Happy New Year from all of us at Island Expeditions! As we enter a new decade, many of us are making our physical, mental and spiritual health a top priority. There's no better way to keep those resolutions on track by planning a wellness vacation.
Have you tried Fry Jacks? Here's a recipe to make this delicious Belizean staple and a lovely alternate breakfast, dessert or treat to serve over the holidays.
Fry Jacks are one of the most popular foods in Belize. These small triangles of dough are fried until golden brown and served warm as an accompaniment to breakfast or lunch dishes. The most popular way they are served in Belize is alongside traditional breakfast foods like scrambled eggs and refried beans. For a sweet treat, they can be topped with jam, powdered sugar, or honey.
The Holidays are nearly here and trying to find the perfect gift can be a difficult experience. This year, avoid the malls, online shopping and non-eco friendly plastic packaging and give the gift of travel. We get it, giving gifts is hard so we will help you find the perfect holiday gift!
Belize is a perfect destination for a solo traveller. Come here for adventure activities like snorkeling, scuba diving, sea kayaking and paddleboarding – and to explore the rainforest, ancient Mayan ruins or to get up close and personal with Belize's incredible wildlife.
It’s a friendly country that's easy to get around with reliable public transport and an extensive domestic flight network. As an English speaking country, there is less of a language barrier to overcome than other Central America countries.
Today, November 19 is Garifuna Settlement Day and is one of the most important holidays of the year in Belize.
