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.

2019 marks Belize Audubon Society's 50th Anniversary.  On February 6, 1969, the Belize Audubon Society (BAS) was founded for the purpose of learning more about wildlife in Belize and preserving it as a part of Belize’s heritage.  Today the BAS continues the important conservation work as the oldest environmental NGO protecting Belize’s precious natural resources. 

The Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System is made up of three remote coral atolls and a continuous barrier reef structure that runs parallel to the coast.  It's also is one of the most pristine reef ecosystems in the Western Hemisphere. 

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. 

We are delighted to announce a Yoga & Kayaking Retreat in Belize for this February 2019. Join us on this special departure at the Glover’s Reef Basecamp and relax, unplug and unwind.

We have partnered together with Gypsy Souls Yoga to offer the perfect balance of activity and relaxation on this Belize island getaway.

History was made on Dec 2, 2018 when multiple submersibles dove to the bottom of the deepest sinkhole in the world, the 407ft/124m deep Blue Hole in Belize.  Located in Lighthouse Reef, approx 70 kms off the coast of Belize, the Great Blue Hole is part of the Barrier Reef Reserve System, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
