Authentic experience of nature & history on the Amazon! - What a fantastic experience! This tour ends up taking a little longer, because your guide really lets you see and experience nature up close. You really get an authentic tour, no other boats come here with tourists. So don't hesitate, but book this tour. This is nothing boring with the tourist traps (the tours from the harbor that go up the river en masse with boats full of tourists and have to wait for other tourist boats at every stop). With this tour you will fish for piranhas in a secluded spot in the mangrove forest from your own boat, you will take a mighty boat trip through nature and see the animals up close, you will have lunch at the guide’s house - very private and secluded in the middle of the jungle / river. Then you walk with him through the jungle and he will teach you all about plants and animals that live there. Paolo the guide is a warm personality full of humor! He will take you to the hidden places and really give you an authentic experience of the nature and history of the Amazon! Our children of 14, 12 and 3 loved it too!

Unforgettable experience - I loved the tour of the Anavilhanas archipelago. The guides were great and the landscapes cut by the River Negro are lush. I considered as a highlight the walk in the forest conducted by Paulo, from the community of Ariaú. On the journey, both by boat and on the trail, he shared incredible knowledge of this Mood that contributes to conservation. The homemade lunch at your house was delicious and I felt very well received in this experience. I recommend for those who like connection with nature and the culture of the local communities.

Excellent - An amazing experience! I toured with my 60-year-old dad and 29-year-old me, and we were both fascinated. Daniel, our guide, was excellent: he has an impressive knowledge about wildlife and nature, and his layout was excellent throughout the tour. We saw dolphins, alligators, monkeys, sloth bears, butterflies, many birds and much more. The tour description doesn't do justice to how amazing it actually is! In addition, we had the opportunity to swim in the river and catch piranhas. The tour lasted more than 4 hours, starting at 8 a.m. and ending at 5 p.m. I highly recommend it!

Excellent tour guide - amazing day! - We highly recommend this trip! We booked this tour and ended up being the only couple for a ride down a river tributary with Francisco and boat driver. We enjoyed a nice boat ride and took a hike in the rainforest while learning about the animals, birds and plants. We were provided with a fabulous fish lunch with rice cooked over a fire. We visited a family of squirrel monkeys and fed them bananas. Also boated out into the Rio Negro with flat mirror finish water without a sole in site for exceptional photos. This was the highlight to our week long stay in the area. We’d highly recommend this tour with Francisco!

Amazing adventure in the Amazons - This was one of the best experience we had during our stay in Manaus. We did a few other day trips but this was the best and where we got to experience the real Amazons with little or no commercialization. The trip felt exclusive and was tailored to our family and interests. We are a family of 4 with two teenagers and another traveler joined us. The guides Francisco, Saza and Nan were amazing. They reached out to us via whatapp, as soon as we booked the trip and guided us on everything, including what to wear and what to bring on the trip. So we were well prepared. They were on time to pick us up and took us to the boat launch. Francisco was excellent and explained everything well in English. We travelled in the canoe through the river and at one part walked into the jungle. They explained a lot about the jungle, survival skills, different vegetation etc. Its was an interesting walk and our teenagers were very engaged. They answered all the questions we had. We enjoyed our swim in Rio Negro, saw a lot of wild life and birds from the boats as we made a slow progress on the river with the cool breeze. The squirrel moneys were a hit with our kids.
We enjoyed every bit of the trip and I highly recommend this adventure. Thank you to our amazing guides for the wonderful time we had and the memories we made.

Unforgettable - Very good everything. Don't miss it. The guides know a lot and are very gentle. The climb to the tree is exhausting but worth it. A unique experience.
