We went ashore shortly after breakfast to visit a beautiful location called Amazon Natural Park privately owned, the property has been protected for a long time.

The last full day of our expedition exploring the Peruvian Upper Amazon arrived and we took full advantage of it. It was another great day enjoyed by all.ĭelfin II Amazon Natural Park and Yanayacu River The day was rounded off with cocktails, canapés, and recaps at sunset before we transitioned to dinner in the restaurant. Following lunch, guests enjoyed a lecture from the expedition staff before treating their palate at a wine tasting. The ride got our adrenaline pumping as we skimmed across the white water that is forced between a small cap in the Pentecost sandstone. After our return to ship and a spot of tea and coffee, guests boarded the Horizontal Waterfall Adventure Company’s vessel and were whisked away to the thrilling Horizontal Waterfalls. The juvenile raptor was happy to pose for the clicking camera shutters as the Zodiacs crept ever closer. The unique geology was the primary talking point, and a special feature included a Kimberley Rose guarded by a resting white-bellied sea eagle. We spotted short-eared rock wallabies skipping over nearly vertical cliff faces with apparent ease. The sound of honeyeaters and whistlers filled the landscape as we navigated our way through the raging tide and farther into the McClarty Range. Those who braved the conditions had no regrets as the first rays hit the buckled sandstone and rewarded visitors with spectacular colours and lighting for photography. The Zodiac ride to Talbot Creek (donned Cyclone Creek by a vestigial pearl farming operation) was dark, bumpy, and wet as we made our way east into a prevailing headwind. For those inclined, Belinda ran a morning stretch class below slowly fading stars as the sun increased its grip on the day.

Guests woke before first light, eager to see what the sun revealed as they prepped their bags and enjoyed the early riser breakfast.
