Aboard the National Geographic Venture
California Coast

Our morning aboard National Geographic Venture began with a wonderful stretch class led by our onboard wellness specialist, Sabina. Following breakfast, guests embarked on hikes on Santa Rosa Island, ranging from casual meanders in search of birds, to a 8 mile hike where guests witnessed the endemic Torrey pine and Santa Rosa island fox.

In the afternoon, guests embarked on Zodiacs to cruise around Santa Rosa, observing hundreds of seabirds while learning about kelp forests and the fascinating history behind the island.
