5.00The trip over all was great and deserves 5 stars . The tour guide Aldinei has done a great job , very knowledgeable about the area and very adventurous as well , he made us enjoy very much all the tour activities .. the boat is small with 4 cabins for the guests so it feels very much private .. the cook Nicie has made great dishes for us, the caption made everything smooth during the boat ride all through the trip . The views from the boat were fantastic and the wild life viewing trips were amazing ,. the only comment I would add that may make things better is that it was not mentioned in the tour itinerary when I booked that the night on day 2 we sleep in the jungle , apparently that was the case and we were not prepared , that place has no bathroom or electricity or blankets or bug nets , only hammock, drinking water and dinner that they provide at the jungle and that is all until next morning and the main boat does not stay near the picnic place , has to navigate with a small boat to get in and out of that place ... but when we felt not comfortable with that Aldinei accommodated us right away and send us back to sleep on the boat after dinner in the jungle . Thanks again Aldinei . I highly recommend this trip for anyone would like to explore in the Amazon for few days.

I Caught the Piranha!

5.00This tour is DEFINITELY the highlight so far of my eight-week trip in South America. In the weeks before this, I had seen some great sights in Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama & Costa Rica, all very fast-paced, city-based activities, so it was VERY welcome to have some chill-out time on the water. The gentle pace of the boat travel was just SO peaceful. And, I never thought I could really be comfortable in a hammock but swinging back and forth on that top deck as the boat moved, was AMAZING! We got close up and personal with Alligators and Pink Dolphins. Incredible! And even though there were three of us fishing for piranha, I was the only one to catch one! And the boat's chef cooked it up perfectly for lunch! Now, that brings me to the crew! All the meals were simple, tasty and FAB! Ship's Captain & Assistant just SO professional and organised. And of course, my Guide not only had all the information at his fingertips, but was an incredible Karaoke Talent too! A lot of fun! They were all just SO friendly and helpful, and knowledgable, plus they knew exactly when to ask me what I would like to do, and also when to just give me space and time to relax. I needed relaxing, peaceful space and time mixed with time learning about nature and culture, and that's EXACTLY what I got! It was really special to meet locals for a jungle walk, learning all about jungle medicine on the second last day, then witnessing tribal dances and music on the final day. Very, very special. I am forever grateful for this experience! Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!
I haven't visited Manaus in 40 years.

5.00Me and my wife went on a 5 days / 4 nights Amazon boat tour and it has been an incredible learning experience and a nice adventure. From the beginning, communication, via e-mail and WhatsApp with Leonardo Mendes (the Tour Operator Advisor), has been really good. He would respond very promptly and provide complete information about everything we asked. We were picked up by a driver from our hotel in Manaus and Leonardo met with us when we boarded the boat. He introduced Anailson (our guide), Edimilson (the captain) and his son (in charge of the boat) and Maria (our cook). They were all very polite and kind and we had a very friendly interaction over the following 5 days. We sailed with no incidents, we had great local food for lunch and dinner + a lot of fresh juices with every meal. Our room, although a bit small, had a private bathroom and quite comfortable beds. On the boat's deck we would relax on hammocks while sailing and it was very relaxing and enjoyable. Anailson, our guide, planned morning and afternoon activities for us and we got to have a glimpse at what the Amazon is about: arapaima feeding, interacting with dolphins, visiting a rubber museum, fishing piranhas, caiman spotting, trekking and spending a night in the jungle, visiting a local community, sharing stories and info from the area and much more. He speaks very good English and was very kind to share with us much more than you would expect - aspects from the social life in the Amazon area, economic aspect, political issues and answers for all our curiosities. At the end of the tour we were driven back to our hotel and a few days later the same driver took us to the Ayahuasca Ceremony. We also booked this through Leonardo and it has been an unexpected journey to say the least. Organized just outside of Manaus, in a discreet and pleasant ambient, it is the real thing and offers a subjective experience worth trying. Overall - the Agency (through Leonardo and all the other members involved in our experiences) provided professional service that made our experience very pleasant, enjoyable, comfortable and safe.
It was an amazing tour! Our guide...
