Excellent whirlwind tour - This is a highly recommended tour for anyone with a short time in Manaus. I sent a message through Viator about the pick up time and I immediately received a reply. The driver arrived promptly at my hotel and delivered me to the port where I met the guide, Neto. He immediately informed me of the day’s itinerary and spoke very good English. The boat was full, mainly with Portuguese speakers but a handful of us spoke English and Neto explained everything in both languages. Several activities are packed into this 6 hour tour making it very good value for money. This includes a very good buffet lunch. Since I really wanted to take a walk in the rainforest which was not part of this tour, (with my short time in Manaus preventing me from booking a longer tour), Neto made sure to include a short walk in the forest for those who were interested, all the while explaining what we were seeing. For this diversion, which he told me was done for me, I am very grateful. All in all, a highly recommended fun tour.

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.

Well - Excellent excursion, we loved getting to know a little about Manaus. We saw the meeting of the rivers and swam with dolphins.

Check the details, but would still recommed. - Careful when you book. We booked the tour with the river side trip to see the Vitoria Regia lillies (which was offered), but when we arrived, they informed us that they didn’t offer this tour during the dry season (not sure where the communication breakdown was between the tour operator and Viator). Also, note that they may pick you up from your hotel, but they may not return you to your hotel. The sound system on the boat was terrible. The Brazilian I sat by could not understand anything in Portuguese and I couldn’t understand anything in English. But when I spoke with our guide directly, he was great. With those words of caution, we still had a wonderful time. We spent more time on the boat going to our stops than expected, but we loved seeing the pink river dolphins, the pirarucu farm (definitely spend the 10 reais for 3 bamboo rods with fish bait…those big fish hit hard!), and the meeting of the waters. Our boat pilot did a great job of maneuvering the boat so everyone got good views and pictures. The lunch buffet was hot and tasty. The visit to the indigenous village was a little staged, but the traditional music and dance was still interesting although brief.

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!

Trap - A few hours longer than expected, which complicated my plans. And very touristic, crowded, not nice.
