The master cabin opens onto the river through panoramic windows; two connecting cabins can be joined together and are ideal for families. Meals are prepared with fresh ingredients from the Pará region and served in the dining room or on deck.
The Amazon Dolphin is one of three boats used on the Amazon river cruises around Alter do Chão, depending on the size of the group. As the largest boat, it is primarily used for larger groups; the experiences on board are the same on all three boats.
Like all the boats in the fleet, the Amazon Dolphin is registered with the Brazilian Navy and operates with an experienced crew familiar with the area, as well as its own support boats for the excursions.
