This winter will be my fifth season running standup paddleboarding trips in Belize with Island Expeditions and it has been an incredible paddling and cultural experience. I feel fortunate that my life's passion and purpose has provided me the opportunity to show clients from around the world this immersive tropical experience. My goal is to create experiences that I love and those that I want to share so I am thankful to Island Expeditions for the opportunity to partner  in order to create these adventures for you. Coral Islands Experience Belize is a paddling paradise and Island Expeditions owner Tim Boys knew this long before anyone when his passion for adventure and exploration brought him to Belize over thirty years ago with a few sea kayaks in tow. Together we have combined our passions for people, paddling and places by providing an active vacation with the chance to explore remote islands and reefs while learning about the local culture. Great trips are always more than the sum of its parts and these trips are no different. Highlights for me have been the opportunity to paddle from white sand island to white sand island along the barrier reef within the protected SouthWater Caye Marine Reserve. See for yourself why this area has been dedicated a UNESCO World Heritage site. Paddling the reef is unique and showcases the wide array of  marine life like Sea Turtles and Spotted Eagle Rays in the shallow, clear waters. To understand a place you must understand it's people and I enjoy the relationships I have built with the local Garifuna and Creole people. Those I work with are talented guides, cooks and support staff who have now become my friends. They are beautiful hosts and proud ambassadors of this tiny county who love sharing their culture
