Did the week river cruise on the Delfin II on a National Geographic tour. Nat Geo leases the boat for its tours and tour guides and staff are Delfin II workers. Trip is top drawer from start to finish with a few minor glitches. Boat is fantastic, rooms very large, food excellent, and overall you can't believe you are on... More

Having sailed with Lindblad before, we knew the expedition would be superior. Looking at the photos of the Delfin II, we thought we were getting into a luxurious version of an expedition. We are absolutely right! But, the luxury came from many quarters, not just the splendid cabins, we had a Master Cabin with four panoramic picture windows, but the... More

We spent 4 days/3 nights on the Delfin I cruising the river during high water season (late March). The vessel itself is simply beautiful, first class all the way. Our naturalist/guide was fun, wonderfully informative and an excellent host on both the excursions and while on board the Delfin I. And then there is the food, beautiful and delicious. The... More

Strongly recommended..The boat is fantastic, the rooms are superb. The stuff are very experienced, kind and polite..The experience itself is truly amazing. We have already been to Brasilian Amazon, but this one has the real feeling of the wild nature..Don't miss the sun rise on the boat, especially if you like taking photographs...Just pay attention to the mosquitos...

This cruise is one of the best run cruises I've ever been on. From the pick up at the airport in Iquitos to the posh reception lounge they have set up in Nauta with tropical drinks waiting for you on arrival, Delfin pampers you from start to finish. Boat: The boat was superb from top to bottom. We sailed on... More

The other reviews say it all! My wife and I spent three nights (Jan 30 to Feb 2) on Delfin 1, which I selected for its intimacy of a maximum of 8 guests. In fact, we were one of only three couples, one of which became engaged on board. If there was a downside, it was the over three hours... More

Expensive, sure. But if you travel aboard the Delfin II from Iquitos, especially with teenagers or preteens, you will be having an experience of a lifetime to share! Everything from the accommodations, the beautifully prepared and presented meals, the varied activities, the extremely knowledgeable guides and warm and caring staff was perfect in every way. We took a 3-night cruise... More

We are just back from a 3 day cruise with the Delphin I, a truly amazing experience. The boat, a floating luxury palace with wonderful staff and a superb cusine, using only local produce; fish from the rainforest and local fruits and vegetables. Our four children loved it as much as we did - the excursions into the nature reserve,... More

We spent three wonderful nights aboard the Delfin I. Absolutely everything was perfect. The food could not have been better. So fresh and creatively prepared. The four suites were modern and well appointed with huge wall to ceiling windows and expansive balconies. The two lower deck suites have their own plunge pools. The beds were super comfortable, Tempurpedics maybe. The... More
