In the 1979 James Bond film Moonraker, which vehicle does Bond use to travel through the Amazon rainforest?

The story behind the answer

In Moonraker, James Bond uses a boat to travel through the Amazon rainforest.

The boat sequence takes place after Bond reaches Brazil while investigating Hugo Drax’s operations. Bond and Dr. Holly Goodhead travel through the jungle waterways, where they encounter dangerous wildlife and Drax’s forces. The setting broadens the film’s vehicle spectacle beyond the cars seen in its European scenes.

Moonraker is especially famous for its space-station plot and its gondola chase in Venice. Those sequences can make the Amazon transport easy to overlook, but the boat is the practical vehicle used for the rainforest journey.

The answer is sometimes confused with the film’s other unusual transport: Bond travels by gondola in Venice, escapes from a cable car, and later reaches orbit aboard a space shuttle. In the Amazon section, however, the relevant vehicle is simply a boat.
