Iara

At 17.28 meters long, Iara is a petite boat that can host up to four guests in two cabins. Because Iara is exclusively available for private charters, your time aboard will be personalized to your desires.

Life Aboard The Iara

When you arrive in Manaus to embark the Iara, you will find a well-appointed boat complete with everything you need for a comfortable and safe tour of the Amazon.

Start your stay with a stop in the lower deck’s bar and kitchen to sip Brazil’s national cocktail. The Caïpirinha is made by muddling cachaça, sugar with fresh limes, and is perfect for toasting the start of your holiday. Then, take your drink to the upper deck’s observation deck to relax in a lounge chair as the boat begins its gentle journey down the Amazon. At the end of the day, retire to your air-conditioned cabin for a restful night’s sleep.

Create Your Own Excursions From The Iara

Since you will be cruising solely with your private group, you will have the opportunity to customize your itinerary to include the experiences you crave. At the start of your journey, will you be able to see the ‘Meeting of the Waters’ phenomenon where the Solimões and Negro Rivers collide. The tan water of the Solimões and the black water of the Negro merge into one body of water, but the hues stay separate without blending into each other.

You may also visit the indigenous communities of Tarrino, Dessano, and Tuiuca for cultural presentations. Then, take a guided nighttime walk through the forest to see the local wildlife’s nocturnal habits. Manaus is also the ideal embarkation spot to visit Janauari Ecological Park. You will be able to explore the area via a motorized canoe and see the famous Amazonian Water Lily. Another popular option is a swim with the pink Amazonian dolphins that make their home in the Acajatuba River.

You will also be able to sail through the Anavilhanas Archipelago and hike through the jungle in search of rare birds, such as the Wire-tailed Manakins. You may also enjoy a motorized canoe ride up the Aturiá River before tucking into an al-fresco lunch on the riverbank. Whichever activities you choose, a bilingual naturalist guide, who speaks both English and Portuguese, will lead all of the excursions and provide expert information on the area, wildlife and flora.

Create Your Own Schedule

With a private charter aboard the Iara Brazil, you can create your own schedule. Organize a ten-day stay for a stand-alone holiday or come aboard for just three days to combine your Iara cruise with visits to other areas of Brazil.

Whether you are a small family or a couple in love, Iara can be your home for your cruise through the Amazon. Pricing is based on the cruise’s length and the number of people, which allows you to find the ideal combination for your holiday.
