Once in a lifetime - The whole tour was amazing! It was a once in a lifetime experience and one we will never forget. The tour guide picked us up from our hotel and we went straight to see the pink dolphins from here. We chose not to swim with the dolphins for various reasons but it was fantastic to see them up close. We then went to the indigenous tribe and joined in with a ceremonial ritual. This was fantastic. I cannot recommend this tour enough if you want to experience the Amazon on a tight time limit.

Great tour - We had an amazing time on this tour! It was my first time trying Viator but it worked well and the pick up and drop off at the hotel was very convenient. Swimming with the pink dolfins, seeing the incredible meeting of the rivers and walking in the jungle were some of the many highlights of the tour. Although the tour was advertized as English it was 95% in portuguese. And although it said half day we were only back at 3pm, but that was not a problem for us.

Great tour. The half day... - Great tour. The half day is really a half day not 4 hours as the Tripadvisor description says. Get a front seat in the boat if possible, would be helpful a lot of times.

Great Amazon sample for a short stay in Manaus - Great trip for a taste of the Amazon for a short visit in Manaus! Saw the pink dolphins, the two waters meet, had lunch, took a walk in the rainforest, and visited an indigenous tribe. I'd recommend this if you have a short stay in Manaus!

Ok intro to amazon - For the value ok because there are a lot of activities. Very touristy and over crowded. To many people to really interact with the dolphins. At times seemed rush. Good for a intro in the amazon but would recommend also taking a more intimate and longer tour

Not a recommended tour, uncomfortable boat without proper seating arrangement. - Boat was untidy, seats were not given to us, guide did not care if we were uncomfortable. Poor English narration by Guide. Not value for money - avoid this tour
