National Geographic Sea Bird and National Geographic Sea Lion are equipped with five Zodiacs, 20 kayaks (single and tandem), and six stand-up paddleboards. National Geographic Quest and National Geographic Venture are equipped with eight Zodiacs, 24 kayaks (single and tandem), and eight stand-up paddleboards. All ships are stocked with enough equipment for everyone to get out and explore with a naturalist, travel companion, or solo in search of more personal discoveries. Zodiacs, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards give our guests the opportunity for personal, “eye-level” encounters with beauty and wildness in all the pristine places we explore. Weather permitting, we hope to get you out and exploring nearly every day of the voyage.
