Here is some
information to help you or your travel agent make arrangements to
get you to our departure points. Below are some contact numbers
and links you may find helpful.
How
to get to our departure points (La Paz):
Option
1
1. Fly into
La Paz, Mexico (airport code LAP). This is the most direct and the
easiest. The most common option is to fly directly from your departure
point to Los Angeles (airport code LAX), then connect to your flight
to La Paz. Alaska
Airlines, Delta
and AeroMexico
all offer this route. We recommend checking with those airlines
as well as kayak.com or other
online sites or with a travel agent to check all of your options.
Option
2
2. For those
who are flexible in their travel plans, you can fly into Cabo San
Lucas (airport code SJD) and arrange transportation by van to La
Paz. Northern Lights can send it's driver for pick up and end of
trip drop off $600.00 US roundtrip. The cost can be shared with
other Northern Lights guests who will be on the trip with you. We
will just need to coordinate in advance. The $300.00 US will then
be split up to10 guests in the van each way. Payment can be made
at time of pickup. This is the most economical way.
Please check
with your travel agent for comparative flight costs or you may choose
to go through Kayak.com
or Expedia.com
which has proven to be as successful if not better than dealing
with the travel agents directly.
INSURANCE
We highly recommend
that participants purchase trip cancellation insurance, in the event
of unexpected cancellations. We also recommend that you have adequate
medical Insurance to cover any unforeseen situations that may arise.
WEATHER
The weather
is generally warm and beautiful. During the day temperatures range
from 70 - 80 degrees (20 - 30 degrees Celsius) and a t-shirt and
shorts are usually all you need. The evenings cool down and can
occasionally dip down to 60 degrees (15 degrees Celsius) sometimes
requiring light pants and jacket. Sunburn and dehydration, in any
weather, should not be taken lightly. Our daily activities are designed
around the weather and certain areas may be inaccessible due to
the sea and weather conditions. Safety and comfort of our guests
are our main priority.

range from 65 - 70 degrees (18 - 22 degrees Celsius)
