Belize vs. Mexico game was a hit! Even though Belize is ranked #172 in the world and Mexico is ranked #14, they certainly did not play that way.Belize put up a heluva fight and did very well throughout the entire game! The goalie blocked several shots… he was so great! As you can imagine, there were far more Mexico fans than there were Belize fans but we stood out and we were far louder

The Great Blue Hole of Belize is a large underwater sinkhole. It is almost perfect circular in shape, over 1,000 feet in diameter and 400 feet deep. It was formed as a limestone cave system during the last ice age when sea levels were much lower. As the ocean began to rise again the caves flooded, and the roof collapsed.This site was made famous by Jacques-Yves Cousteau who declared it one of the top ten scuba diving sites in the world. In 1971, he brought his ship, the Calypso to the hole to chart its depths. [3] Investigations by this expedition confirmed the hole's origin as typical Karst limestone formations, formed before rises in sea level in at least four stages, leaving ledges at depths of 70, 160 and 300 feet. Stalactites were retrieved from submerged caves, confirming their previ

My second visit to the Jungle Dome, this time with my daughter Jodi and grandson Alex. How wonderful to relive an incredible adventure through my grandson’s 10 year old eyes! Once again the staff treated us like extended family ~ hospitality superb and the meals wonderful. Luis was a fabulous guide, always up for something different on our adventures together ~ and as a result we found the ‘real’ crystal cave on the river tubing trip! A 45 minute trip ended up taking 3 hours! Very awe-inspiring and great fun! Thanks so much Karen, Andy, David and all staff. We enjoyed our family holiday immensely.

Belize, with its tropical climate, may seem something of a left-field choice, but it has always been a popular destination for American retirees.It has average temperatures ranging from 24C to 27C.English is the official language and the cost of living is low. However, the pronounced rainy season is likely to put off some people.Ben Mason, partner of Some-place Else, a property company in the country, said: “Currently, the majority of retirees to Belize are from the US, but with its slower pace of life, lower cost of living, and retired person’s incentive programme, it is a Commonwealth country that is rapidly attracting interest from British expats looking to make it their home.“We have sold properties to clients who have brought property in Belize with the aim of retiring there whe
Wow! The trip of a lifetime!!Thank you Karen and staff at the Jungle Dome for the unforgettable experiences. We started our 6 year anniversary trip in San Pedro where we snorkeled until our hearts were content ~ 4 days of back to back water adventures.The inland Belize tours were the most breathtaking. We started by visiting Xunantunich and kayaking on the Mopan River with our guide Henry. Then off to the Black Hole Drop – what a gorgeous hike through the mountainous rainforest. If our legs weren’t sore enough next we traversed the Actun Tunichil Muknal water cave where we conquered our fears of heights & claustrophobia. Lastly we were awestruck by the Tikal Mayan Temples. How Magnificent!We finished our tour of duty with a horseback ride and ziplining our way back to the USAKevin
All of our activities were fun and memorable and the guides tremendous. In regards to our visit at the Jungle Dome, everyone there went above and beyond the call of service and we felt right at home immediately. I must say that we cannot thank your amazing staff enough. Karen was so friendly and accommodating...Everyone was so thoughtful and attentive and David was great to talk with. What a fabulous young man. You have a great bunch of people and a top notch establishment!

This is our second time staying at the Belize Jungle Dome. Our first stay was so incredible that we decided to come back, but this time we brought seven friends and family along with us!The Jungle Dome is the kind of place that you feel immediately welcomed into their beautiful sanctuary. You become a part of their family for you stay. The staff are incredible, the food will put any five star restaurant to shame and the ambiance and rooms are wonderful.The excursions that are available through the Jungle Dome are incredible, adventurous and a once in a lifetime trip. I highly suggest visiting the ancient Mayan Ruin City of Caracol, the deep Mayan caves of Actun Tunicial Mucknal (ATM), The Black Hole Drop (Not for the faint of heart) and the many other wonderful day trips that they offer. Each trip has lunches included and transportation which makes the day trips stress free and easy to relax.I Highly recommend the Belize Jungle Dome if you are looking for a great adventure in a wonderf

Magazines and newspapers are raving with publications on Belize and how truly wonderful this small tropical paradise is.We decided to boil it down to five reasons to retire to Belize. So here you go:1. The Most Obvious ... the Place is BeautifulBelize is a gleaming gem of the Caribbean which until recently has been give little attention.

Belize also consists of more than 200 cays (islands), ranging in size from a few hundred feet to 25 miles long and four miles wide. Most of the cays are located inside the 200-mile Belize Reef.Belize has hundreds of miles of undeveloped beaches which are perfect for fishing, diving, scuba diving, yachting and more.

The Central American country of Belize, which has been a hidden retreat for the most die-hard adventurers and nature lovers, is showing signs of moving into the mainstream.

