Our morning aboard National Geographic Sea Bird began slowly, which was a welcomed chance to relax after yesterday’s adventures of wine and history in Walla Walla, Washington. Breakfast was followed by a presentation on the last 1,000 miles of the Oregon Trail, and guests also had the chance to indulge in a massage or facial from our fabulous Wellness Specialist Allison Dickey.
In the afternoon, guests enjoyed a wonderful Zodiac cruise up the Palouse River, witnessing beaver dams, belted kingfishers, and the incredible columnar basalt formations along the riverfront. Guests also had the incredible experience of driving through a sagebrush steppe ecosystem towards a lookout of Palouse Falls.
The evening was rounded out with a delicious dinner followed by a wine tasting and presentation by our onboard wine specialist, Kristine Bono.
