Today on board National Geographic Quest, we woke up to a pink and orange sunrise with a variety of gull species escorting us to Jackson Narrows. Expedition leader Shawn Lucas planned a day packed full of adventures! Zodiac cruises, hikes, and kayaking were available to all. As we set out into the narrows in Zodiacs, we spotted bald eagles and a few harbor seals. After lunch, guests went off for an afternoon-long bushwhack hike, a true explorer’s dream. Other guests joined naturalists for an intertidal exploration and kayaking in Rescue Bay. As night fell and cocktail hour began back on the ship, all our guests cheered at the day full of adventure.

National Geographic Quest
Victoria, British Columbia
What a stunner of a day here in Victoria once the fog lifted this morning! Clear skies and comfortable temperatures made the various excursions all the more enjoyable. From an all-day tour to Bouchard Gardens, bike rides, secret gardens, and historical walks, our guests enjoyed their day in Victoria! Walking around downtown Victoria was a feast for the eyes with the beautiful arrangements of colorful and bountiful flowers. The flowers that lined the walkways of the Empress Hotel were spectacular! Downtown Victoria and the adjacent area have 1,600 hanging baskets of flowers adorning the lamp posts. We also enjoyed the beauty our dive team discovered under the sea. They came back with some spectacular footage of what lies beneath the waves. Beautiful kelp forests, crabs, and fish galore.
