Trip Itinerary
Meals: Lunch & Dinner
Meet an Island Expeditions representative at 8:30 am Biltmore Plaza Hotel lobby, make a quick stop at a local shop and head to our waiting motor boat charter. From here we embark on a boat journey that takes us beyond the main Barrier Reef to Lighthouse Reef Atoll and our basecamp on Halfmoon Caye. To begin, guides provide professional instruction - teaching sea kayaking, snorkeling, and safety in tropical waters before heading out to explore our tropical paradise.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
“If there’s a heaven on earth, then this must be it” one guest wrote of Halfmoon Caye. You’ll find empty beaches, a rare bird colony, untouched coral reefs and sleep with breathtaking views of a billion stars stretching over the ocean. Over 3 perfect days we snorkel the Blue Hole, paddleboard, sail our kayaks and venture outside of the reserve for Belizean style fishing expeditions.
Meals: Breakfast & Lunch
For your last day at Lighthouse the choice is yours - snorkel your favorite patch reefs, paddleboard or sea kayak around Halfmoon Caye. For a slower pace, you can swing in a hammock or walk the island trails to a secluded beach. After lunch, a motorboat charter picks everyone up for the return trip to the mainland, arriving late afternoon.
