Day 7:
Breakfast at the hotel (included in your retreat cost!)
Time to explore Loreto or just relax by the pool depending on your flight times.
Leave from the hotel at your leisure via taxi to the airport (or stay longer and relive your memories!).
BONUS: One individual, professional coaching/counseling session by a licensed therapist and holistic wellness coach is INCLUDED in the cost, including email follow up after we depart (a $200 value). We will keep your momentum going!
You may also arrange for additional coaching/counseling sessions before, during or after the retreat!
COST: $2,400 per person (with shared accommodations at the hotel and camp) includes transportation to and from the camp/San Ignacio, 3 nights at the camp, 6 whale watches, all meals and happy hours while at camp, the special Blue whale day trip, and hotel stay for 3 nights in Loreto (1 night before and 2 nights after camp) including breakfast. No ‘single supplement’ (we hate those) if you are willing to share a cabin and room (one bed for each person).
$750 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT DUE BY NOVEMBER 30, 2022! After that, payment in full is due upon registration in order to ensure we don’t lose our place at the camp! March is the best time for seeing the most moms and baby Gray Whales. The camps FILL UP so don't hesitate!! The camps fill up nearly a year in advance and they are holding our spaces. We need a minimum of 8 by January 1st to proceed.
What’s NOT included:
*Plane fare/transportation to Loreto. (I have researched the best, easiest and cheapest ways to get there and back. Easy to fly direct from San Diego via the Tijuana skyway or Los Angeles/LAX and perhaps direct from Phoenix.)
*Taxi fare to and from the airport--very easy to get and share taxis.
*Meals outside of the camp (Loreto and San Ignacio) or snacks on the way to the camp. Meals are VERY reasonable priced and wonderful at various restaurants in Loreto, including the hotel.
*Tips at the camp up to about $125 (but it is up to you) and the hotel, van driver, etc.
*Travel insurance. We STRONGLY urge you to purchase travel insurance in case you can't make it or all or parts of the trip cannot move forward due to unforeseen circumstances.
* Dates subject to slight changes depending on flight availability. More about flights will be known later in 2022.
** All safety equipment is provided and you don't have to get wet!! The pangas have padded seats but no back rest (same as ALL the boats that operate in the lagoon) and can get bouncy if it is windy. Those with significant back or neck issues should talk to their doctor first. Knee pads are HIGHLY recommended (but not necessary) so you can get even closer to the whales when they come up to the boat!
Whale watches are subject to cancellation (not likely) due to weather/wind. Refunds may be issued for just the whale watches but it is up to camp management.
Special Notes:
There are NO Refunds since payments are passed through to the hotel, camps, and operators as well as the time involved in planning and executing a retreat. It takes a whole year to get everything in place and countless hours are donated so that I can bring others to these special locations.
There is a No-Alcohol before happy hour policy, even if it is available at the camp during lunch, due to safety concerns on the boat during whale watches. If you choose to drink at lunch, you are choosing to skip the afternoon whale watch:)
