        Aqua Nera - Floating 4- Star Hotel
        I did not go on the Aqua Aria but on their sister ship, the Aqua Nera for a 8 day / 7 night excursion. From my arrival at Iquitos airport to sending me off on the last day of my adventure, I was pampered and extremely well looked after. My accommodation was luxurious, and extremely comfortable. The same can be said of the lounge, bar and dining area In terms of experience, it was out of this world. A great thank you to the crew of the Aqua Nera and especially Ivanna, our cruise director. Certainly a trip that one should not miss.

        A fantastic bucket list trip!
        We just took a 3 night cruise on the Delfin 3. It was fantastic. Our room was spacious and beautiful. The staff was super professional and all the tours were first class. We even had several pre-dinner presentations that were interesting. My wife and I travel a lot but have only taken “small boat” cruises which we love. The vibe is great, really just like a floating 5 star hotel. I do have to say, I was not extremely impressed with the food. It was “good” definitely not great. But to show how much I loved the trip it’s still a 5!!!

        Amazing 4 days on the Amazon
        The four days I spent aboard the Aqua Nero were amazing. The staff is so welcoming and cannot do enough for you. Our guides were so knowledgeable and accommodating. The food was delicious it is served family style but they accommodated me and my husband at every meal with vegetarian dishes without ever having to remind them. Our cabin was spacious and very comfortable. It was a real treat to have our laundry picked up 3 times a day and returned promptly with no charge. The lunch served on the shore of the Amazon was truly something memorable. I can’t say enough how wonderful it was

        Good experience with lots of activities and professional staff
        The experience was amazing. It is possible to see a lot of animals, of the amazon river and also the daily activities were really cool to do. I liked how each activity was well organised and also that there are a lot of different things to do. If it was a visit to the indigenous people, climbing through the trees or visiting the monkey island. The guides made sure everything went perfectly and knew a lot about the area. The accomedation itself also was nice, there was a pool for when you are back at the lodge, the lodge itself was really beautifull and clean and the cooks also never dissapointed. I also want to give a special credit to Alex who could tell a lot about the places and also told the coolest stories with things he had experienced in the past.

        Lodge is great, tours are questionable
        First off, a few pros The tour guide was amazing! The food was some of the best we’ve had the whole time in Peru. 10/10 The pool/rooms were great, lots of work going on when we were there, clean and fun lodge though! The couple that run the lodge are also very nice. The adventure park was a lot bigger then we thought it’d be! The cons, The “native village” is a huge tourism grab. They just have tables set up to sell you things. They are just locates putting on an act… So if your excited about that like we were, be aware your most likely going to be let down. They also take you to an animal park were the animals are kept in questionable situations.

        Amazing time on the Amazon
        The cruise was amazing from every aspect. The crew, food, tour guides, accomodations. We got up close to lots of diverse wild life and every excursion were on smaller boats departing from the main boat which made things carefree and easy. They had all the equipment necessary from rain ponchos, bug spray, boots for jungle hike, etc. the cabins were spacious and well appointed and air conditioned with a big shower. The food was local and outstanding. It was a great way to see the Amazon.

        A truly Fantastic Experience.
        I cannot praise the team that looked after us enough. The guides were knowledgeable, funny and made every trip a pleasure. The food was really excellent - I don't know how the chef managed to produce such wonderful meals in the middle of the Amazon. Luis, the bartender made the best Dark and Stormy cocktail that I have ever tasted. Every single member of the team made it their mission to enable you to enjoy every moment. We saw plentiful animals and and birds during our trips. We fished for pirhanas, kayaked and one of the best trips was to a village on the river bank. Yes, it is a rainforest - and it does rain!! But we enjoyed every moment of our time on the 'Aria'.

        The Aria Amazon experience will be one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever done. Attentive, caring and beautiful crew.
        The tours are amazing and the guides really take their time to teach you all they know about this beautiful place. The crew are exceptional and the food is outstanding.

