Travellers are once again free to explore and visit other countries, finding adventure and new experiences to create memories that will last a lifetime. But as you head back out into the world, taking to the skies or the seas, where will you go?

With so many wonderful destinations available to you, it can be hard to choose. So, where should you go? We’ll make that decision easier with the suggestion of a place that overflows with natural beauty and a diversity of ecosystems.

We all have dream vacations that we would like to take. Some of us want to experience ancient architecture. Others want to experience foreign cultures or enjoy exotic cuisine. Then, of course, there are those who want to relax on a sandy beach in the warm sun or see fabulous natural sights. If perchance, you want to experience a bit of each of these, Belize may be for you.

We are all ready to turn the page to new beginnings.  Even though the world continues to deal with the current health crisis, we are all adapting to a new way of living, adopting new practices such as wearing masks, sanitizing our hands constantly, and social distancing. Travel is rapidly adapting as well, following new protocols to ensure health safety and well-being, not only for tourists but also for host communities and people back at home.

We are happy to announce that we have been approved and recognized with Belize’s Tour Operator Gold Standard Certification.  In order to ensure and guarantee safe travel conditions for all our guests and staff members, we have implemented enhanced health standards and protocols following the latest government-approved guidelines.

All of us at Island Expeditions have been completely blown away by the response to our Island Expeditions Belize Crew Fundraiser through GoFundMe.  We have received well beyond our expectations in terms of donations.
