The state-of-the-art National Geographic Quest was designed to navigate narrow waterways and puts you right at eye level with the ingenious lock system that’s dramatically lit up on your nighttime transit. Your intimate vessel is so close to the action that you’ll hear the workers talking amongst themselves as you draw near. Then, embark on a truly exclusive experience aboard a Zodiac to visit Barro Colorado Nature Monument in Gatún Lake, and follow in the footsteps of local guides through forests teeming with wildlife.


This journey connects human-engineered systems with the wilds of Costa Rica and Panama. Your excursions are effortless as you’re accompanied by naturalists, biologists, photographers, and other insightful experts. Venture into an eco-paradise as you snorkel among pristine reefs around Isla Coiba and hike toward cool waterfalls in the Oso Peninsula, searching for monkeys and sloths along the way. Paddleboard and kayak around remote islands, and explore cultural sites that tell the stories of past and present in Central America.


Set your sights on the Panama Canal and let Lindblad Expeditions–National Geographic reveal even more unexpected discoveries on your voyage.
