Traveler Testimonial

"I appreciate the care you took of our family. We had teenagers and a grandmother on this expedition and there was really something for everyone. We appreciate the hospitality, professionalism, and choice of activities. My teenager was especially inspired! He wants to work with you!"

Traveler Testimonial

"I have traveled with Tauck and Silversea and they were both excellent. My favorite is National Geographic and Lindblad. Fabulous naturalists, fabulous staff-so attentive and welcoming and helpful- very comfortable surroundings- expert help with all activities, fabulous food- just the most amazing experience my family and I have ever had on an educational expedition. My kids and grandkids loved it and it was a life altering experience. The entire experience was unforgettable and very special. This expedition was the best ever. We would highly recommend it. And this was my second trip to Galápagos."

Traveler Testimonial

“What makes these expeditions so special is not just the exotic locations. It’s the passion and respect that Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic has for nature, promoting stewardship by igniting that passion in their guests. It’s the attention to details—like hot drinks for the Zodiac rides in the Antarctic. From the moment you set foot on the ship you are treated like a beloved friend. Smiling faces and eager hands are there to make sure you are having a wonderful experience"
