A trip to the Peruvian Amazon jungle is guaranteed to be one of the most unforgettable vacation destinations you can choose for your family. In an outdoor classroom for the little ones, the rich biodiversity of the rainforest will open up their minds to a whole new world of curiosity and excitement.

What types of Activities can your Kids expect onboard Delfin Amazon Cruises?

  1. Boat safari 

For older, more active kids, a boat safari excursion through the Amazon’s tributaries is an exciting way to see the jungle from a different perspective. Meander along the small waterways looking for monkeys and sloths as you paddle up close to the river banks. 


2. Night Exploration & Star Gazing 

Ever wonder what goes bump in the night? Well, we are determined to find out! Exploring the jungle at night with our expert naturalist guides means searching for caiman, snakes, frogs, spiders, and more. Children will get an educational experience on nocturnal wildlife and how to identify them by carefully listening to the jungle’s sounds. Let’s not forget about the magical star constellations that can be seen in the jungle at night.

  1. Piranha Fishing 

For the young adventurers, learning how to catch and release fish, especially a piranha from the Amazon, is a memorable activity. Our guides will give your family a lesson on piranha facts and what types of fish species can be found in the river. A fun biology class for everyone!

  1. Local Community Visits & Crafts Market

Visiting the Amazon’s local communities gives your children the opportunity to see the world in a whole new way.
