Belize Carbon Neutral Travel

In line with the Belize Jungle Dome long term vision and Belizes Environmentally-Friendly appeal, we are in the process of working out Carbon Neutral Travel for our guests. What does this mean?

What is Carbon Neutral?

CarbonNeutral is the point at which the emissions from an activity or series of activities have been :

  1. Assessed
  2. reduced, where possible; and
  3. the remaining emissions offset through investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency or forestry projects

Definition provided by Carbonneutral.com

The average American generates about 15,000 pounds of carbon dioxide every year from personal transportation, home energy use and from the energy used to produce all of the products and services we consume.

What is the Belize Jungle Dome doing?

  • We are meeting with suitable Belizean organizations in order to offset the amount of Carbon emissions created by our guests travel. This includes calculating the emissions from Air Travel, Car Travel, Use of A/C, Travel in Belize by Car and Air etc. How will we do this? By offering a Carbon Neutral surcharge that will be used to support local Environmental projects such as re-forestation.
  • Attempting to reduce our emissions with simple measures such as collection of Rainwater.
  • Solar Hot Water Heating to reduce the amount of energy used in our Hot Water Heating.
  • Using Low energy Bulbs throughout our Lodge cutting out light energy bills by up to 1/3rd.
  • Composting Toilets.
  • It is our intention that we do not sacrifice our guests comfort so that Carbon Neutral travel will actually enhance the experience of your travel to Belize.
  • We are in the early stages of this development but would welcome feedback from guests who have stayed at the Belize Jungle Dome in the past and future guests considering traveling to Belize. Email us.

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.

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

What's the fuss about the Black Hole Drop Rappelling Adventure?




Its only a 1hr 30 minute Hike uphill through the Jungle, followed by a 300 foot rappelling descent, picnic and then an hour 15 minute hike around the caves back to base camp. Only for the strong willed.....
