This morning, we cruised into the protected and awe-inspiring waters of Desolation Sound Marine Provincial Park. This protected marine park is home to immense coastal mountains, a plethora of marine life, and a number of coves for exploring. In the afternoon, we did exactly that as we poked and prodded our way through this boreal rainforest. Others cruised by Zodiac looking for wildlife along the shore and in the water, and the dive team even splashed in to observe the subtidal splendor of this area.

Victoria is one of Canada’s gem cities, known for its vibrant gardens and friendly people. Today was no exception, as we experienced the pure beauty of this wonderful city.

It was a full day of splendid Canadian hospitality. Our adventure continues, as we head north towards Alaska.

National Geographic Quest
Friday Harbor and Cypress Island
National Geographic Quest returned to U.S. waters early on the final full day of our expedition. We landed in Friday Harbor, cleared customs, and began adventuring on shore. Some guests visited American Camp, while others strolled through town and visited the Whale Museum. After lunch, the ship repositioned to Cypress Island, where we hiked around and enjoyed glorious weather. After some sentimental goodbyes from our Captain and expedition leader, we witnessed the world premiere of our slideshow, put together by Nathan.
