YOUR TRIP LEADERS

Quality leadership is the key to a great trip and distinguishes Island Expeditions trips from the rest.
Our leaders - far and away the most experienced in Belize - are true professionals, taking great
pride and personal pleasure in sharing and creating memorable travel experiences for you. With

backgrounds as biologists and teachers, photographers, fishermen and explorers, they are able to
provide in depth knowledge of the regions and cultures we explore. Our remote wilderness trips
are led by specially licensed Belizean guides and North American group leaders. This means that
you are venturing to the remote islands and into the rainforests with Belizean guides who have a
wealth of experience and skill encompassing local knowledge, bushcraft, languages, cultures and

customs of Belize, along with leaders who are trained to North American standards with skills
such as Wilderness First Aid, Swiftwater Rescue and kayak instruction. Most importantly, your IEC
guiding team’s consideration for your safety, their fun nature and enthusiasm to teach what they

know are those leadership qualities that create great trips! We invite you to meet more of our guides
by visiting www.islandexpeditons.org
Much of the success of your adventure depends on the skill and dedication of the behind-the-
scenes teams. Here we honour our highly regarded cooks who keep us all happy with great food,

our equipment managers who find solutions to any problem, boat captains and drivers who always
know the way, and our camp assistants that are always willing and able. They are: Rio, Alex and Alex,
Phillip, Marta, Bol, Wasani, Kerry, Mud, K-Mike, Javier, Andrew, Adolfo Ramona and the porter team
at Maya Center.
