River Plate’s six independent Fly-In Floating Cabins (I, II, III,
IV, V, VI) are the ultimate solution for optimizing shallow drafting mobility,
comfort and luxury.
On arrival from the US, you travel about 1 to 2 hours directly to one of our
six Floating Cabins via a new state-of-the-art 8 passenger Cessna Caravan
turbo prop float plane.
Our Cabins cruise the headwaters of small tributaries with fish-filled secluded lagoons, which are 3 – 5 hours on a fast bass boat from the melee of competing house boats and lodges on the Negro’s river deep channel waterways.



The arrival day float
plane flight, plus the daily shallow drafting Cabin cruising,
effectively replaces daily 3-5 hour fast bass boat traveling,
or expensive daily Fly-Outs, from the main waterways to
the secluded lagoons which are protected by shallow water
entry barriers.
Although many well established land based lodges, including our ex-Shufari
and Tapera Lodges, are situated past these natural barriers, they have
no mobility to seek better water levels. Plus, more importantly, their
areas become rapidly overfished 2 to 3 hours upriver or downriver. Our
cabins, however, move daily to unfished river segments overnighting along
Caribbean-like beaches.
Walk-in at any time to comfort from the nearby secluded prehistoric-looking
lagoons to your 10’ X 15’ elegant roomy cabin with private
full bathroom. The Cabins are fully carpeted, tastefully decorated, and
every detail has been carefully considered.
