Amazon Rainforest Tours & Cruises
The Amazon is the world’s largest tropical rainforest and ranked as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. It spans parts of nine South American countries and encompasses the Amazon River, the world's largest waterway by volume.
Explore the world’s largest rainforest on one of our Amazon tours, travelling deep into remote wilderness by river cruise or staying at a wildlife-rich Amazon lodge. Amazon tours offer an incredible opportunity to experience one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, home to around 10% of the world’s known species.
Wildlife is a major highlight of Amazon Rainforest tours. You may spot giant river otters, sloths, monkeys, macaws, pink river dolphins and capybaras, while the rainforest canopy is alive with thousands of bird species. Many Amazon tours also include visits to local and indigenous communities, where travellers can learn about traditional lifestyles, rainforest survival skills and the deep cultural connection people have with the Amazon.
Whether you choose a luxury Amazon river cruise or a comfortable jungle lodge, Amazon tours are all about wildlife encounters, expert naturalist guides and immersive rainforest experiences. Each journey offers something different, making the Amazon one of the most fascinating and rewarding destinations in South America.

FAQs
When is the best time to visit Amazon?
The best time to visit the Amazon depends on your wishes and things you want to do. It is possible to visit the Amazon throughout the whole year.
During the dry season, from May until October, the weather is warm with temperatures between 78F and 93F (24C and 31C). At this time larger numbers of parrots and macaws are visiting the clay licks, however, it takes more time to travel on rivers due to low water levels.
The wet season is from November until April, and you can expect heavy rainfall, however, the upside is that there are fewer eco tourists, higher bird activity as well as easier to find reptiles and amphibians.
Do I need to get vaccinations for the Amazon?
You should prepare well before visiting the Amazon. It is recommended to visit a medical professional for advice on which vaccinations are needed depending on your health and vaccination history. However, we recommend the following vaccinations: Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Typhoid fever, Yellow Fever and Rabies.
Will I see wildlife in the Amazon?
Yes, you will see wildlife. With the help of an experienced and trained tour guide you will visit the best places for animal viewing.
What to bring to the Amazon?
As the luggage is hand carried, it is recommended you limit your luggage to 15 kilos (32 pounds) a piece. We suggest bringing:
- tight-weave, light-coloured, long pants
- long sleeved, tight-weave, light coloured shirts
- ankle-high hiking boots and sneakers
- sunblock lotion
