BOUTIQUE LUXURY RIVER SAFARIS & SUPERYACHTS

Aqua Expeditions

The pinnacle of intimate water-based wildlife safaris. Explore the Peruvian Amazon, Cambodia's Mekong, and the remote coral seas of Komodo and Raja Ampat aboard designer vessels with a 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio.

A FLOATING FIVE-STAR SAFARI LODGE

Intimate Wildlife Encounters on the World's Great Waterways

Founded by Francesco Galli Zugaro, Aqua Expeditions bridges the gap between five-star boutique hospitality and authentic wilderness exploration. Carrying just 16 to 40 guests, their bespoke custom-designed vessels provide unprecedented access to pristine tributaries and coral lagoons unreachable by standard cruise ships.

On the Amazon aboard Aqua Nera or Aria Amazon, your daily game drives take place in private low-emission skiffs piloted by certified native Amazonian naturalists. Skim beneath dense jungle canopies to spot pink river dolphins, three-toed sloths, harpy eagles, and stealthy black caimans.

“Aqua Expeditions redefines the river safari: floor-to-ceiling glass suites, rainforest-to-table culinary menus, and daily wildlife immersion.”
