A lovely ride to work this morning along Dallas Road before meeting my 90 guests from the Lindblad/National Geographic Venture that are in Victoria for the day. (If you zoom in you will see the small expedition ship. That’s the ship my guests are on.) 😉

Starting on August 1, 2024, dogs entering or returning to the United States must meet new, specific requirements depending on where they have been in the 6 months before entering the U.S. and where they received their rabies vaccines (if required).

Another picture perfect day to host the Lindblad/National Geographic Quest, sister ship to the Venture that was here last week. The 63 guest’s onboard experienced Victoria in all its grandeur, wrapping up with a private reception at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. And what’s a reception without an amazing culinary experience. Enter House of Boateng, the culinary maestro who always creates tantalizing canapés with every bite being a symphony of flavors. Fabulous day!

A great kick-off to the season with Lindblad/National Geographic expeditions. Their first ship of (our) season sailed into Victoria yesterday with 69 guests aboard. They had a fun filled day of adventure and cultural immersion, wrapping it up with a fabulous reception at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.

Beauty is all around us, and Vancouver Island boasts an abundance of such treasures. It is globally recognized as one of the most stunning islands on our planet. Coming for a visit! We’d be happy to help you plan your unforgettable itinerary.

Did you know Thunderbird Park is more than 80 years old?

Originally established in 1941, a restoration program was initiated in 1952 with Kwakwaka‘wakw master carver Mungo Martin as chief carver for Thunderbird Park.

Today, it’s a place where locals and tourists pause to take in the impressive carvings.
