Manatee Amazon Explorer

The Manatee Amazon Explorer allows our guests to experience unparalleled adventures in total comfort. Journey with us down freshwater rivers, both whitewater and black water, and encounter different Amazonian ecosystems including the possibility to observe fascinating animals such as pink river dolphins, manatees, caimans, and piranhas, as well as hundreds of native bird and primate species.

These amazing adventures are possible on board our exclusive vessel featuring: 10 Standard Cabins, which offer air conditioning, balconies, ceiling-to-floor windows, and private bathrooms with hot water. Our 4 Deluxe Cabins come complete with all of the above, plus private balconies and private whirlpool bathtubs with a scenic view!

The Ecuadorian Amazon basin is a special place, teeming with natural life and adventure at every turn. There is no telling what you will see or experience, and the unexpected is most certainly one of its treasures. Of course, there are constants as well. The Amazon is located in the lowland equatorial tropics. This is a humid environment. Excursions on land usually take place in the mornings and afternoons, as the temperature rises at midday when we will usually be on board the Manatee Amazon Explorer. The weather is relatively constant throughout the year (we’re on the equator, so there are no strongly demarcated seasons).
