I did the 7 night "Glover's Reef and River of Caves" trip with Island Expeditions in April 2013. This was my second trip with IE - we had an outstanding trip in 2012 to Lighthouse Reef / Half Moon Caye (see my TA reviews), and in 2013 I took the opportunity of a last minute sale on the IE site...

This was our first visit to Belize but it won't be our last. We were looking to mix some adventure with relaxation during our two week vacation. Island Expeditions fit the bill perfectly. We were able to experience tropical sea kayaking and world class snorkeling and diving in an amazing setting away from the masses. In between the planned excursions... More

This was a really quick trip and my first to Belize, so I was looking for a tour that could handle all the details for me. Everything I could have hoped for. The reef is amazing, with plenty to see and explore. The staff were very helpful, making sure everyone was aware of the safety issues around kayaking and how... More

It was a well organized trip with lots of new information learned about nature, country,...but at the same time we had a lots of fun and enjoyable time. All guides, cooks, and other support workers make our trip so memorable. Big THANK... More

By way of background, I have enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling actively since 1971. My trips have been in New Zealand, Australia(Great Barrier Reef), South Africa, Chile,BC, Norway(Spitsbergen), around northern coast of Scotland, and USA. Last night I returned from Belize in a trip booked with REI, which uses Island Expeditions. The Paradise Islands trip unquestionably was the best of my... More

Over all my trip was a fantastic trip of a lifetime! There were a few small issues that I think future travelers of the Paradise Islands trip should be aware of. First the accommodations on Tobacco Caye are a little more than rustic and would not be what someone from the US would consider a "Lodge". I also had no... More

My wife and I, both sixty, did the Lighthouse reef tour in Feb/13. It was wonderful in every respect. We snorkeled around Lighthouse Caye every day with T-zac (sp?) and Rachel guiding us, marveling at the coral and the fish. Rachel gave us a talk in the mornings on what we were seeing, or about to see, and on the... More

Island Expeditions is an excellent tour guide with knowledgeable guides and staff. Activities were well planned and you always felt supported by the staff. There is always an effort to educate about both environment and Belize culture as well as entertain and provide adventure. There were always lots of options including hammock time. The Food was AMAZING!, Tasty, healthy, prepared... More
