List Members... I have one free space available to observe the Gray Whales of Magdalena = Bay off of the Baja Peninsula for the following dates. Feb 9-13, Feb = 16-20, Feb 23-27, Mar 2-6 (includes the fly in and fly out dates). If = you wish to arrive a day earlier to do "skiff & snorkel" day trip to = Coronado Island in Sea of Cortez off Loreto, so that you could get a = taste of both sides of the Baja peninsula, that is optional. Whale = Sharks are very common sighting here.
Please look at the following links for more information from our partner = organization: http://www.seakayakadventures.com/magdalena-bay.htm http://www.seakayakadventures.com/magdalena-bay-itinerary.htm Here are the conditions: 1. You pay for your own air to either Los Angeles or San Diego. 2. You pay for own air to Loreto, Mexico in the Baja where the trip = starts. 3. There is a first night hotel fee in Loreto of ~85.00US. 4. Certainly, we are interested in people that have an interest in = bringing a group through Rainforest and Reef at some point in the future = to ANY of our sites. So, we would like a brief history of your travel = abroad experience with students. If you are teaching at the High School = or Middle School level, we would like some kind of letter from your = administration saying that they have their full-backing to bring a group = in the future to one of the destinations that we offer Field Courses. 5. If/when you bring a group to one of our sites in the = future.....Rainforest and Reef at that time will reimburse you for the = airfare for your travel to Southern California and your second flight to = Loreto. This reimbursement fully depends on the site you travel to = (hopefully Baja) and the number of full-paying participants you bring. Regarding our Inspection Trips for Group Leaders, please see the = following. It explains this concept quite clearly.=20 http://rainforestandreef.org/it/what.htm While we can offer Inspection Trips to most of our sites for Group = Leaders.

The ground cost is 100.00 pp and again, = should you bring a group to one of our sites in the future, this ground = cost and all of your International and Domestic air costs for this = inspection trip will be refunded.
