Napo River Travel Guide

Highlights of the Napo River
Ecuador's Amazon is a fantastic destination for wildlife lovers who want to be immersed in a dense rain forest bursting with biodiversity while enjoying all the comforts of a luxury vacation. And in a region where roads are scarce, the Napo River provides the best way to experience all that this jungle has to offer.

Canoeing and kayaking allows visitors to sit right on the water, where birds, monkeys, insects, and all other wildlife come to drink.
Parrot clay licks along the banks of the river attract hundreds of parrots each morning in a colorful winged portrait.
Indigenous communities welcome travelers to learn more about their ways of life, customs, and traditions when you visit.
Swimming in the blackwater lakes is a unique experience also, as friendly fish swim by your legs.
Hike - day or night - through the jungle in search of all manner of creatures.
Climb into the canopy of the rainforest with tree towers and canopy bridge walkways.

We had the most incredible trip to Antarctica! Plus, we got a fantastic deal (especially considering how expensive expeditions are) and a free cabin upgrade. Prior to our trip, Michelle and Erin took great care of us and made sure we were good to go. Every element of the trip went smoothly with no surprises. Our ship, Ocean Albatross, was beautiful. The cabin was spacious and had everything we needed. The laundry service was cheap and fast (so there was no need to overpack). The food was great. The atmosphere was comfortable and casual (our style). And best of all, the staff and crew were so kind, accommodating and friendly. The guides and expedition leader were all amazing. We did so many shore landings and zodiac cruises, each one unique. There was no shortage of wildlife! We traveled with our 10 year-old son who had the time of his life. There were several other tweens/teens onboard. The guests were mostly a combination of families and solo travelers, mostly from the US. Overall, our trip was spectacular, a truly unforgettable trip of a lifetime!
