Unique Jungle Experience - Unique experience on one of the Amazon rivers. Joshua, the owner, is immediately accessible at all times. This tour is complex with cars, vans and boats, yet is superbly and flawlessly organized—everyone involved is always on time, unusual in South American culture.
Ken, our guide, is so knowledgeable and passionate about the environment. Gustavo, the other guide, is amazing in his ability to find animals to observe. David, our driver in Manaus, had much information about the city and was enormously helpful when we had to change hotels.
The accommodations are rustic, but the air conditioning was great to escape the heat and humidity of the Amazon. The quality of the food was marginal, the only real negative to this tour, but was plentiful.

Amazing Amazon - Visiting the Amazonia with the guide Toniel was incredible. He answerd all our questions and was very professional and authentic. We had such a lovely time in the jungle! Beautiful lodge, great food and nice hosts! Safe and quiet place. We would recommend it! Anna and Arianna

Delivered as promised - We had a great time.
Our guide Marcus was very knowledgeable and it was obvious that he enjoyed sharing his passion about life in the rainforest.
Tapiri Floating Lodge provided us with
lovely home cooked meals. Glad we had accommodation with air condition otherwise it would have been hard to sleep.

Clear recommendation for adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts!! - We have no comparison as this was our first jungle tour, but it couldn't have been much better!
We booked the 3 day/2 night tour at the Amazon Tapiri Lodge and would do it again.
The payment process in advance was easy and shortly before we set off we received more detailed information about our trip. We were picked up at the hotel by our guide Kennydy. He accompanied and guided us the entire time until he dropped us off at the hotel at the end. We were extremely lucky with our guide, who not only spoke perfect English but also knew the jungle very well thanks to years of experience.
Thanks to him we learned a lot about birds, the trees, the people and life in the Amazon. He was very committed, friendly and did everything to make sure we were comfortable and had an unforgettable trip.
The arrival and departure were very well organized, the necessary boats and cars were always ready so we never had to wait.
The Amazon Tapiri Lodge is a "floating house" right in the Amazon, so the dolphins swim just a few meters away from you. Our room was simple and rustic, in keeping with the jungle, but clean and there was air conditioning and mostly electricity. The food was really good, freshly prepared with local ingredients and fish we caught ourselves.
We did all of the experiences described on the website and every single one was impressive. In particular, the piranha fishing and the nighttime caiman spotting, where Kennydy caught a caiman with his own hands, will stay in our memories forever.
We would book with Joshua's Amazon Expeditions again and again and can only recommend this trip to adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts.
Thank you for this unforgettable time, Kennydy!

Escape From Reality - This tour was honestly amazing! Beyond any expectations that we had 😊 - they arranged for us to be picked up right from our hotel in Manaus, and arranged all the boat/truck transport needed to get us to and from the lodge - once there we got to enjoy multiple wildlife spotting boat rides each day, piranha fishing, a jungle hike, caiman catching, and a whole lot of jungle history/facts from our guide Ken - he was amazing and made sure we had a great time and saw as much as we possibly could in our few days there - Tapiri Lodge had everything we needed for our adventure, and they were even able to accommodate me being a vegetarian in the meals they served - would totally recommend this for anyone wanting to get away from reality for a few days and just enjoy everything the Amazon Jungle has to offer 😊

Wonderful experience in Amazon Forest - This tour is perfect. Our guide Kenedy has solid knowledge about Amazon, and he is able to answer all our questions about the forest like climate, species and culture. The lady of the lodge cooks well. Everything is amazing and beyond our expectation!

Incredible Amazon experience !! - This was an incredible experience for 3 days and two nights. The journey from Manaus itself was an adventure !! The river lodge is simple but adequate. It is clean and the surrounding view is beautiful. Our guide Gilmar is very friendly, knowledgeable and he looked after us very well. The home cooked food was very tasty and plentiful. We enjoyed all the adventures and piranha fishing and baby caiman catching at night were incredible. We would highly recommend this company. Everyone has tried their best to help and support us including the owner !!

The Beauty of the Amazon! - We felt well taken care of the whole trip - Joshua's brother Marco even took us to and from the airport. We went on a private tour with our very talented guide Titan, and we got to do everything we wanted to on this short 3D/2N trip. It was exactly as advertised, and for a reasonable price. Holding wild cayman, fishing for piranhas, canoeing through the sunken forest, seeing all sorts of wild animals - it was beyond amazing. Make sure you bring binoculars! Highly recommended.