The new projects include the Smuggler’s Run Plantation north of Belize City and Ara Macao, a remote development on a Caribbean peninsula
Before you go into the water with the dolphins, the trainers teach you a thing or two about the animals. About their physiology, their behavior and about ways that we can all protect their habitat. You are then taught how to behave in the water with the animals. The 4 dolphins at Spanish Lookout Caye are bottlenose dolphins, bred in captivity & they are all relatively young, about 4 to 6 years old, so they are still learning a lot and don’t always behave perfectly.For more information email us at info@greendragonbelize.com
We booked the "Reef and Ruins" package and had no idea what we were getting into. Turns out that this was the best vacation ever. From the moment we arrived in Belize we felt so welcome. David greeted us at the airport with a big smile and took us on our first adventure, the Belize Zoo.Our seven year old was already having the time of his life. After the zoo David drove us to the Jungle Dome. As we arrived at the Jungle Dome we were greeted by the sounds of howler monkeys and parrots. At that moment we knew that this was going to be some adventure. Karen ,the manager, greeted us at the front gate like we were old friends returning home. Her warmth and friendliness was so comforting. She showed us around the property and brought us to our room. The room was spacious and very clean and it looked out to the pool. There were warm chocolate chip cookies waiting for us. We were ready to see what was next for us.During our stay we visited CheChem Ha and Xunantunich with our English speaking g
Thank you so much for the most wonderful adventure we had in Belize at the end of July. The Jungle Dome is a little slice of paradise – it was so warm and cozy; a real home away from home. The amazing adventures of the day contrasted nicely with the relaxed atmosphere at the Dome and you and your colleagues did an fantastic job making us feel comfortable and welcome.I never thought I’d be rappelling 300 feet or hiking out of sink holes or being *this* close to skeletal remains of Mayan sacrifices or zip lining or any of the stuff we did when we stayed there. Friends ask me what was my favorite part and I always answer – surviving!! But really, it was the nights at Jungle Dome, swaying in the hammock after a full supper or lounging in the pool after a strenuous day in the Jungle. Truly, you and your colleagues at the Jungle Dome do a terrific job and we all had a great time!Special thanks to Luis for his excellent guidesmanship (is that a word?) and for putting up with three very

Thank you for showing us a wonderful time! We enjoyed our visit very much and it had to do with all the work you did to help us. The food, accommodations and pool as well as all the activities were great!We will remember this vacation as one of our best!Sincerely,Pam, Chad & Monika JoshiBedford, MassachusettsPS….Even Hurricane Dean was part of our experience! We can now say that we survived a category 5!! I am so glad that Belize was not hurt by this hurricane. Thank you for taking all the precautions and keeping us safe!
From horseback riding to kayaking to zip lining (and getting my hair stuck during the zip line), staying at the Jungle Dome never left me a dull moment! Thanks so much for a wonderful stay and especially all the wonderful food. This trip was great and hopefully I will be able to persuade my family to visit Belize soon.Thanks again,Addison Miller (guest of the Glaser family)August 2007
We just came back from a week-long stay at the Jungle Dome and have nothing but great things to say about it. We did the 8-day adventure, which pretty much covered all the most popular land activities (e.g., Tikal, Caracol, ATM, cave tubing, zip line, etc.). Overall, our stay was simply amazing.When thinking about the jungle dome, you really have to separate it into two parts (i) the lodging and accommodations and (ii) the tour arrangements. It excels on both parts..........Read More from our Recent Guests on Trip Advisor. Click Here.

"My best friend from college and I decided to do a "kid-free" vacation andchoose to come to the Jungle Dome in Belize. It turned out even betterthan we had dreamed! It was SO fun!!! My favorite thing about the JungleDome is the location. You are way away from the hustle and bustle of allthe tourist stuff. It's a beautiful little paradise. Not even a pavedroad where you're going. We loved our room, super clean and pretty. Oneof the other really unique things about the Jungle Dome is that you eatbreakfast and dinner with the other travelers and it's really fun to getto know everyone and hear about their trips.We did the "Reefs and Ruins" tour. Our first day was so neat as weclimbed into the jungle to go to the Che Chem Ha cave. William was anexcellent guide and his wife cooks a fabulous lunch! We then went withLuis (another guide) to the Xunantunich Ruins. Luis was knowledgeable andvery helpful and loves to take pictures for you. We loved the ruins, justbeautiful!The next day we went

Okay, if you're reading Tripadvisor you're probably a cautious traveller reading all the glowing Jungle Dome reviews thinking, "Come on, nobody's that good." Well folks, they are!Other reviews already do an excellent job of providing details, so I will only provide a few tips.- EVERY DAY TRIP WAS FANTASTIC. Be clear, some are 12 hour excursions that present physical challenges. We're 40-something day-hikers (2-3 hours max) and we went with our 10 and 13 year-old for 8 days. All of us did just fine with the physical demands of the trip.- If you get Luis as a guide, you are in for a treat. The man is an encyclopedia.- Sunscreen's a must (we burned in the water in 20 mins without it)- Keen sandals were perfect for almost every excursion, wet or dry, just be sure to spray your feet with DEET if you're walking in the jungle.- You eat your meals with other guests on the patio. The place seems to attract really decent folk. Enjoy them.- If you get a chance to do a night walk in the jung
Hurricane Dean passed through the Yucatan Region and Belize earlier this week and we are all so relieved that so far no lives were claimed by this monstrous Category 5 Hurricane. As you can see from the picture it covered a large area of Central America as it passed through.Fortunately the center of Belize, Belmopan, and the Cayo District received no damage and in fact if it was not for the news we would never have known there was a hurricane in the region.Many Thanks to all who sent their best wishes and kind words to the Belize Jungle Dome on the day before it hit our area. We appreciate that some of our previous guests were concerned for our welfare.
