A Road Trip to Remember...
In 1987, Tim Boys, a Canadian adventurer desperate to extend his paddling season, tied his kayak to the roof of his vehicle and hit the road - destination unknown. Eventually he ended up in Belize and quickly discovered an untapped paradise. Over the next few years he continued exploring and bringing in friends and locals to join him. Soon, Island Expeditions was born. We've continued to build upon those early days with a strong commitment to the people of Belize, adventure, exploration and sustainability.
Pioneers of Belize Tourism
We introduced the modern sea kayak to Belize in 1987, brought the first stand-up paddle-board trips to the country’s remote reefs and were the first to sail sea-kayaks in Belize. We've continued to explore and evolve over the years - establishing unique adventure basecamps on the outer atolls and building eco-friendly lodges in the middle of the rainforest.
Transformative Travel...
It's not just a buzz word for us, it's what we've been doing since the very start. This type of travel CHANGES LIVES. Just ask our guests! The world is a big place and yet our guests return to travel with us again and again. We run trips that truly need to be experienced to be believed. We'll lead you on an unforgettable journey through the natural landscapes of Belize, its diverse cultures and unique history.
