National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions announced a new Central America itinerary and 2028-2029 departure dates, plus updated two popular itineraries to add flexibility and a more immersive experience.
*NEW* Epic Costa Rica and Panama
This 15-day itinerary takes guests to tropical forests, volcanic highlands, and remote Pacific islands, spanning the Panama Canal and the coasts of Panama and Costa Rica. Guests will cruise wildlife-rich waterways by Zodiac, paddle into sheltered bays, snorkel in the rich waters of Coiba National Park, search for monkeys and tropical birds on the Osa Peninsula, and hike among the geothermal wonders of Rincón de la Vieja.
Throughout the journey, expert naturalists share details of the wildlife and ecosystems guests encounter. Guests will also visit with local families to learn about artistic traditions and conservation efforts.
*UPDATED* Exploring Costa Rica: Guanacaste, Santa Rosa and Rincon de la Vieja
Guanacaste unfolds from the volcanic highlands of northern Costa Rica to a rugged Pacific coast, where guests could see monkeys, iguanas, and colorful birdlife. New for the 2028-2029 season, choose from six- and eight-day itineraries that reveal this remote region from its forested interior to its secluded bays and rocky shores.
Guests will hike in Rincón de la Vieja National Park, explore protected waters by Zodiac and kayak, and venture into habitats shaped by ancient volcanic forces. Along the way, they’ll discover the distinctive character of a province rooted in ranching traditions and warm hospitality.
*UPDATED* The Panama Canal, Pearl Islands and Darien Jungle
This is the only Central American expedition that travels solely through Panama. Aboard the National Geographic Quest, guests will transit the historic Panama Canal by day and night. They will learn about the country’s indigenous and colonial history while visiting local communities and two UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Plus, guests encounter monkeys, iguanas, tropical birds, and more as they venture into rainforests, a wildlife refuge, and an important national park. They will snorkel in turquoise waters among coral reefs that shelter an array of colorful marine life.
