2023 Plant-Based Cruise to the Galapagos Islands
2023 Plant-Based Cruise to the Galapagos Islands

Date: Feb 17, 2023 to Feb 26, 2023

The NHA is excited to announce that we will be hosting another plant-based group cruise — This time to the Galapagos Islands on February 17-26, 2023 with Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic.

The chefs will prepare custom whole-food, plant-based meals without added salt, oil, or sugar for our group. 

In Galapagos: Expect the unexpected! Surrounded by wildlife on land and sea, you never know what might happen. Blue-footed boobies nesting on the hiking trails, staring quizzically as you walk past. Mockingbirds landing on camera lenses and peering at their reflections. Sea lions popping off rocks as you hop out of your Zodiac, eager to look at you or swim with you. Choose how you want to explore, hike, paddleboard, kayak, snorkel, and more. Take a long hike or just relax on the beach.
 
Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic’s generous staff-to-guest ratio means you can always find a naturalist whose interests and approach you share, whether you want to focus on birding, human history, photography, the undersea, or more. Snorkel in waters incredibly rich in marine life, kayak, stand-up paddleboard, or take a glass-bottom boat for personal water-level exploration of the scenic coastlines.  
 
Since the first international tourist expedition cruise to the Galapagos Islands in July 1967, Lindblad Expeditions has introduced generations of guests to these strange and wonderful islands, the world’s first UNESCO World Heritage site. Lindblad Expeditions is winner of the 2021 USA TODAY 10 Best Readers’ Choice Travel Award: Best Adventure Cruise Lines.
