Onboard Amenities
Dining & Beverages
Dining on board is a gourmet experience that highlights the rich flavors of the Amazon. Guests enjoy a variety of dishes featuring local ingredients, with meals served in a comfortable, social setting. The menu includes vegetarian options and can be tailored to specific dietary needs upon request.
Shore excursions & land activities
The Zafiro focuses on immersive land and river excursions rather than underwater activities. Guests participate in daily guided skiff rides to explore the Amazon's tributaries, providing intimate access to the rainforest's wildlife, including pink dolphins, caimans, and diverse bird species. Land-based activities include guided jungle treks led by expert naturalists who share deep knowledge of the local flora and fauna. These excursions are designed for various fitness levels, allowing guests to explore the Amazonian ecosystem, visit local communities, and engage in conservation efforts at centers like the Manatee Rescue Center.
