CARBON COMPENSATION & SOCIAL IMPACT FUND

NOW THERE'S A BRIGHT IDEA

Your boat ride to and from Blue Apple generates around 7kg of CO2 and until electric boat technology improves, we can't get it down much more. The concept of 'Carbon Offset' is a complex one, so we mix it up, with part certified carbon offset, part local environmental restoration and part community development.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

 

Day Pass - 5,000 pesos (under $2) per person

 

Hotel Stay - 20,000 pesos (under $5) per room ​

​

In a typical month, our guests contribute around 5 million pesos to the fund (between $1,000 - $1,500)
