Delfin Amazon Cruises

The Delfin I and Delfin II, beautiful luxury cabin boats with polished wood interior, are an ideal way to experience the environment of the Amazon rainforest in absolute comfort. Both of these cruise from Delfin's private embarkation port in the town of Nauta, on the banks of the Amazon, into the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve. This enormous flooded rainforest reserve offers unparalleled opportunities to view the pink and grey Amazonian dolphins, and a large variety of bird species, monkeys and other rainforest mammals such as capybara or manatee.

Both Delfin boats are owned and operated by owners Lissy and Aldo Macchiavello. This owner-operated approach and Lissy’s personal touch to the service on board make the expedition on the Delfin a truly special and authentic experience. Everything on board and included in your daily outings has been hand-picked and crafted, in order to bring the Amazon experience to life.

The Delfin also has an excellent reputation for its selection of gourmet cuisine.
