amazon & Baca dos Botos

Seabourn have just announced the Zodiac trips at baca dos Botos which seem Quite expensive for a 1 1/2 hour trip. Does anybody know how many passengers are on each Zodiac:)

When I went there were 6 or 7 of us plus a couple of expedition team.

Cool - thanks for flagging because when I checked last weekend they hadn't appeared yet. I just booked the zodiac tours in all 4 Amazon locations plus Devils Island, as well as the Ventures kayaking in Buzios. Can't wait!

Thanks for letting us know, will have a closer look when I get home. For the Devils Island stopover where would the tender normally drop off as wondering what the different areas the Ventures would go to?

For 'Devils Island', you actually go to Isle Royale rather than Devils Island itself. This was the administration island rather than the prison one. There is a nice walk around it, some interesting buildings and a (from memory) a hotel/cafe.

The island is not big and it doesn't take too long to visit. There are monkeys to be seen and a type of capibarra. Weather was very hot and humid.

Don't know what the ventures tours offer there.

It's a two hour "nature" tour by Zodiac, leaving enough time to explore the island afterwards.

Great, thanks for that! Seeing it says the tour is considered as strenuous and you said it was very hot and humid might just stick to a tender to shore instead where we can bale out quickly if it get a bit too hot and steamy...

Does anybody know how many zodiacs there are on the ship:)

This is purely from memory so I might not be totally right, but I think it's 6 larger ones (for 12) and 2 smaller ones (for 8).
