Great way to see the Amazon! - What an excellent experience! My friend and I completed the 4D 3N tapiri lodge stay. The transport from our initial accomodation in Manaus out to the lodge was seamless. Our guide Marcos was friendly, professional and knowledgable. For two young women we felt very safe. All the people that work to make the expedition happen were very accomodating. The food provided was great as well! We were able to see such rich wildlife from birds to sloths and caymans. There was a nice stretch of downtime at the hottest part of the day and then out for a different activity on the boat. It was a great adventure, I would recommend this trip with friends or family. I would definitely return!

Amazing!! - Everything was amazing. The different activities we were taken on. The food was incredible. I am gluten free, and they made sure to accommodate my diet into the included meals. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to explore the Amazon. They pick you up from the hotel, and they reached out to me before hand asking if I had any accommodates they needed to know about as well as my for sure pick up destination, and then they take you back to the hotel of your choosing.

Pousada Amazon Tapiri (Amazon Floating Lodge) - Our trip and stay at the Amazon floating lodge was an extraordinary experience. From hotel pick up in Manaus and travel to deep inside the Amazon to the floating lodge, and then back to Manaus was seamlessly organized. The lodge was comfortable, the food was simple and very tasty, the staff were polite and helpful, and to top it all our extremely knowledgeable guide (Cobra) for the canoe trips. Cobra's English speaking skills were very impressive, and we told him that. He accepted that with great humility. If you want an English guide - ask for Cobra. We had a great experience. The only area that needs attention - our toilet flush was not working very well, but we managed after borrowing a bucket.

Bucket list trip exceeded expectations - An excellent experience with an amazing guide, Kenrick Lacruz. He grew up here and so understands the rivers, the jungle, and the wildlife. One of the highlights for me was a night in hammocks in the jungle with fish & ‘jungle’ rice cooked over a fire. Toucans chattered away. A nighttime spearfishing expedition yielded several fish, including a bass, which we had for lunch the next day. Highly recommend this trip and Kenrick!

Amazing tour - very well organized by the company - Amazing tour. Very well organized. We did 4days 3 nights tour at the Tapiri floating lodge with one night stay in the jungle. The itinerary was swapped a little bit between the multiple days, but they made sure they covered everything that was advertised. My tour guide was Toniel and he was pretty good. And the entire staff in the company are pretty good and caring, including the captains that drive the boats, and the cooks that prepared the meals. They all make a good team, helping each other out - just like one big family. I don’t speak Portuguese and thought it would be difficult during the trip; but they coordinate so well for the activities and everything would be so seamless and effortless. I have requested for a different drop off location and it was immediately accepted and honored. Full marks for customer service. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Incredible experience, we feel so fortunate to have had such a good trip! - We had an absolutely incredible experience, we were so fortunate with not only the animals we saw but our guide Jamal had so much experience and was able to work really well with our driver João who took us to all the best parts. So many memories, but having the monkeys board our boat was fantastic, Piranha fishing was great fun and sleeping in the jungle with lightning going on in the background awesome.

This is a wonderful... - This is a wonderful introduction into the Amazon rain forest. Everyday was a different experience either hiking in the jungle; boating through the water flooded bunches of trees; boating down the river looking for and finding all kinds of birds, dolphins both grey and pink. In addition there was opportunity to swim in front of our cabins and visit a working farm close to the lodge. The cabins and their furnishings and acutriments were basic but did the job needed. The AC worked well. The food was also basic fare, but healthy and abundant which wasn't a bad thing for us! Our guide Ken was most knowlegeable about the Amazon and its flora and fauna in addition to other various topics. Gustavo was a great navigator on the water and found animals particularly sloths hanging out in the trees. He seemed to have a sixth sense about these things. ' Overall a very enjoyable experience and would recommend to anyone I talk to. There was good value for the price paid to have this experience.

Unforgettable Experience - thank you! - My partner and I had an incredible time on this trip and truly an experience we will never forget. The journey there was an adventure in itself from boat to land to boat again, but all worked very efficiently and smoothly. A special thanks to Yamal for the guidance and activities we did, it was a great balance of adventure and relaxation. Also kudos to him for his extensive knowledge on all the animals, plants and birds!! The Amazon is a special place. Also João was a brilliant local guide, expertly using his machete to take us through the jungle. The floating lodge itself was in beautiful surroundings with river dolphins! The room itself was large + had air con which was glorious due to the outside heat. The family who ran the lodge made us some lovely meals, so thanks to them as well. Brilliant few days all round but would highly recommend to do a night in the jungle to round off the experience! Thanks to everyone involved in making the trip happen!

Don’t hesitate and book now! - Great Amazon experience that was exactly what we were looking for. Yamal was great and knew alot about the jungle which made for great chats during the activities. There was also plenty of downtime to just disconnect and reset away from the hustle and bustle of life. All made even more blissful if staying in the floating lodge where you can watch the rain hit the river and the dolphins and monkeys playing around.
