Our superb team is the key to your experience
The team composition
Every expedition sails with a veteran expedition leader and a team comprised of eight naturalists and historians with a variety of specialties: geology, biology, archaeology, anthropology, maritime history, and more. Other members of the 15-person team include an undersea specialist, a National Geographic photographer, plus a Lindblad-National Geographic certified photo instructor, a video chronicler, and a wellness specialist. Together, our Canada travel guides provide you with a greater understanding and appreciation for this exceptional place.
More specialties and personalities
Our better than one-to-ten staff-to-guest ratio ensures you the benefits of diverse backgrounds, and the freedom to head out on activities with the naturalist whose interests mirror your own. You are never assigned to a specific group, and our team can custom-tailor activities to match your activity level—to make each day of your expedition uniquely yours, and deeply rewarding.
Naturalist
Berit grew up on the rocky shores of Marblehead, Massachusetts. In the tidal cove behind her family’s home she found horseshoe crabs, eels, and feeding frenzies of fishes and birds. Low tides exposed clam flats, crabs, mussels, and snails. She explored this marine environment through changing tides and seasons, nurturing a love of natural history and marine biology.
