The Amazon Clipper Premium is the most comfortable way to venture into the lush Amazon, as it was designed exclusively to cruise this great river. The boat features a restaurant, lecture room, entertainment deck, bar, gift shop and sundeck with panoramic view. The 16 cabins have private bathrooms with warm water and air conditioning.
Day 01 Monday: Departure (B)
The boat departs from the Tropical Experience Hotel at 2:30 pm. Please get there with plenty of time ahead! Once on board, you’ll be introduced to the staff and to your room. You’ll navigate towards the “Meeting of the waters”. Afterwards, continue towards Curari, where you’ll take a canoe ride in the smaller creeks. Here you’ll see flood plain forests and lakes with giant water lilies (in season). After sunset, you’ll be able to see some of the night fauna such as caimans. Then, you’ll return to the boat for dinner.
Day 02 Tuesday : Amazon (B)
Early in the morning you’ll take a canoe trip, where you’ll probably be able to see many aquatic bird species such as egrets and cormorants, as well as the unique Hoatzins. You’ll visit the lake inhabitants, who live from fishing and products such as rubber, Brazil nut trees and wood. Then, you’ll hike through the forest with a specialist in the area. After lunch, you’ll continue navigating and will have the opportunity to fish for piranhas and other types of fish. At night, you’ll take another trip and you’ll hopefully see more nocturnal animals.
Day 03 Wednesday: Manaus (B)
In the morning you’ll do some more bird watching in Janauary Ecological Park or in the nearby waters. After breakfast, you’ll return to the dock at the Tropical Experience Hotel at around 11:30 am.
