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.

Back in early December 2018, a historical expedition was lead to the bottom of the Great Blue Hole in Belize.  Aquatica Submarines in collaboration with the Roatan Institute of Deep Sea Exploration (RIDE), Fabien Cousteau and Richard Branson took multiple submersibles and dove to the bottom of the 407ft/124m site.

After this initial expedition, 30 plus more dives took place in order to record data and footage for scientific research.
