THE SEA IS OUR PLAYGROUND

Your sea kayak glides effortlessly into a world of tropical islands and coral reefs teeming with life. With mask, snorkel and fins on the
deck of your boat you’re ready to slip into the water one last time for the day - entering a world exciting and unpredictable. A world
delicate with shimmering light as you swim over waving turtle grass beds, in a moment your vision is swirling with silver flashes as a

mixed school of bar jacks envelopes you; just as suddenly they are gone. Purple sea fans waving as you float over, with a kick of your
fins you move on, searching over the white sand for the ridges and pinnacles of coral and the enchanting life you know they shelter.
Each day on the Caribbean, as we paddle our kayaks we stop to snorkel in a fantastic underwater world. Among coral strewn
waters, with the shallow draft and easy mobility of our kayaks, we find hidden places which few other travellers can explore. When
the trade winds blow we store away our paddles, raise sails on our kayaks and let the wind take us to our next adventure. The more

we learn of this remarkable world from our guides, the more we marvel at the beauty of the tropical seas. Our confidence is growing
each day with instruction and coaching and the kayak and the sea feel comfortable like home.
From your bed watch the sun rise over the brightening sea, its first warming rays promising adventures ahead - but first, fresh,

delicious coffee, then yoga on the beach before breakfast. You remember that you want to join the morning fishing trip in the motor
boat with James. After lunch, the guides have been talking about an epic drift snorkel over a reef that is legendary for colourful rare
fish, kayak lessons afterwards and then hammock time with a good book and the serenity of the sea.

I learned more during this trip than in any week of my life before. I came for the snorkeling but got so much more. Your staff are phe-
nomenal. You packed so much into the trip and yet I never felt like it was too much. Just have to figure out which trip to take next and

who deserves to go with me! It was a privilege to experience Belize with Island Expeditions!
