National Geographic Sea Bird anchored off the island of Crow Butte this morning so guests could explore hiking trails through sagebrush steppe on foot and pay a visit to wetland habitats via our fleet of kayaks.

Opportunities for enrichment onboard abound this afternoon! Guests chose to learn about geology, cultural sustainability, and local history. As we voyaged down the Columbia River, we had ample opportunities to hear from our onboard experts- our National Geographic Explorer, Ashli Aikens, along with our Lindblad Expeditions naturalists, geologist, and historian.
