About Anakonda Amazon Cruise

A gleaming river boat that navigates the wild & ethereal waters of the Amazon.
Ecuador is home to just 2% of the Amazon, but this sliver of jungle is one of the most biodiverse destinations on the planet. Could there be a better way to explore its iconic tributaries than on a high-end river boat? We think not! Step aboard the Anakonda for a three- or seven-night trip down the emerald-lined waterways, where unique aquatic creatures and iridescent birds are your constant companion. Moving at a calm and peaceful 12 knots, the three-storey river boat has ample space for reclining as you take in the fabled scenery. And, when you're ready to dig a little deeper, there are motorized canoes at the ready.

Property details

The property

The Anakonda's design is seamless and slick with wall-to-wall windows to embrace the view from every corner. When you're not exploring, enjoy a new read in the lounge, grab a cocktail at the bar, and get an insider's look at the Amazonian wildlife as presented by the guides. The sundeck is ideal for watching the world go by, especially from the hot tub. The restaurant serves a varied menu of international dishes and local favourites - don't miss the traditional Amazon barbecue.

The rooms

The Anakonda features 14 standard suites and 4 deluxe suites, each with expansive windows to take in the view from bed. The cabins are uncluttered, with a large bed clad in earthy textiles, a small sitting room and en-suite bathroom. The deluxe suites enoy a private balcony, where you can have a cuppa in the morning as the sun wakes up the Amazon. They also feature a whirlpool bathtub, which is quite welcome after a day of hiking and kayaking.

Activities

This is the Amazon, so adventure is everywhere. On any given day, you could canoe across a lagoon - eyes peeled for piranhas and caimans - row past the lively clay licks where parrots snack and look for a mate, and visit the watery home of dazzling pink dolphins. Get the chance to meet members of the Kichwa Women's Community Project and learn all about their charapas turtle conservation work. On board, there are cooking lessons and stargazing on the clearest nights.
