What You'll Learn:
We'll
teach you the skills to become proficient in paddling, sailing
and snorkeling from a sea kayak. We can get you up on a windsurfer
for the first time, tune your eye to read whitewater and teach
you the techniques to safely navigate your inflatable kayaks
through rapids. Map
reading skills, how to set compass bearings, kayak surfing,
snorkeling, and the basics of saltwater fly-fishing are some
of the many areas of expertise our guides bring to enhance
your experience.
Being
observant and learning about life around us is an important
part of travel with Island Expeditions. One of
the most exciting aspects of adventure travel is learning,
and we recognize that when we provide in-depth knowledge about
the environments and cultures in which we explore, your experience
is greatly enriched. On the sea our guides are far and away
the most experienced and knowledgeable in Belize. Belize trip
leaders of Maya, Creole and Garifuna origin bring special
skills and knowledge of the areas we are traveling.
When
we travel in the rainforest your Mayan guide not only is a
veteran bushman but will also contribute a fascinating cultural
element to our wilderness experience. Onthe sea our Garifuna and Creole guides blend their stories
and legends with our day by day adventures on the Barrier
Reef and at our basecamps on Glover's Reef and Lighthouse
Reef. Our Belizean leaders are paired with North American
leaders who have a great deal of experience traveling worldwide,
are certified in Wilderness First Aid and are accomplished
river runners, sea kayakers, marine biologists, educators
and naturalists work together tp create an outstanding opportunity
for you to learn when you travel to Belize with Island Expeditions!
"I was astounded by the depth of technical expertise of our guides. They all showed their love of Belize and its ecology with each activity. Not only did I have a great vacation, but I learned a great deal about a beautiful country from a host of enthusiastic experts. Island Expeditions is the "gold standard" by which all future trips will be measured"
