September is a month filled with holidays and celebrations in Belize. Festivities commemorate the Battle of St George Caye on September 10 and Independence Day on September 21. The people of Belize celebrate this month carnival style with parades, vibrant costumes, dancing, music and jam-packed revelry!
We wanted to share some favourite memories from our guests who joined us on the Epic Belize trip from last season.
Many of our past guests would agree that some of the best family memories are formed from multigenerational vacations, shared with grandparents, siblings, children and extended family.
Belize offers the perfect destination to bring generations together through shared time exploring Mayan ruins, tropical rainforests and the Belize Barrier Reef and Cayes.
In June, a group of conservation organizations issued a joint statement to congratulate the decision by the Government of Belize to enact legislation to protect the Maya Forest Corridor.
We love to see our guests out there sharing their moments and memories of Belize. We wanted to share a few of our favourite guest Instagram photos of the past season.
We wanted to share this beautiful poem from a guest who stayed with us in April at our Lighthouse Reef Basecamp on Half Moon Caye.

Congratulations to all the teams who recently completed the Belize Tourism Board (BTB) Love Belize Sea Kayak Challenge!
This was only the second time this event has happened - the first being last year.
The event took place over 6 days from Punta Gorda to Corozal in excess of 215 miles.
Wednesday, May 22, 2019, marked the start of the BTB Love Belize Sea Challenge. 14 teams departed Punta Gorda at 6 am in the morning and were blessed with good weather.
There are five stops in total along the BTB Love Belize Sea Challenge Route not including the start-off point.
The Belize Tourism Board (BTB) and Love FM, a local Belize radio station, have teamed up to offer this amazing 6 day sea kayak race, the BTB Love Belize Sea Challenge.
This sea kayak contest is taking place from May 22 to 27, 2019, with a paddling route that stretches from the southern region of Belize to the northern, totalling over 190 miles. Teams participating in the race will have an opportunity to see Belize from an up-close and local perspective. As paddlers make their way up the coast they will be able to experience the rich cultural history of the local communities.
