Splash out to see whales and dolphins in the wild!

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I am new to this group so I thought I would introduce myself and also

offer to support the group's members. My name is Dylan Walker and I

run an ethical whale watching business called As Nature Intended, and

I would like to offer members of this group a significant discount on

three of our best whale watching holidays in 2008. If you would like

to know more, please read on....

 

We're all wild at heart! No matter how urban or frantic our daily

lives are, we all need time to roam in wild places, encounter nature

at its best, and breathe in expansive landscapes.

 

At As Nature Intended we run guided, all-inclusive, fun wildlife

holidays that specialize in close encounters with wild whales &

dolphins. As Nature Intended keeps its impact on the planet to an

absolute minimum: eating local produce, staying in eco-friendly

accommodation, funding conservation projects, and offsetting more

carbon than it uses.

 

Travel with us and you don't have to worry about your environmental

footprint; in fact, you won't need to worry about anything on our

holidays, as you breathe in the sea air, watch leaping dolphins,

relax on secluded beaches, and soak up spa treatments in beautiful

places! As Nature Intended is offering egroup readers exclusive

discounts on three of its most popular holidays:

 

Baja California – gigantic Blue Whales and thousands of dolphins!

 

For most of the people on Planet Earth, 24th March to 4 April 2009

won't be the experience of a lifetime. For those of us that will be

in Baja California it will be! Baja, situated on Mexico's west coast,

is probably the best place to go whale-watching in the world, with

six of the largest ten whales on the planet likely to be sighted.

But, as our wives keep telling us, size isn't everything, and there

is so much more to this trip; with hundreds of dolphins, tropical

seas, amazing landscapes and the chance to pat your very own wild

Gray Whale on the head! To make the very most of this amazing

experience we have chartered our special boat, Searcher, for the

entire trip, giving us maximum flexibility to enjoy nature at its

most exhilarating.

 

23rd March – 6th April 2009

CSMA price: £2195 (£100 saving on the standard price)

Single supplement: Call us

Not included: Flights London-San Diego; two nights in local hotel;

one-way flight Cabo San Lucas-San Diego; and food pre/post cruise

(days 1, 2 & 13). It's easy to book flights and accommodation, so we

all travel together - just get in touch. Total additional cost about

£700.

 

 

Madeira - Europe's Tropical Island Paradise

 

Natural Madeira combines lush forested valleys; jagged peaks;

waterfalls; easy, tranquil levada paths; World Heritage Sites; plus

birds & plants that occur nowhere else on earth - all surrounded by a

serene ocean. What better place to go wild?

 

Staying at our cliff-top hotel (winner of 30 international

environmental awards), we'll take a sole- (and soul!)

soothing `barefoot walk' on a path made of sand, mud, warm volcanic

stones, pine cones, and eucalyptus leaves. Of course we also look for

dolphins and whales; Europe's rarest seabird; visit a desert island;

go back in time under the canopy of an ancient primeval forest; and

indulge in serious pampering with relaxing spa treatments.

 

3rd – 9th September 2008

Price: £1095 (£100 saving on the standard price) plus flight (about

£60-80). It's easy to book flights so we all travel together - just

get in touch

Single supplement: None

 

 

Pembrokeshire's `Dolphin Coast'

 

Appreciate nature to the max whilst having the minimum impact upon

it, with a short break to the unspoilt Pembrokeshire Coast National

Park. There are a variety of dolphins and seals to see in this wild

place – this is a Bottlenose Dolphin hot-spot - and there is even the

chance of encountering a whale in Wales!

 

Staying at our ground-breaking, rustic, eco-sensitive hotel, we will

enjoy organic food in picturesque, tranquil St. Davids, before taking

exhilarating dolphin-watching expeditions with ethical, carbon

neutral boat operators. And, if all that isn't enough, there'll be

time for star-gazing from secluded coves, plus relaxing at a cliff-

top spa, including massages and time in a hydro-pool and steam room.

Bliss!

 

Dates: 10th – 15th July 2008; 15th – 20th July 2008

Price: £845 (£50 saving on the standard price)
