PANTANAL BOAT TOURS & RIVER CRUISES

 
BIRDING, NATURE WILDLIFE ECO TOURS
 
EXCLUSIVE, CUSTOMIZED TOURS FOR COUPLES, FAMILIES AND SMAL GROUPS
Discover the Pantanal wetlands
onboard our wildlife river cruises


On our river cruises through the Pantanal you will travel through the region using its natural and traditional routes. Our river cruises are expeditions that allow you to really discover the Pantanal intimately whilst enjoying a bit of comfort en route. These river tours are active trips with early morning, evening and nocturnal wildlife spotting expeditions as well as land and horse safaris taken from the various fazendas en route. However in the heat of the day you will be able to relax on deck with the river breeze whilst watching the beautiful scenery pass by, observing the constant activity of the rich birdlife around the rivers and the animals basking in the sun along the river banks. Later in the day you can try your hand at catching your dinner before setting out for a glimpse of the more elusive mammals who visit the waterways by night. Our river cruises take us away from the large rivers and their river traffic to remote lakes and lagoons and we will use our smaller boats to investigate the many tributaries we come across to learn more about the ecosystems that depend on these constantly fluctuating waters. Our river boats are fully equipped with air conditioned cabins, shared bathrooms, a kitchen and radios that allow us to leave behind the busy lodges, roads, dust and other groups to really get into the wilderness that is the Pantanal.
