Lovely! - The most complete tour you can do on a short notice! Lots of little experiences that will lead to a lifetime memories! [At the tribe zone you are gonna get bombarded by kids with different animals, they expect payment so pick carefully who and what you are taking your picture with!]

Absolutely Amazing - Great experience, friendly guide and good food served! Going up and down the river was extremely relaxing, the feeling of being able to see the pink dolphins in their natural habitat and having them all around you can’t really be described, it was a dream come true!

Wish our guide spoke English more than 2% of the time! - The highlight was swimming with the dolphins! Fabulous! However, we were the only 2 English speakers out of 16 people. Francisco spoke Portuguese 98% of the time. We felt left behind. Tour promised English speaking guide, perhaps a mechanical translator.

Only valid for the boat ride - I didn't like it and it's that kind of tourist pick. I came back disappointed and a little sad for the little pets. I didn't find it cool how to dive with the boots, because they don't guide people before and the boots only come, of course, because of the fish they offer. Eventually people tap the breath of the pet (passing their hand over their head), scared and barking the animal and screaming again. Nobody knows me that it doesn't end up stressing the animal. Still, about the dive with the bot, on the same platform, the bathroom has the exit from the open sewer directly in Rio. That is, on one side bathroom right in the same water that a few meters on the other side people enter to hit with the boots. Obviously I've been away from all this. Such as pirarucu fishing. A small tank full of big fish and people throwing bait fish just to watch the pirarucu jump. Meeting the waters is always cool! Lunch buffet is always that thing, not everyone is reasonable. I found the tribe experience terrible. I visited Tuyuka. A precarious and extremely dirty place, with plastic garbage and other stuff everywhere. Indians with animals of lazy species, monkeys and giboias offering for you to pay and take a photo. It's depressing to see what they do with the animals. They have Wi-Fi, iPhone and card machine to paint and for souvenirs. Reminders that are identical to those of Manaus, but they say they did. You say, after a dance, the guy leave a little money for the pajé in the pot. Really nothing I've experienced makes sense on this walk. The Indian doesn’t make sense, what they do with the animals, the lack of care with the nature in the environment (waste) and the attempt to get money as if it were a show or something real. Oh, the whole thing happens under a blue plastic canvas tent. Joke ready. If you want a nice, legitimate experience without any money blackmail, I recommend a visit to the riverside communities of the Juma River. These are descendants of Indians, who still live on land and river, and always have a nice conversation. The jungle hotels are in my opinion the best experience option.
