Come explore
the Amazon by taking a boat safari into the Anavilhanas Archipelago,
to the unique ecosystems of the Rio Negro. This
great tributary of the Amazon River flows north of Manaus and is characterized
by its dark, acidic water, where few insects can breed. This leaves
the environment almost mosquito-free!It also accounts for flora that
differs from the rest of the jungle areas around Manaus.
The Amazon expedition cruise vessel M/Y Otter Premium operates with small groups (max. 18), trained naturalist guides, and thoughtful itineraries on the Rio Negro, to offer a genuine, thrilling experience with the REAL Amazon rainforest.She is a big boat, over 88 feet long and there is plenty of space to spread out, study the forest nearby, and contemplate the wonders of nature.The decks in the cabins and Salon are a deep brown natural finished wood that is kept highly polished. All of the nine air-conditioned cabins are comfortable with walls of solid wood, raised, highly-polished paneling. Most cabins have twin beds but a few have upper and lower beds. Each cabin has a private bath with a shower, toilet, and a sink, and plenty of hot water for pressurized showers.
