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.
Island Expeditions Guests. Thank you for supporting our "Make Space in Your Case" program, an initiative that gives guests an opportunity to donate school supplies to students in Belize. With your help, this year we were able to donate school supplies to two schools.
The school supplies are constantly a great help to students, parents and teachers giving them the tools needed to succeed. Belize has an excellent school system, but the reality is many families cannot afford to provide their children with basic school supplies.
Beautiful Belize is not immune to plastic pollution and sadly plastic washes ashore even to this most pristine location. Guest and friend Maury Eldridge joined us at our Lighthouse Reef Basecamp on Half Moon Caye this March. We wanted to share Maury's words and his wonderful poem about his experience helping the war on plastic.
In the lead up to Earth Day on April 22, 2019, we wanted to share updates on some of the steps we have taken towards improving environmental sustainability practices in Belize throughout our operations.
