During the summer months, Norm specializes in offering SUP and eco adventures trips to the Great Bear Rainforest on the remote north coast of British Columbia, Canada.

Island Expeditions offers a six-day trip between the palm-draped islets of Tobacco Caye, Billy Hawk Caye and Southwater Caye. Paddle by day over the Belize Barrier Reef – part of the second-largest coral system in the world after the Great Barrier Reef in Australia – exploring sheltered lagoons, narrow mangrove channels and crystalline waters ripe for snorkelling. Then hop into a hammock to watch the sunset each night from a family-run lodge…”  9 best places for long-distance SUP adventures - Article by Mark Johanson - Lonely Planet (read the full article)
