Real Talk:
Despite our attempt at keeping our Belize Travel Documentary as authentic as possible, you are still watching a highlight reel. When editing, we naturally tend to choose the most exciting clips.
Flying a drone:
If you want to legally fly a drone in Belize, you’ll need to go through a lengthy process with several government agencies. In total, the cost for the license amounts to roughly 300 USD. The application process happens mostly online but also requires an in-person meeting at the Civil Aviation building close to the airport. Find out more here: civilaviation.gov.bz/index.ph...
Full Disclosure:
This trip was predominantly self-funded. However, we did partner with both Muy’Ono and The Family Coppola Hideaways. As such, our stays at Turtle Inn, Copal Tree Lodge, Sweet Songs Jungle Lodge and Blancaneaux Lodge were complimentary. All other expenses were covered by ourselves.
