Discover the natural treasures of one of Costa Rica’s most stunning and diverse regions, Guanacaste, on a six-day voyage. Climb aboard your base for exploration, the 100-guest National Geographic Quest, and sail along the pristine coastline to take in this region’s immensely rich biodiversity. Disembark every day for new adventures. Hike and zipline amid mist-shrouded volcanic peaks in Rincón de la Vieja National Park. The park’s 32 rivers are teeming with a variety of wildlife species, from monkeys to macaws, that aren’t shy to visitors. You're sure to capture incredible photos, especially with assistance from our Lindblad Expeditions – National Geographic certified photo instructor.

Bask in the pura vida that Costa Rica has to offer as we venture from the lush jungles to breathtaking beaches. Snorkel and kayak among a multicolored galaxy of tropical fish and palm-lined beaches in the Guanacaste Conservation Area and paddle board through crystalline waters. When you’re ready to relax, join us for an afternoon enjoying Isla Tortuga’s palm-shaded beaches.
