Great trip, best solution to see Amazon in one day - Very good trip, and very good solution to see Amazon in one day. There are hotels right next to Manaus airport, and the guide picks you up from hotel and drives you back to hotel. The day is packed with attractions: seeing the jungle, swimming with dolphins, fishing, spotting caimans, swimming in a motorboat, seeeing sunset. Good guide, helpful, trustworthy and with English.

Fun day in the jungle - This is a perfect tour if you are only in Manaus for a short time and want to get the most out of a day. We had a fantastic time. Speed boat and canoe rides on the river, piranha fishing, pink river dolphins, spider and squirrel monkeys, a tarantula, and caimans. So grateful to our guide Fabio for sharing his love for the jungle with us. Many thanks to Milton for organizing the tours, promptly responding to messages and safely transporting us to and from. A highlight of our vacation.

The best tour in Manaus!! - Awesome tour!! The day is packed but the time is very enjoyable and the guides are amazing. From pickup to drop off the guides speak English well and share information on the area. It is the best tour that we have taken in Manaus!! The price is super reasonable considering all of the activities that you do. The hike was only arduous during short spurts so anyone at a moderate fitness level should book this with no concern. It was a truly special day that we will always treasure.

Wouldn't change a thing! - HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The most amazing experience and tour of the Amazon jungle. Our guide, Fabhino, was incredible and was local to the area so brought a wealth of knowledge. This tour has so much packed in a day. From hiking in the jungle to a delicious lunch in a floating house to fishing and finding baby crocodiles when it got dark, every step was well thought out. I've recommended this tour to all friends and family.

Definitely a must do. The... - Definitely a must do. The guides were great and everything was just as stated.We didn’t get to see any animals during our hike but we did see lots of bugs and even ate one. The pink dolphins were amazing. I wish I could say I caught a piranha but I wasn’t that quick I just fed them🤦🏻‍♀️ but other people caught them and that was cool too! Even lunch was great the smell of the charcoal and fresh fish, what’s not great about that.😋

Good ideas, nice setting but needs to review the organization and safety - Overall it is good. Group is too large as only 1 guide can communicate in a language other then Portuguese, and the "assistant" is useless - i do not think he cares much for what he does at that shows. The main guide is great and knowledgeable, provides a lot of info but for the walk in the forest, group is too large as we have o walk in line and if you are not within the first 4 persons walking close to the guide you loose much of the explanations. Further with large groups chances of obrserving any fauna is greatly reduced fr the commotion in creates. Also 2 boats is not good when you want to take pictures as somehow the other boat is always in the way. The boats are tiny, which is fine when you are on the way but getting in and out carrying your day pack, and if you have a little bit of camera equipment is awkward enough as the boats are wobbly and none of the guides attempt to give you a hand. Specially upon returning to base when it is pitch dark and no light on the dock/beach. Need to review the itinerary as the last 30 or 40 minutes while the boats are going to the observation point for the sunset we are actually traveling (east bound) away from the sun set so you loose all that good "time" to observe the sun going down and when you finally arrive and turn around you merely have 10 minutes of "observation time". Also, for the price paid need a slightly larger car for the hotel pick-up and the 1.5 hr drive (each way) to the location. Very small car for 4 adults with a driver taking more then is 1/2 of the front area, the 2 in the back had no leg room (worse then the most basic of a basic economy cabin!!!). Not sure how the driver could see the road in the darkness as the lights (cruising or high beam) barely made the first 3 meters in front of the car visible........ Really did not feel-safe. Overall you see interesting things but safety is an issue and way over priced for the way this is organized. Would not book again with this out-fit
