Manatee River Explorer, Amazon River Cruise, Ecuador

With more than 20 years of experience, the Manatee River Explorer has been designed to navigate the Amazon in comfort and style. This riverboat travels through Yasuni National Park, the largest protected wildlife reserve in Ecuador. A sister ship to the Anakonda, it has a shallow draught that allows access to remote stretches of the Napo River. With motorised canoes and kayaks on board, you can explore tributaries and peaceful lagoons. Itineraries of four, five or eight days are led by expert naturalist guides and include visits to local communities, guided night walks and time at an observation tower in the rainforest canopy.

The Manatee River Explorer offers excellent facilities including a dining room, bar, lounge and an observation deck with a Jacuzzi for relaxing between excursions. The 14 cabins each feature large windows, private balconies and en suite bathrooms.
