Great tour of highlights on River in Manaus - This is an excellent tour that provides you an opportunity to see many key sights outside of Manaus. We were picked up on time and taken to our speed boat for our tour. We swam with the pink dolphins, had and excellent visit to a native village, lunch at a floating village, saw the large Lilly pads and the meeting of the waters. Our tour guide was very informative and spoke good English. If you are only in Manaus for a day this tour provides all the highlights.

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.

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.

Fun Day on the River! - Trip started out badly as driver was over an hour late and we had to kerp trying to get updates. After that things moved smoothly.
Great full day on the river. Highlight qas swimming with pink.dolphins in the wild. Bucket list! Another special thing was going to a fish farm where we got to fish for the contained monster fish, pirarucu. In the wild they weigh 400-600 lbs and are 3 meters long. When they grabbed your fish, it would take all your strength to hold on to your pole. Village visit qas delightful. Meeting of the Waters is more visible from our ship, since high up. We could see Ama#on, dirty brown, running side by side with the very dark Negro- not mixing.
Dennis our guide was great!

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.

Poor guide and tour planning - We were very disappointed with the boat conditions and the guide. We were suppose to have a max of 10 people but we had 12 and not enough seats to sit on. The boat did not protect enough from the rain. To make things worse, the tour was supposed to to be English. It he spoke Portuguese more to the Portuguese guests and very little English even though there were more English speaking guests.
The tour started late and then at the half way they added 3 more people when we did not have enough seats to begin with.
