What places and activities do you specialize in?

"We specialize in small guided trips in Belize since 1987. Our trips visit stunning locations, from jungle lodges in national parks to Adventure Basecamps on Lighthouse Reef and Glover's Reef Atolls. Activities include snorkeling, kayaking, Stand Up Paddleboarding, zip-lining, rappelling, caving, archaeology, birding, and white-water rafting.

Committed to responsible tourism, Island Expeditions provides unique travel experiences with a conservation, community or volunteer focus. We actively support the Belize Zoo, the Belize Audubon Society, several local schools and other local conservation initiatives.

How did you get involved in travel?

"After finishing University in the UK in 2001, I took a one-year working visa in Whistler, BC, Canada. This began the path of my passion for adventure, travel and the outdoors.

Summers were spent hiking, paddling, camping, and winters on the slopes while working in the travel industry. Today, I am excited to share my love of adventure and the outdoors with guests looking to experience the incredible tropical destination of Belize."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Waking up to the sound of the waves crashing on the Belize Barrier Reef from the over the water cabanas on the tiny caye of Tobacco Caye. Then enjoying a fresh cup of coffee, sitting on the cabana deck and thinking of all of the great adventures the day would bring! "