        How did I Enjoy Thee, Let Me Count The Ways
        If I could, I would give more than 5 Stars. The staff, Beginning with Captain Richard, the food prepared by Chef Juan Diego (as close to being Michelin starred as possible), and the clean & roomy accommodation were above and beyond expectation. The highlight, from a staff standpoint were the guides George (of the jungle), Billy and Juan Luis and the cruise director, Galilea. Of course the dining room staff were all excellent - particularly Freddy, Luis & Maxima. The primary highlight was the opportunity to spend 7 days exploring and experiencing the Amazon River, in Peru. But to do it while receiving above & beyond service, was icing on the cake. We did spend 7 days on the ship while most others did the 4 day trip. Because of the staff and service, we did not regret the extra days. Just a few of the service highlights/ things of note: - Cold towels given out while on the skiff during very hot and humid weather. - Skiffs were very sturdy and comfortable. - Following hikes into the jungle our shoes were left behind to be cleaned. - One of the many highlights of the trip was the opportunity to visit a number of villages. Suggest you go to Costco and buy a lot of candy to share with the children during these visits. - A nice touch is we had our personal laundry cleaned everyday. Following each daily excursion, sweaty and dirty clothes were placed in a basket, picked up during turn down service each evening, and returned the next AM. - Finally, at the end of each cruise, the very talented guides, restaurant , etc.,staff put on a farewell show. Not to be missed. The only suggestion I would offer is to lighten the portions at lunch. We were forced to have a nap following each lunch. 🥴

        Aqua Expeditions: the company needs to train their office employees much better
        Even though the experience in the boat was wonderful, the entire reservation process was a disaster. Calls/emails not returned, wrong information and questions answered incorrectly. We came very close to not going because of the “front end.” We did go and had a great time. That being said, rooms are very small, limited space for storage and my room was extremely noisy.

        Unforgettable and incredible
        Absolutely incredible! Me and my partner are travelling through Peru and the Caribbean for my 30th and decided to book this tour (it is still available to book online). Hands down, this was the most amazing experience of my life! On the first day, we were picked up from our accommodation and visited the Yagua indigenous tribe, the Fundo Pedrito animal sanctuary and went out for a jungle excursion. At the tribe's village you take small presents for the children of the tribe (sweets and colouring pencils purchased from Iquitos port), which they were very excited about. We bought a couple bracelets made from Anaconda teeth and local berries/ seeds as a little memento, got to try our hands at some target practice with a traditional dart blow gun, and took part in a small ceremony. At the animal reserve we saw Macaw's, Caiman (which we got to feed), Anaconda (which we got to go inside the enclosure with), and giant Paiche (huge fresh water fish which we also fed and got to touch). Then, once at the Avatar Lodge, we went out for a jungle excursion where we learned all about the Flora and Fauna of the jungle, including very useful survival tactics such as how to use termites to keep mosquitoes away (very useful and effective!). Day 2 we went out looking for pink and grey river dolphin (beautiful, majestic creatures!), fished for Pirhana (however only one small one was actually caught on this occasion so it was put back), and then got to swim in the amazon river - which was a bucket list item for me. We went out for another jungle excursion looking for finger monkeys (which we found after only a short while), and then lazed around in the pool to cool off before going for a night time jungle excursion and saw Tarantula and many other large Spiders, loads of lizards, frogs, and other critters - the jungle comes to life at night!! Day 3 we went out for a sunrise boat trip to see the dolphin once more (early morning is a much better time to see them as they are hunting for fish), and then went to a monkey sanctuary; prior to the trip I was not overly fussed about seeing the monkeys but it was such an interactive experience as they climb all over you and you feed them, and it was just great, I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. Finally, we did the Mirador zipline and jungle swing experience (which is like GoApe on steroids), and then finally, we chilled in the pool once more to calm our nerves before, sadly, leaving to return to Iquitos. I have to take the time to give a HUGE shout out to Alex, our tour guide, who was one of the most wonderful people we have ever met. His knowledge and expertise were priceless and seemingly endless; he is such a kind and interesting individual and made our trip truly unforgettable. He has some mind blowing stories and goes out of his way to make sure your trip is an unforgettable one. I also have to shout out the chef's while we stayed at Avatar Lodge, as the food they cooked us fresh each day, most of which was from local plants/ tree's, was delicious and far exceeded our expectations. Also, there is a cute dog who lives at the lodge and another couple more that live in the jungle, all of each are so lovely and friendly! 1000/10 would recommend to anyone with a passion for nature and adventure. I would absolutely love to return here as often as I can!

