Introduction to the cruise

The Motor Yacht Tucano, which welcomes up to 18 guests in nine staterooms, is an expedition vessel specifically designed for deep exploration of the Brazilian Amazon. Thanks to a relatively small size, agile design, and shallow draft, Tucano Amazon river cruises leave the main tourist paths far behind.
Instead, the Tucano sails in uncharted waters and glides down the small tributaries woven through the rainforest. During your cruise, you may not see other boats or people for days at a time.
Excursions From Your Motor Yacht Tucano Brazil Cruise
The Tucano is the only vessel to explore the deepest parts of the Central Amazon Conservation Complex. The UNESCO World Heritage Site measures in at 15 million acres of uninhabited wilderness. This is one of the most diverse ecosystems globally and the best place to spot many monkey species. During a cruise on Tucano, you may be able to see Howler monkeys, spider monkeys, and tamarins. The itineraries offered on the Tucano are some of the most sophisticated and active.
There are four to five excursions from the boat on most days, supported by a fleet of small exploration crafts. Guests may select which activities they wish to participate in and may stay on the ship when they prefer. A naturalist guide leads each excursion and will help you identify the animals and plants around you. On any given day, you may find yourself on a sunrise paddle through narrow streams, hiking on wilderness trails, visiting homesteading families, or taking an after-dark walk to see night-blooming flowers and caimans.
Life Aboard During a Tucano Amazon River Cruise
Despite the small group size, the Motor Yacht Tucano is surprisingly spacious. The crew understands that travelers are keen to see wildlife up close, and there are plenty of spots to do just that. A large salon sits at the bow of the ship. This room is lined with oversized windows, which allow you to appreciate the sights and sounds of the river without braving the sun. Outside, a large observation deck, complete with a canopy, tops the ship and invites you to sit and watch the birds that soar over the river.
On the middle deck, a large balcony makes up the front of the ship. This is an excellent spot to see dolphins as you glide down the river. Wherever you opt to spend your time, you will find elegant décor. The Tucano is decorated in the style of a 19th-century steamship and features artwork showcasing nature and geography. In the dining room, you will dine on fresh, wholesome, locally-sourced meals. The ship’s chefs are happy to create dishes for vegetarian and other special diets.
Responsible, Sustainable Tourism
As the most sustainable boat in the Amazon, the Tucano has a range of innovations to reduce exhaust emissions, limit the use of fossil fuels, and minimize carbon footprint. Rather than continuously relying on diesel generators, a mix of solar-electric and solar-thermal systems power many of the ship’s amenities.
Even the excursion vessels are solar-powered. The Tucano also features a unique water-heating system, which uses the sun to heat water during the bulk of the day. The Tucano team also requests that travelers partner together to reduce energy usage and the impact made on the Amazonian ecosystem.
From leaping off the swim deck into some of the cleanest water in the world to scouting through flooded grasslands, both the five- and seven-day Tucano Amazon river cruises offer unique experiences for active travelers.
