NEWS
We are working to improve the access to our remote Fly-In Floating
Cabins. As such, we are glad to inform that River
Plate is doubling its float
plane capacity for transfers in and out of the camp.
Within the next month, two more float
planes from Manaus Taxi Aéreo Company will become part of River Plate's air transport fleet.
We will keep you posted regarding this matter,
Sincerely
Luis Brown
TYPICAL DAY
FLOATING CABINS
Once in Manaus, you will travel about an hour to a remote and secluded fishery area in a turboprop floatplane.
We try to personalize each day’s fishing schedule to better suit your preferences.
Each evening, the manager will discuss the following day’s plan with you.
You will typically be awakened by 6:30 a.m. by one of the members of our staff. Breakfast will be served by 7:00 and your guide will be ready to leave by 7:30.
You may start to fish in the adjoining lagoons while the Floating Cabins navigate to unfished river segments.
At midday you may return for lunch and a “siesta” on the fully air-conditioned Floating Cabins, or you may take a packed lunch prepared by our cook and continue fishing until late in the afternoon.
Appetizers and dinner are served after all the guests return.
BLACK WATER EXPLORER HOUSEBOAT
Once in Manaus, you will spend about an hour in a turboprop floatplane to reach a main waterway as close as possible to your fishery.
We try to personalize each day’s fishing schedule to better suit your preferences.
Each evening, the manager will discuss the following day’s plan with you.
A typical day starts with wake-up at 6:30 a.m. Breakfast will be served by 7:00 a.m. (you will have time to prepare your lunchbox) and your guide will be ready to leave by 7:30 a.m.
The lagoons where you will be fishing are about a half-hour to two hours' distance away. At midday your guide will grill a fish on a sandy beach and find a shady spot to set up hammocks. You will be able to fish until the late afternoon when the guide gives you a signal that it is time to return to the Black Water Explorer houseboat.
Dinner is usually served after all the guests return.
For your comfort and to optimize fishing time, the houseboat will usually travel to new locations during the night.
