Tulum, Tikal and Copan ruins, Caye Caulker and Livingstone are just some of the excursion destinations clients can expect to be treated to on this great tour. Utilising local transport clients make their way south from Cancun, experiencing a variety of cultures, sites and people along the way. In the initial days of your tour, you will visit the island of Caye Caulker. Here clients will experience the relaxed atmosphere of the island through activities such as walking the sandy streets, scuba diving or just relaxing on the beach.
There are no cars on Caye Caulker which contributes to the low environmental impact on this area. This is one of the reasons we take clients to this island, and why our tour leaders are highly particular about advising clients of how to maintain its pristine condition. We tour this island as it is so environmentally and economically sound. Through supporting such a modest infrastructure, we omit the pressure to develop the island in a more industrial fashion. Thus maintaining the astounding wealth that is this environment.
Carbon Offset Scheme:
Working in partnership with international conservation charity World Land Trust in our continuing quest to establish and maintain our position as a leader in responsible travel, we are offering a new way for our travellers to make a real contribution to the health of the planet - the Carbon Offset Scheme.
World Land Trust is a not-for-profit, international conservation organisation that takes direct action to save rainforest and other biologically important lands. Since it was founded in 1989, it has helped local conservation organisations to purchase and protect over 375,000 acres of threatened habitats in Asia, Europe and Central and South America. There are many organisations offering carbon offsetting services, however we believe that World Land Trust has the most scientifically sound approach and socially responsible philosophy.
When you book your tour with us you will be able to offset a portion of your share of the carbon emissions created while you are on your tour. We will calculate what clients have donated, and donate an additional 10% of the total to World Land Trust. So the more you contribute, the more we can give! We will also absorb all processing fees associated with these payments, so there’s no administration cost to World Land Trust and they can spend the money donated where it counts - protecting threatened habitats worldwide.
What Will Happen to the Contributions?
World Land Trust will fund projects on your behalf through their Carbon Balanced programme, which reduces the amount of damage carbon emissions are doing to the environment. We will not profit from your carbon offsetting donations. Your contributions will be made directly to World Land Trust and we will not receive any direct financial benefit or commission from these donations.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
