ABOARD NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SEA BIRD!
WHALES &
WILDNESS
SPRING IN THE SEA OF CORTEZ
APRIL 15-22, 2017 - SOLD OUT
ALL BOOKINGS WILL RECEIVE A $500 AIR CREDIT. Book now!
DEAR MEMBERS AND FRIENDS,
A rare and incredible gathering occurs in spring in the upper Sea of Cortez.
Pods of dolphins form aggregations of thousands of individuals. An amazing
variety of whale species—humpback, sperm, fin, Bryde’s, and blue whales—
come here, as well as huge schools of manta rays.
Sail the Sea of Cortez  with us, April 15-22, 2017, and explore its many islands
free from tourist infrastructure and designated a UNESCO World Heritage
site. We’ll hike islands where the shores teem with a cacophony of seabirds
and kayak into quiet grottoes with unearthly echoes. See scores of bluefooted
boobies and pelicans. Snorkel with playful sea lions and head out in
an expedition landing craft in search of dolphins. Stroll the streets of Santa
Rosalia, a historic mining town, with its wooden houses and church designed
by Gustave Eiffel.
Cruising aboard the redesigned 62-guest National Geographic Sea
Bird, you’ll find that this expedition is crafted with just the right balance of
activity and leisure time. Unlike traditional getaways, you’ll travel with a
team of expert naturalists, an undersea specialist, and a Lindblad-National
Geographic certified photo instructor to gain the deepest appreciation
of all that you’ll see. The ship is also outfitted with an array of tools for exploration —expedition landing craft, kayaks, snorkeling gear, stand-up
paddleboards, an underwater camera, and more. With a flexible itinerary,
we’re free to follow the seasonal movements of wildlife to optimize sightings.
I hope you’ll join us for this adventure that is both enriching and fun. You’ll
come away from your expedition renewed and with an appreciation of
how much a week’s time can change your perspective. To make your
reservation, please return the enclosed reservation form or call
800-252-4910.
Sincerely,
Margaret M. Betchart
