Iquitos Amazon Tours in Peru

Amazing cruise. Enjoyed the wild nature, I saw pink river dolphins, sloths (including a mother and baby!), caimans, anacondas, monkeys, and countless beautiful birds. We also had fun activities, like fishing, swimming in the amazon river, canoeing, visiting to the local village and fun breakfast / drinks on the skiff! But what made this trip truly special was the people. There were also many moments when the crew went above and beyond in small ways — helping with special food requests, accommodating unexpected situations, and simply remembering little things. I also appreciated how flexible and human the service felt. The entire crew member genuinely wanted guests to have a good experience. They even celebrated mid-autumn festival for me & other fellow asian passengers by making mooncake for us! They truly researched the recipe!! The Amazon gave me extraordinary wildlife and scenery, but this cruise gave me days full of human connection, kindness, laughter, and little acts of generosity. Thank you to the entire team for making this journey so memorable. Special shout out to my amazing guides: Juan, Roland, Neycer, Raul who made my experience in the wild so incredible and to Ivana & Shadia - the amazing manager ladies on the board

Our trip was beyond all expectations. The crew was remarkable: helpful, knowledgeable, fun to be with, they became a part of our family and we loved all of them. I’ve traveled a lot and this was tops.

Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience aboard Aria Amazon. While it wasn't our favorite expedition cruise we've ever taken, it was a memorable way to experience one of the world's most fascinating ecosystems. Our trip got off to a bit of a rough start. The arrival and guest greeting process felt somewhat disorganized and lacked the warm, polished welcome we'd expected from a luxury cruise. Fortunately, once we settled in, the crew found their stride, and the service throughout the rest of the voyage was attentive, friendly, and professional. The guides were knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about the Amazon. Their ability to spot wildlife that most of us would have completely missed was remarkable, and we learned a tremendous amount about the region's plants, animals, and culture. The skiff excursions were well organized and gave us opportunities to see monkeys, birds, sloths, dolphins, and countless other species. The ship itself is beautiful, with comfortable cabins, inviting common areas, and excellent food throughout the cruise. The staff worked hard to ensure everyone was comfortable, and by the end of the trip, we truly appreciated their hospitality. That said, we discovered that an Amazon river cruise simply isn't our favorite style of travel. While the rainforest is undeniably impressive, many of the daily excursions have a similar rhythm, and after several days they began to feel somewhat repetitive. That's more a reflection of our personal travel preferences than anything Aria Amazon did wrong. If experiencing the Amazon is on your bucket list, Aria Amazon is an excellent choice. The ship is luxurious, the guides are outstanding, and the crew delivers a very high-quality experience. We're glad we did it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to travelers looking for a comfortable, immersive introduction to one of the world's most remarkable natural environments.

I had an amazing Amazon cruise—everything was perfect! The food was delicious, the jungle exploration was unforgettable, and we saw incredible wildlife. The crew was friendly, responsive, and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this unique experience!

I recently returned from an unforgettable trip with Delfin Amazon Cruises. From start to finish, the crew was absolutely lovely. They were attentive and genuinely committed to making every moment special. The food onboard was delicious, with every meal thoughtfully prepared and full of fresh, local flavors. Dining on the river felt like such a treat. But the highlight of the trip was the wildlife. I was surrounded by an incredible variety of birds, and seeing the pink river dolphins in their natural habitat was magical. Those moments will stay with me forever. If you’re considering an Amazon adventure, I wholeheartedly recommend Delfin. It was everything I hoped for and more.

My wife and I (Mid 50s – English speaking from USA) took a 4 night cruise in August from Iquitos. The ship is beautiful and the Amazon is amazing to visit. What set our time apart from other experiences, however, was the staff. From the moment we arrived at the Iquitos airport they took care of every detail without us ever having to ask. We had a lovely lunch on the water in Iquitos before traveling to meet the ship in Nauta. During the bus ride to get to the boat and then whenever on daily excursions on their skiff boats they were always offering cold towels from a cooler, drinks, binoculars to borrow, or anything else you might think of needing. Lunch from the skiff boats one day was a fabulous experience. When arriving back to the ship from an excursion we were each day greeted by staff with a tasty concoction to cool us down. Our cabin was cleaned multiple times a day. Excursions were excellent and we found them all to be quite genuine. You can’t fake fishing for piranhas (catch and release) which was fun (and successful), dolphins (gray and pink) jumping from the river, or sloths at the treetops. We also sighted many types of birds, caiman, and monkeys. They tried hard to locate an anaconda, but we didn’t find one. The guides (Aldo, Vladamir, Neycer, and Juan Luis) were the absolute best and made the trip all the more special with their knowledge, professionalism, safety, and friendliness. Robinson, Allen, and the rest of the wait staff provided top level service in the dining room with a prepared menu, but always offering options if you were not satisfied with the planned menu. Guest to staff ratio appeared to be about 1.5/1.0 allowing for an extreme level of attention. Ivanna, the cruise director, was always around making sure everything ran perfectly smooth even going into the kitchen to lend a hand to the rest of the staff as needed (as any top-notch leader would do). Not an inexpensive adventure, but worth every penny for an experience of a lifetime. Book it!

Our first cruise- we booked the excursion down the Amazon river leaving from Iquitos. It was spectacular. We are not normally cruise people, but I do believe this is the best way to have a condensed, luxury experience on Amazon. There were 27 passengers on our boat. The staff were the utmost professionals. The daily programs were varied and exciting, including daily boat trips to observe various parts of the Amazon river wildlife. There was also fishing for piranhas and a jungle trek, which was awesome. I am a treadmill runner and used the gym facilities on the boat every day. The meals were fantastic. We had daily massages, which were also excellent.

We had high expectations for this cruise and honestly, it exceeded them! From getting off the plane, they had everything planned and well thought through. Their staff are some of the most knowledgeable, helpful and kind people. The numerous daily excursions were so much fun and we couldn't have asked for anything more. The food was delicious and the rooms were beautiful, especially with the big glass windows. When you're chilling in the room but getting to watch the Amazon River/Rainforest, it's pretty amazing. We got to see Pink Dolphins, Sloths, Anaconda, many beautiful birds, Caymans, Iguanas and more. It's expensive but you do get your money's worth. Well done, keep it up. My wife and I had the best time!

My husband and I were incredibly impressed by the level of service, professionalism and warmth shown by the entire staff on the ship. Our cabin was absolutely beautiful, the food was wonderful and had an impressive emphasis on local resources and cuisine, and our guides were intelligent, kind and shared a genuine love of nature and the Amazon. We truly could not have asked for a better four days! We travel extensively and the quality of the service was truly something special. We highly recommend including this cruise on your Peru itinerary!

Our experience was fantastic. Our cruise on the Aria Amazon boat was truly an adventure. All the naturalist guides, staff, food and cabin were amazing.
