Embark on a unique land-and-sea expedition to discover the marine wonders of Belize and the Maya ruins of Guatemala. Kayak, Zodiac cruise, and stand-up paddleboard along the shores of white-sand islands, and snorkel amid hundreds of species of fish and corals on the Belize Barrier Reef—the Northern Hemisphere's largest reef system—with the National Geographic Quest as your base for exploration. Then venture ashore to explore the UNESCO World Heritage site of Tikal to encounter thousands of ancient temples and shrines, as well as the little-visited Yaxha, situated on a ridge with a beautiful lake view.

National Geographic Quest: Designed for Adventure

Built in 2017, National Geographic Quest is ideal for the fast-moving channels and shallow coves of the Pan-American waters. Her design and engineering were informed by our nearly 40 years of experience in the narrow straits of Alaska, the coast of Costa Rica, and into the gray whale nursery lagoons of Baja. 

Examples of features unique to Lindblad Expeditions include twin boarding platforms that enable our team to load two Zodiacs at once, so our guests can get off the ship quickly to take advantage of wildlife sightings and maximize exploring time. She also features a shallow draft, allowing her Captain to navigate the inner reaches and provide more intimate experiences.

Modern, clean-lined, with large expanses of glass to take in the extraordinary views, National Geographic Quest enables guests to see, do, and experience the best of her geographies.