        Alex went above and beyond
        This was the most incredible experience! Alex, our tour guide, knew everything about The Amazon and more! He ensured we were safe but still allowed us to get up close and person with what the jungle had to offer. His passion for the aminals and creatures was very inspiring, he made the trip for me, genuinely amazing guy, with some great stories to tell. The accodation fed us very well, big portions, we didn't need to use our snacks, the food was amazing! The rooms were cosy, the swimming pool was right outside our room and was very much needed, and kept clean. The activities were great, we went to the aminal sanctuary, met the indigenous tribe, went swimming in the Amazon river, went pirhana finishing, saw dolphin's, went on a night walk, watched the sunrise and saw the river dolphin's. I will remember this trip for the rest of my life. To see the lack of reviews is shocking! If you're thinking about going here, do it!!

        WOW!
        I absolutely cannot recommend the Aqua Nera enough! Our experience was a 10/10 all around from the excursions, to the dining, to the staff. Jordano was one of the best bartenders I have ever seen (and I’m from Nashville)! His knowledge and friendliness helped make our trip unforgettable. Maximo was an incredible server who shared so much of his knowledge of the Amazon with us! We were so grateful for everything he taught us. Neycer often led our excursions, and he did a fantastic job! He could spot animals that we couldn’t see even after a few minutes of searching with him pointing directly at them!

      The Muyuna team has the total program fine tuned after 25+ years of pioneering experience! It’s indeed a great way to experience, appreciate, and relish the blessings of Mother Nature and the local communities that are helping Manitoba and nurture it! Santiago and the Muyuna team take care of you as a family member at their wonderful lodge, where you have the privacy at your bungalows while enjoying excellent food prepared fresh, and unending supplies of fresh fruit, hot drinks, and snacks at the main lodge. The day/night activities are well planned and guided to help you enjoy all the nuances of the amazing river and the jungle. Our personal guide, Roger, was not only an experienced jungle guide but also was fluent in English and with great sense of humor. The meals were arranged in such a way to allow mingling with other guests and build the collective camaraderie. Bravo and heartfelt thanks to team Muyuna for making a lifelong memory for us!
      On second thoughts, we would go for the longer stay next time as it finished too soon. Needless to say, please follow all guidance provided by Muyuna for trip planning; especially light clothing that covers fully, Sun screen, and strong bug repellents (they also sell there at reasonable price if you forget). We additionally used pre-treated inspect repellent clothing, and happy to say that we did not have a single bug bite … totally exceeded our expectations!
      A must do life experience…. And strongly recommend doing it at and with the Muyuna team!

      Bugs, no electricity, cold water showers and we had the best time of our life!! Everyone was wonderful! The dining staff was so eager to please and the food was different for every day and meal and totally delicious. You couldn’t go hungry there! The room was perfect with the sounds of the jungle and the hammocks to rest on, on the porch! Fresh water and towels everyday.
      But the absolute best was our guide, Edgar. He could not have been more accommodating for our group of ten family members. When we were late getting there our first day, we told him we wanted to do EVERYTHING! And he managed to work everything in, along with two kayaking trips, two fishing for pirrhana trips. No one could have worked harder to please us. His knowledge of all things, Amazon, was beyond belief!
      From our sunset boat tour, to our daytime and night time boat excursions, daytime and night time hikes in the jungle, spotting pink dolphins and swimming in the Amazon River! And a medicinal plant hike.
      I could never name the number of animals and birds we saw, from three toed sloths to four different kinds of monkeys, including the American Pygmy marmoset, anaconda, two kinds of boas, lizards galore, tarantulas, which we held, scorpions, pirrhannas and too many birds to mention!
      And Edgar was so helpful to me who has some mobility issues and eyesight difficulties. He made sure I saw everything and even took photos and videos for me! I can’t thank you enough, Edgar and all the staff and Muyana Lodge itself for this experience I will NEVER forget

      We did 2 nights, 3 days Amazon experience at Muyuna lodge. This includes airport pick up, stopping at their office in Iquitos, choosing the gum boots and speed boat transport to the lodge. Since our plane was running late, they even made sandwiches for us and fed us during the boat ride. You have to bring a smaller bag and leave the rest of your luggage in their office as the water level is low in dry season and the boat shouldn't be loaded with heavy suitcases. The ride takes 3 hours. The lodge is amazing. The rooms are very spacious and protected with netting. All the meals were very tasty and we had different dishes every day. The excursions were fantastic, some on land, some by boat. Our guide Alain was very knowlegable about the plants and animals of the rainforest. He was able to spot them even in the dark! It was an amazing experience.
