Program description: |
|
|
For us, the art of travel begins with the community of cultures and peoples we visit. Island Expedition's Belize vacations are more than adventure and exploration in exotic locales. Along with skilled instruction in sports and activities, our trips brim full with learning and interaction with the people, the land, the sea and the wildlife of Belize.
Our adventures bring us close to the land, the sea and the people, where students accomplish goals together as a team and also achieve milestones on their own. We learn to paddle and sail sea kayaks, navigate by GPS or descend a jungle river. We study coral reefs, tropical forest ecology and gain rare insights into the culture and history of the Maya, Garifuna and Creole people in Belize.
Our field studies programs involve lectures, presentations and projects ranging from population counts of crocodiles, monitoring the impact of human activity on coral reefs to traditional methods of rendering oil from coconuts or learning the dances that accompany traditional Garifuna drumming. If you are an educator, parent or student and have a desire to cross a threshold of new discovery, please contact us to receive further information and sample trip itineraries.
