Highly recommend. The pool is fabulous and the lodge is gorgeous. Food was good and the excursions were great. Especially Monkey Island. Not to be missed. Would love to go back.

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!!!

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

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.

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.

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'.

This is a must do bucket list trip. The team are exceptional and nothing is too difficult. The day trips are simply unexplainably breathtaking with guides who are so passionate about their special place. love it

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.

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. 🥴

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.

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 service is 5 stars with very attentive and one to one ratio of crew to guest. The food is the highlight with special attention to Peruvian and local ingredients. When the weather is good the excursion is also a lot of fun! We did the four days cruise they also offer longer ones. We had a great time and would recommend to others. However, because the experience is not exactly cheap you should be aware: - when the weather is not good meaning raining and it rains fairly frequent as you can imagine, the animals are NOT out and you do not have much to do onboard (the boat is not equipped with any entertainment) - it does not have like professor or other distinguished naturalists onboard. The guides are mainly local and offers great guidance to casual observers (us). However, if you are some avid animal enthusiasts I suspect you may find it a bit superficial - the rooms and indoor areas are perfectly comfortable but you will smell something in any area not fully enclosed or air conditioned (enter the doorway). There are some wears and tears of the boat but nothing to be concerned of - there will be bugs onboard so just be prepared. Kinda a package of the place - there is a 10% suggested gratitude (give or take) of your booking value so just be prepared

After a 4:25 am flight from Lima and then a five hour wait at the Hilton Garden Hotel, we boarded a bus for a 2.5 hour ride to Iquitos where we boarded the boat. Staff was very pleasant. Food was average. Ordering wine with your meal involved someone having to running upstairs. Cabins were small and very basic but comfortable. It was a bit visually jarring when you turn into the hallway of rooms and see what for me are white aluminum, exterior door. The trip involved a number of daily excursions on skiffs which at first felt like a bit of a scam but then the monkeys,sloths, snakes, dolphins and piranha made a number of appearance. The guides were very knowledgeable…and chartty. If they had read the room, they have seen a punch of sweating, exhausted people swatting flies away but just the moment “let’s turn around and watch more pink dolphins.” The despair was palpable. .

We had an incredible experience on the Amazon with the Delfin 1 crew. The riverboat itself is exquisitely furnished and luxuriously comfortable - and the food is delicious! The excursions from the boat were well-planned and interesting. We got to experience the Amazon in many ways - jungle walks where we saw a sloth, anaconda and tarantula, river skiffs where we saw lots of bird life and monkeys, swimming and kayaking in the Amazon and visiting local communities. Our guide (Denis) was highly knowledgeable, warm and always flexible in accommodating everyone’s needs. This was a special trip which we will remember forever.

We just returned from a cruise on the LaPerla. The size and cleanliness of the boat, the friendly and knowledgeable crew, and the Amazonian experience was all truelly memorable. We visited villages and learned a lot about their cultures/traditions. We were fortunate to see many pink and grey dolphins, sloths, anaconda, boa, bats, many birds, an assortment of monkeys, capybara (at a rescue), turtles, lizards, etc. Our guides were so knowledgeable and passionate of the Amazon and their culture. We learned so much and loved every minute of this Amazon vacation.
