Glamping in Paradise - The Outer Atolls of Belize

If you’re looking to experience the most pristine coral reefs in Belize, you’ll want to include Island Expeditions’ basecamps at Glover’s and Lighthouse Atolls, in your travel itinerary. The Global Biodiversity Framework considers Glover’s and Lighthouse Atolls as the finest examples of tropical coral reef ecosystems in the entire Western Hemisphere and that’s precisely why we've established two unique basecamps at these premier locations.

Our Basecamps in Paradise

Island Expeditions’ basecamps are designed to provide maximum comfort with a minimal ecological footprint. You’ll be on a breathtakingly beautiful, remote island surrounded by pristine coral reefs but you won’t be roughing it. At our basecamps you sleep in walk-in Tent-Cabanas with comfortable beds, there’s a central bathhouse with showers and eco-friendly composting toilets. Our dining pavilion overlooking the sea, is where you’ll enjoy fully catered meals, a self-serve bar and a wonderful place to gather after the day’s adventures. These trips are perfect for group travel, family travel, couples and solo adventurers.

This was a trip of a lifetime for us! Lori and I grew up in Colorado, about as far from the ocean as you can get. Every day was a new and exciting adventure... Sailing along the reef over turquoise waters was one of the top 10 days of my life,
