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.
