Before breakfast this morning, National Geographic Venture crossed "the bar," the shallow terminal moraine at the entrance of Tracy Arm. Farther up the fjord, bergy bits and growlers became much more numerous. When the ice became too thick for our ship to navigate safely, we boarded Zodiacs to cruise among the myriad of beautiful pieces of floating ice. In the afternoon, we stretched our legs in the forest at Williams Cove.

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.
