Amazon EcoBoat

An elegant and eco-friendly boutique houseboat designed for private and immersive Amazon escapes.

Overview

The Amazon EcoBoat offers travelers a unique experience along the Rio Negro in Brazil. Blending tradition, elegance and conservation, this private 4 person riverboat is ideal for your next family trip having both a larger panoramic double cabin for couples and smaller bunk cabin ideal for children (for those traveling in a larger group you may like to consider her equally elegant sister ship the Amazon Odyssey).

Explore the magnificent Amazon Rainforest up close, from both the panoramic views on deck and through the thrilling excursions, planned and personalized to meet your vacation dreams.

A Boat Just For You

Custom-built to explore the Brazilian Amazon, EcoBoat is a charming traditional riverboat that has been redesigned and elegantly decorated by a Parisian interior designer. A private stay on board will be as comfortable as it is memorable, with three charming bedrooms, including a luxurious double bedroom with unbelievable panoramic views of your voyage down the Rio Negro, the Amazon Rainforest’s most impressive avenue.

You and your guests can revel in the views of the Amazonian landscape from the top deck of this elegant riverboat. An open-air lounge and dining area with 360° vistas is the perfect place to while away the hours with family (or friends). The Amazon EcoBoat has an experienced local crew who will introduce you to some delectable Amazonian cuisine with a mouth-watering daily menu using the best local produce.

Authentic Excursions & Adventures

When you’re not luxuriating in the comfort of your own private Amazonian boat, the experienced crew will guide you through the most life-enriching encounters you can get during your rainforest adventure. There are many options to customize your itinerary to suit the interests of your group and the versatile launch boat adds comfort to every wild exploration.

A firm favourite activity is a full-day Amazon fishing excursion with a professional guide. Available throughout the year, you can catch species that only exist in the Amazon basin, from piranha to tucunaré, and can try out a variety of different casting techniques. All fishing trips are “catch and release” to help sustain the rare fish species of the Rio Negro and Solimões rivers.

There’s also plenty of opportunities to head for dry land and let even more of the unforgettable Amazon reveal its charms. Spend some time in the jungle communities along the river for real insight into the culture, kindness and daily life of the local people. Or search for unique flora and fauna on a wildlife walk with your eagle-eyed guides who knows all the secret beauties of the
region.

Travel With Purpose

On the Amazon Ecoboat, comfort and adventure ally themselves to offer you privacy while showing total respect for the ecosystem. This beautiful river cruise boat has been purposefully designed with sustainable, low-impact travel in mind. It is equipped with full solar power, a water treatment system, and fuel-efficient engines that comply with strict international environmental standards.

The charming and intelligent layout of the boat makes it possible to be up-close and personal with the astonishing flora and fauna of the Amazon river and rainforest, giving you a constant reminder of the importance of preserving this unique landscape.

Itineraries & Prices

All itineraries are subject to change due to seasonal weather conditions (and resultant variations in river and tributary water levels) affecting accessibility to locations. Thus navigation routes, times and excursions may need to be modified at the cruise captain’s or your guide's discretion.

Robinson’s Jungle Adventure

AM/PM: The second day is a journey of immersion in nature, with the Robinson’s Jungle Adventure activity as the highlight (weather and water level permitting). Between mysteries and discoveries, we present 2 ephemeral experiences that invite you to explore the jungle in perfect harmony.

Option 1: Guided by experts, participants embark on an enchanting hike that reveals the jungle's best-kept secrets. Between stories and discoveries, they learn to recognize plants that nourish and heal, in addition to trying traditional fishing, in a return to the roots of the natural world. Each element found turns into ingredients for a wild and memorable dinner.

At nightfall, dinner, the fruit of the day's harvest and fishing, is served outdoors, a true gift from the forest. At dawn, a simple and delicious breakfast welcomes the first rays of sunlight, bringing energy to continue the journey.

Option 2: The journey begins with a guided walk, unraveling the mysteries of the forest while learning the art of survival: lighting fires, building shelters, setting traps. Each step takes you deeper into the primitive and fascinating essence of the Amazon.

Dinner, prepared with local flavors, is served under the giant trees. Dawn brings a simple but energizing breakfast, celebrating the new day and preparing the group to return to the boat and continue their journey.

Otherwise, an alternative activity will be carefully prepared to ensure the experience of connecting with nature.

Sailing to a secluded area of the forest, travelers young and old will have the opportunity to experience the Amazon in its purest form.
