Amazon River full day tour - It was a very enjoyable day on the Amazon River. We played with the pink dolphins and saw the meeting of the waters! Awesome! Our guide Denis Ferreira was spectacular, his English was almost perfect and his knowledge of the area was extensive! Our boat driver “the General” did a great job of managing the waves and the river traffic. Overall we would highly recommend this tour.

Knowledgable and very... - Knowledgable and very attentive guide Great boat ride Lunch was also great A good and entertaining day was planned out

Little piece of the Amazon! - If I had had more time, I would have stayed for more days. What a place, what a sensational experience!! Our guide was named Fábio and he was very courteous in answering all the questions, showed us everything, with a wealth of details. It gave us security and confidence. I am sure I will return again to this magical place!

Must do tour when in Manaus - A amazing day on river Rio Negro ! Be prepared to ride over 70 miles on the river. The tour operators do a phenomenal job in getting their client the best experience. Our guide Dennis was great. The itinerary of the tour is very well developed and provides a great experience all day long. Plenty of bottled water and an excellent lunch is included.

Highly recommend! - Our guide and captain were GREAT! We had some rough waters and our captain was very skilled and I felt very safe. The guide took lots of pictures and forwarded them to us. Everyone was kind and we got to experience so many beautiful and interesting things. Great for kids!

Emotional and Amazing Amazon Tour - Great Amazon River experience trip👍👍👍 Guide and captain very friendly service. Enjoy the music and dance performances of the Aboriginal tribes, explore the life of the Aborigines and local residents, see the lovely pink dolphins and swim with them... etc., is a wonderful experience, worth a Recommendation trip👍👍👍 Hopefully this land will continue to last, please everyone Can take good care, so more people can appreciate its beauty Lee.

Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! - The high spot of my trip to the amazon! having been sorely disappointed with a trip on the Grand Amazon expedition boat by Iberostar, this more than made up for 3 days of disappointment. It did what it said it would and did not fail to deliver. our Guide was wonderful and she was well versed in all of the activities. Milton was a star and could not have been more helpful. My only regret is that I did not do the jungle tour with him. it was all very well executed. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to a have a full experience with little time available.

Unique experiences - Our English-speaking guide was friendly, but he appeared relatively young and seemed to lack experience in conducting tours. With time and the opportunity to receive constructive feedback, his skills will undoubtedly improve. Overall, the tour was enjoyable. The walk uphill to the ruins, though short, was quite hot. It would have been helpful to receive a reminder to apply mosquito repellent beforehand. Coming from a much colder climate to this hot environment on our first day in town, we found the speed walking to the ruins a bit challenging. This was done to stay on schedule and meet another group, which unfortunately left little time for us to adjust. While the guide made lighthearted jokes about our need for breaks during the walk, they felt somewhat ill-timed given the circumstances. That said, the visit to the tribe and the excellent lunch at the floating restaurant were highlights of the experience. Seeing the river dolphins was truly unique and made for a memorable day. Oh and the fish farm was a lot of fun, getting to feed the huge fish was a highlight for all of us.

$32.56 Amazon Safari from Manaus vs $100 River Day Tour from Manaus - I'm not someone who writes reviews often, but I felt the responsibility to share this one to help others the way I’ve benefited from other reviews. So here it is: If you want a private boat trip, this option is good for you. However, if you don’t mind sharing a boat with a couple of additional people and want to save $67.44 while getting the same experience, I recommend booking the Amazon Safari from Manaus instead. Aside from the boat trip being private, all other activities are shared with other visitors. I did both this tour and the Amazon jungle tour with this company, and while I was happy with the jungle group tour, I felt the river day tour was not worth paying triple the price of the Amazon Safari for the same activities. I spoke to someone the next day during the jungle visit who did the safari, and that’s how I found out it’s exactly the same. I had asked Milton about the differences before the tour, and he mentioned the only difference was the quietness, but it was too late for me to cancel. The guides are good, but if you’re unsure about which River Day Tour to choose from Manaus, I’d suggest going for the Amazon Safari and saving your $67. Uber is easy and cheap to get to the meeting point.

Ok day trip, very eye opening. - overall it was an ok trip, but it has some disappointing aspects. pickup by milton was smooth and on time at 8, also picked a couple up on the way so it was a tiny group of 3. milton was very nice and friendly. he dropped us off at harbor where we met our boat driver and guide for the day (prepare a tips for each if you can). they both did a good job on the tour. first we did swimming with dolphins which was nice. there are changing rooms at the facility and i was able to keep my bag / wallet in the boat. this was the first bathroom stop if you need, arrived there around 9:15. there is a submerged platform you can stand on where the feeding/baiting happens, but you can also swim out. the dolphins are not shy and will brush across your legs and body to get to the food. this is the best look at them you will get. then we did a village stop, where locals performed some dances and music. half the performers looked pretty bored and unmotivated. they have souvenir stalls all around the main room and they do take credit cards but the prices were more than 2x the souvenir shop you stop at during lunch, so despite wanting to support locals, I definitely do not recommend shopping here. they also do group picture with each visitor. then they will show you a table with some local food like smoked and boiled fish, some cut up fruit, yuca, yams, bamboo, and ants you can sample. also drinks you can buy. tip basket on the side. hygiene is very questionable here and the knife they were using to cut the fruit looked very dirty. also several people from the culture show had immediately changed into their casual clothes, breaking the immersion. then we went to a floating lunch buffet place. good lunch, scary bathrooms, lovely views, huge souvenir shop attached. lots of the same souvenirs as in manaus or from the previous stop. credit card machines available. then we went to the lily pads lake and jungle hike which was very disappointing. Per website description "After lunch we'll visit the lake of the Water Lilies to take some pictures and enjoy the amazing landscape." they only tell you on the way that unfortunately the lake is now completely dry and the lily pads are all dead. this should be made clear up front in the description. it felt dishonest. the walk to the lookout was less than 5 min and had no interesting views. instead you will dock on a beach completely covered with washed up garbage. kids will run towards you with captured animals like monkeys, sloth, macaws, for photo-ops (20 reals per animal). the guide warned us about this ahead of time, which I appreciated it. but it was still heartbreaking to see the distressed captured animals. the sloth was young and clearly crying and terrified. animal exploitation is a very ugly look. but most alarming of all was getting off the boat and onto the shore while there was sharp broken glass everywhere, very easy to trip and fall on to. especially for the couple with us who only had flip-flops. maybe not a problem doing the wet season. i do not understand why we did this stop as it took away a lot more than it added. the white sand beach activity was also not possible during the dry season but at least i knew because i asked before booking. then we went to another floating village to play-fish with pirarucu, which was nice. they had a macaw on the property but please don't scream at the macaw like some of the other idiot tourists were doing while also recording. then we went to the meeting of the water which was really nice. though on a separate tour i got a much better look at it, so your mileage may vary. the rides up and down the river were my favorite and you see how life here has completely adapted to the amazon river environment. the trash everywhere was really sad, the village and lily pad stops were disappointing. overall ok tour that was quite eye opening.
