We have just created a new You Tube Account where we will be sharing more video of life in the Jungle and Tropical Islands of Belize. You Tube is a video sharing/uploading service. Below is a sample of the silly stuff MTV Wildboyz did when they visited the Central American Jungle.

Coincidentally one of the owners (Simone Angel) of the Belize Jungle Dome and Green Dragon Adventure Travel worked for MTV, so stay tuned as we share our favourites and upload more video from Belize.

Manatee Protections in Belize Should Be World Model

"In Belize they've got a strong [manatee] population, probably the densest in all of Central and South America," said Caryn Self-Sullivan, a doctoral candidate in wildlife and fisheries at Texas A&M University in College Station......

Scientists believe at least a thousand manatees ply Belize's coastal waters, which are protected by barrier reefs, dotted with mangrove islands, and sliced by narrow channels........


......Belize's current tourism boom, for example, is driving increased coastal development and boat traffic that pose a threat to the nation's manatees, she says.


Frommers Article On Belize and Green Dragon Adventure Travel

Unbelizable Beach and Jungle Getaways

"Unscathed by overdevelopment because of a protective barrier reef that keeps cruise ships from visiting the many small islands along its coast, Belize remains a tourist haven where travelers seeking privacy or adventure can still find both. Days here are filled with edifying activities like guided trips to Mayan ruins or simple downtime......" Read more

Top 10 Travel tips for travel to Belize

  1. Leave your fancy designer clothes at home. This country is laid-back to the max, where flip-flops and a bikini or hiking boots and shorts are as fancy as you need to get.
  2. Take off your watch. Simply go to bed when it is dark (anytime after 6.30 pm) and get up again with the sun (anytime from 6 am onwards). Your daily alarm clock will be the breaking waves on the shore or the tropical chorus of birds and howler monkeys in the jungle.
  3. Realize that when people in Belize tell you 'right now', they don't actually mean 'right now'. They are actually asking you to wait a minute (or two or three). Try not to stress, things will get done.
  4. Slap on the SPF to protect your skin from sun damage and pre-mature aging. Your tan will develop anyhow!
  5. Bring mosquito repellant. We have good nights and bad & it's impossible to predict when the mosquitoes will appear.
  6. If you are hooked on junk food, get your fix before coming to Belize. You will not find any KFC's, McDonalds or Burger Kings here. Our fast food is chicken, rice & beans.
  7. Be prepared to fall in love in with this odd little country (secretly eyeing up the real estate signs and casually asking people about local property prices)
  8. Unless you are a diving, sun bathing or sea fishing fanatic, do not spend more than 5 days on San Pedro or any of the other Cayes. You will have seen all there is to see and will end up going stir crazy.
  9. Leave your hair dryer at home. With all this humidity and sunshine you'll be fighting a losing battle anyhow. We all have terrible hair in Belize..join us!
  10. Try out things you've never done before. Abseil, kayak, dive, drink from a coconut and enjoy being away from what you call 'the real world'. This place is actually more real than most of Western society, as what you see is what you get. No billboards no catch phrases, just Mother Nature at her finest.
