PRIVATE CRUISES – Amazon Clipper Cruises

Private Cruise

Plan your own expedition according to the interests of your company, travel agency, friends, or family. We design customized itineraries that offer unique experiences tailored to each group. We provide extensive knowledge of activities in the Amazon and throughout Brazil, with a strong focus on nature and local culture. Our experiences promote responsible tourism and meaningful connections with the environment and communities, ensuring authentic and memorable journeys.

Planning comfortable and luxury cruises on the Amazon, including a bright offer in activities and side trips, is our main business. Being the pioneer in Amazon boat cruises gives us a unique knowledge in logistics all around the Amazon. Concentrated to the most preserved and less accessible areas, using comfortable boats, float planes or by indigenous made canoes with paddle, to offer you a life time experience.

You chose the comfort on board; we offer all cruises in two categories of comfort with distinctly Amazonian boats. The Traditional fleet contains several boats with basic comfort and facilities, for those who wish the comfort of a luxury ship, we built the Premium, a vessel unique in style that offers “simply the best” small-ship cruising in the Amazon.

Indigenous Ritual

You are warmly invited to experience a sacred Indigenous ritual and ceremony of the Tukano people, guardians of ancestral knowledge from the Upper Negro River. This gathering is a moment of connection with nature, spirituality, and ancient wisdom passed down through generations. Guided by Tukano elders, the ceremony offers a space for respect, learning, and cultural exchange, honoring traditions that continue to live through song, prayer, and ritual. Guests and visitors are welcome to join with an open heart and a respectful presence, to listen, observe, and share in the spirit of harmony that unites community, land, and ancestry. Come walk gently with us, and experience the living culture of the Tukano people.

Survival Training in the Jungle

Surviving in the Amazonian jungle is a fantastic experience that feels like stepping into a living, breathing world of mystery and strength. From the first moment beneath the towering canopy, everything seems alive—the air hums with insects, distant bird calls echo through the trees, and the river moves like a silent guide through the green maze.

What makes the experience truly fantastic is the sense of harmony that slowly emerges. Survival is no longer about fighting the jungle, but about listening to it. The Amazon reveals its beauty in quiet moments: morning mist rises from the ground, sunlight filters through emerald leaves, and a feeling of belonging settles in, connecting you to something ancient and powerful. Leaving the jungle means carrying its lessons forever—strength, humility, and a profound respect for life in its wildest form.

Interaction with Pink River Dolphins

Swimming with pink river dolphins is one of the most magical and unforgettable experiences the Amazon has to offer. Found primarily near Manaus, Brazil — especially along the Rio Negro — these extraordinary creatures live freely in expansive rivers, lakes, small streams and even in flooded forests. Encountering them in their natural habitat is not only a privilege, but also a reminder of the importance of responsible and ethical tourism.

For travelers seeking one of the most exciting and meaningful experiences in the Amazon, swimming with pink river dolphins is truly unforgettable. When done ethically, it allows you to appreciate their splendor, connect with Amazonian nature, and support conservation efforts that help protect these extraordinary animals for generations to come.

Parintins Festival

Parintins boi-bumba festival is one of the most amazing folkloric celebrations on earth, a mixture of African originated folklore and Amazon Indigenous rituals. A spectacle full of fantasy and colours, dance and rhythm but the protagonists are two oxen, Garantido and Caprichoso, disputing the high value image to be the winner of the Parintins folkloric festival.

The Bumbódromo, a large arena always crowded with more than 36’000 enthusiastic spectators, seemed every night to explode due to their dance choreography and vibrancy music, surrounded by thunderous fireworks.

The sumptuousness of this celebration has gained national and international attention the past few years.

Parintins Boi Bumba Festival is a world full of magic, bright colors, music, dance and folklore - a feast for the senses.

Amazon Clipper Premium - your five star hotel in Parintins with warm and genuine hospitality.
