Gentle Amazon & the Tapajós River - An Enchanting and Intimate Cruise to the Most Beautiful Beaches of the Amazon (port-to-port cruise)

Cruise

MANAUS - PARINTINS - ÓBIDOS - SANTARÉM - PONTA GRANDE - BAY OF URUCUREÁ - MAGUARI - JAMARAQUÁ - ALTER DO CHÃO - SANTARÉM

Step aboard for a unique journey along the Amazon River on the Brasilian Dream, a charming vessel offering an intimate experience for just 32 guests. This exclusive cruise invites you to explore the Amazon rainforest in rare conditions—blending refined comfort, warm ambiance, and authentic immersion. As the river unfolds, each stop reveals a lesser-known side of this fascinating region: indigenous villages, flooded forests, lush wildlife, and vibrant traditions.
The Amazon becomes gentle, almost dreamlike, as vast stretches of white sand emerge endlessly, kissed by the crystal-clear waters of the Tapajós River. These ephemeral shores, bathed in sunlight, offer a spectacular setting for observing nature. Each evening brings its own magic as the sky ignites in golden and amber hues, casting a glowing light over the forest—a living painting of breathtaking beauty.
From vibrant Manaus to the river beaches of Alter do Chão, explore the region aboard private boats, guided by passionate local experts. Along the way: meaningful encounters, nighttime rituals, walks through pristine rainforest, and up-close wildlife observation await.
This rare journey blends cultural discovery, natural beauty, and timeless moments. A deeply human and sensory experience, guided by the soothing rhythm of the Amazon.

  • This cruise is entirely dedicated to exploring protected areas of the Amazon rainforest. Life onboard is centered around discovery and wildlife observation, where the natural spectacle is ever-present. Safety instructions will be provided on site and must be strictly followed—including the prohibition of leaving the boat outside of organized excursions, as this journey takes place in the heart of the wild Amazon, where wildlife is abundant.
