Our Commitment to the Places
Where We Travel:
At Lindblad Expeditions, our belief is that a
traveler’s own individual experience can be life
changing — leading to greater understanding,
appreciation and stewardship of a place. We believe
that once someone has experienced the natural
and cultural wonders of a region, they become part
of the cycle of helping to sustain, preserve or even
repair these special areas of
our world.
