Itinerary of your trip Lighthouse Reef Adventure - 6 Night

  • Day 1 Day 1
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 1

      Arrive at the Belize International Airport where an Island Expeditionsโ€™ representative will meet you and welcome you to the country. Youโ€™ll be taken to the Birdโ€™s Eye View Lodge in the Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary. The Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary, with its swamps, wetlands and four lagoons, provides an ideal resting place for thousands of migrating and resident birds.


      After checking into your accommodations youโ€™ll have a chance to meet your fellow travelers, enjoy a meal and if time permits, explore Crooked Tree Village. Crooked Tree Village is one of Belizeโ€™s oldest Creole Settlements. Airport transfers, dinner and lodging are included. Today is the day to meet your fellow travelers, and acclimatize to your new tropical environment.

  • Day 2 Day 2
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 2

      Coffee is served at sunrise. With your binoculars in hand youโ€™ll enjoy the sounds and sights of the awakening wilderness. There are usually several hundred birds of many species feeding in front of the lodge along the shores of the Crooked Tree lagoons. After a healthy Belizean breakfast, youโ€™ll embark by boat to explore the surrounding areas. Throughout this adventure, our aim is to provide you with tremendous birding and wildlife opportunities. Turtles, parrots, ibis, Moreletโ€™s crocodiles, and Iguanas are frequently seen.


      Your boat charter departs at 10 am and takes you through white sand cayes, mangrove ranges, and beyond the main Barrier Reef to Lighthouse Reef Atoll. Lighthouse Reef Atoll is located at the furthest edge of the Belizean Reef System. It is 55 miles offshore of the mainland. Upon reaching Half Moon Caye, your guide team will orient you to your new island setting and help you settle into your accommodations. Youโ€™ll then enjoy a late lunch and an afternoon snorkel or kayak around Half Moon Caye.

  • Day 3 Day 3-5: To 5
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 3-5: To 5

      Due to its isolated location from the mainland, the waters of Lighthouse Reef Atoll are exceptionally clear, with inspiring scenery, and a fabulously rich reef system. This ecosystem offers some of the best kayaking, snorkeling, and diving in the Caribbean. To begin, our guides will provide professional instruction - teaching you the fundamentals of sea kayaking, snorkeling, and safety in the waters of the tropics.

      Over the next few days, youโ€™ll have many options to explore, including a shipwreck, which looms just north of the caye. In 1971, a ship named the Ermlund lost power during a storm and was deposited on the reef by a large wave. This 4000 ton wreck rests silently as a landmark, and is one of many shipwrecks in the area. It serves as a constant reminder of the navigational hazards in these waters. Youโ€™ll also have ample opportunities to learn from our guides about the marine reef ecology, the islandโ€™s mangrove, and the interior forest habitat. This area of the park consists of 45 acres. Many species of birds nest on the island, including a 4000 red-footed booby colony. The Audubon Society has built a series of viewing platforms to intimately observe the many nesting sites. And of course, we always give you the option of hanging out in a hammock with a good book and a cold beverage!

  • Day 4 Day 6
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Day 6

      For your last morning at Lighthouse Reef Atoll, the choice is yours. Snorkel your favorite patch reefs, walk the island trails, swing in a hammock or beachcomb along the immaculate island beaches. After lunch a motor charter arrives, and youโ€™ll begin to prepare for your trip back to the mainland. This return journey takes you through Turneffe atoll across the Great Barrier Reef, and youโ€™ll arrive at the Belize Biltmore Hotel usually by late afternoon. You can enjoy a fresh shower and swim in the hotelโ€™s pool. Your final evening is reserved for relaxing at the hotel or exploring the local area.  

  • Day 5 Day 7
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm
