OUR LOCATIONS
A UNIQUE REEF EXPERIENCE!
IZE's marine field station and lodge is located on South Water Caye, a private
12-acre island paradise, surrounded by uninhabited mangrove islands, sea-grass flats, and pristine coral reefs. The undisturbed natural conditions, along with the diverse habitats and abundant levels of marine life, make South Water Caye one of the finest outdoor classrooms in the Caribbean!
A UNIQUE RAINFOREST EXPERIENCE!
Nestled on the banks of Blue Creek is IZE's private rainforest preserve and wildlife sanctuary. It is the only field station of its kind, located in a true primary rainforest! Inhabited by thousands of intriguing organisms, Blue Creek's biodiversity is incomparable. It is the ideal place to observe and interact with an untouched and complex jungle ecosystem full of Belize’s finest flora and fauna.
