Overview
Get the best out of the beauty of the Amazon rain forest by venturing on a river cruise up the Rio Negro!
On board of a regional river boat, you will cruise on the widest sweet water river in the world along more than 300 islands. With our local crew providing both typical Amazonian dishes and sunset cocktails on the upper decks, your Amazon river cruise experience is sure to be an unforgettable one!
All tours are very flexible and will be adjusted according to your individual needs and requirements. All meals will be served on board.
Our journey sets out to explore the different species of monkey, birds, water lilies and other exotic animals and vegetation. Once darkness approaches following a beautiful Amazonian sunset, we will tie the boat up alongside the river to spend the night. Early morning, you will hear birds flying over the jungle chirping and many other exciting jungle sounds. If it does not happen to be raining, you will enjoy an incredible sunrise before having breakfast served on board.
