Rio Negro Lodge 

Peacock Bass anglers who choose to use the Rio Negro Lodge as a home base depart each morning by Nitro boat or floatplane and return each night for rest and relaxation. Completed in 1998, the lodge was designed to epitomize luxury for up to 36 guests.

Spacious and air conditioned, the main lodge spans 5,000 square feet beneath a verdant jungle canopy. The lodge serves as a hub for fine dining and fellowship while the private cabins form spokes for solitude.

Located on paths winding through the lush rain forest grounds of the Rio Negro Lodge, the cabins feature air conditioning, queen-sized beds, private baths with hot water, walk-in showers, a sitting area and a covered porch. Beautiful views. Absolute comfort.

The property incorporates handcrafted woods, slate floors and thatched roofs, creating dramatic beauty against the exotic jungle backdrop. And our guests will enjoy resort-level amenities like daily laundry service, a private beach and fine dining.

The lodge is equipped with a state-of-the-art satellite phone communication system for seamless contact with the outside world. Guests may leave the lodge phone number for home or business use.   Please note, however, that this phone costs $4.00/minute for incoming and outgoing calls! Phil, the owner of Amazon Tours, Inc., lives at the Rio Negro Lodge. 

In 1992, Amazon Tours pioneered peacock bass fishing in Brazil with the introduction of the Amazon Queen. The objective was to provide our guests with the ultimate combination of luxury and adventure. This being said, she soon became famous among international fishermen and has become the standard against which all other fishing trips are judged. Guests of the Amazon Queen have included such fishing greats as Jimmy Houston, Roland Martin, Johnny Morris along with 2,853 other fishermen during her 12 year reign.

After 12 years of uncompromising service, the Amazon Queen has been replaced last October with the new “Queen of the Amazon”, the Amazon Queen II. This incredible ship has once again set new standards of luxury and adventure.
You will live aboard the Amazon Queen II for your entire Amazon adventure, departing each morning in a Nitro bass boat with a local guide and your fishing partner, returning each evening for dinner, a nightcap and a great night’s sleep.

This 103-foot, three story, floating hotel offers comfort, convenience and privacy for up to 20 passengers while accommodating a crew of 30. The Queen II’s air- conditioned staterooms feature private baths (with hot & cold water) and bunk style beds (55” wide by 86” long on the bottom and 47” wide by 86” long on the top). The spacious air conditioned dining room is 33’ long by 25’ wide and includes seating for 24 guests along with a spacious bar area. The top deck lounge/observation area is perfect to gather with other adventurers to talk about the days fishing or just watch the jungle glide by. The office/gift shop is stocked with local artifacts and gift ideas for those left behind. One other important factor is that the Queen II was built specifically with the American traveler in mind. All ceilings are 7’ high insuring that even our tallest guests can walk around the decks in comfort.

The kitchen area is fully stocked and our chefs are waiting to provide you with some of the best meals you’ll find anywhere - let alone on a luxurious boat cruising through the remote and exotic waters of the Amazon basin. The Queen II is equipped with state of the art Furuno navigation equipment along with satellite communications. The boats electrical system has been laid out with the international traveler in mind (120 volts/60 cycles) with U.S. style outlets.

Come join us in Brazil and sail the Rio Negro River in style aboard the brand new Amazon Queen II.
