Our adventure brought us to Corcovado National Park, where National Geographic Quest anchored for the afternoon. Guests explored a nearby waterfall or a parallel trail on the beach. We observed monkeys and several bird species while hiking. The highlight of the day was a pair of mountain lions encountered in the middle of Río Pargo trail. What a way to start our expedition, our adventure and of course, a new year.

Coiba Island National Park
Today, National Geographic Quest explored Coiba Island National Park. In the morning, we divided our guests into two groups to maximize the experience. One group visited Coco Islet for a memorable snorkeling adventure, where they encountered a variety of vibrant fish and a whitetip reef shark. The second group headed to the ranger station, enjoying a relaxing time swimming and kayaking in the pristine waters. After a fulfilling morning, we returned to the ship and began our navigation toward the Panama Canal. In the afternoon, guests gathered on the weather decks to observe marine wildlife. Several birds, dolphins, sea snakes, and turtles were spotted, adding to the excitement of the day. The calm seas and clear skies made for perfect wildlife watching conditions as we continued our journey. It was an exciting and enriching day filled with incredible encounters with nature.
