Festival of Whales
with Mark Carwardine: 2014 may sound a long way off but this special trip (two departures)
has limited spaces and is already filling up. Join
zoologist and TV presenter Mark Carwardine on a once-in-a-lifetime expedition to
Baja, California to observe grey whales, regarded as the friendliest of all
whales. Grey whales have been migrating to San Ignacio Lagoon for thousands
of years in order to mate and calve in the warm, shallow waters, and this
behaviour affords visitors the unique opportunity to witness these giants
showing off their new born babies. Price: from £3,890 inc. international
flights, transfers, full board accommodation (exc R/O in San Diego) and guided
activities. Group
departures: 20 & 26 Feb 2014.
