Meeting of Waters
Our day starts at 7:30 am when we pick you up from your hotel in Manaus. We head to the Ceasa Port where you will board a speedboat along the Rio Negro. As we navigate the waters, the first stop on the trip is the floating village of Catalão. Here we will visit a fish farm where you can see the Giant Arapaima Gigas, the largest scaled fish in the world. You will be able to feed them and feel how strong they are! After visiting the fish farm, we proceed by speedboat to the meeting of the waters. Here the Rio Negro and the Solimões River meet but don’t mix. Afterward, we continue along the river to the Careiro village. From there we will continue by road for about an hour to Maçarico lake. The final leg is by speedboat and you will arrive at the lodge at about 11:30 am. At noon, delicious local cuisine will be served for lunch.
At 3:00 pm, we will head out on a canoe trip. On this trip, you’ll see the world-famous Amazon Pink River Dolphin, as well as an array of colorful birds. We’ll also get a chance to do some piranha fishing. We’ll stay out on the water until about 6:30 pm when we’ll watch the beautiful sunset, and at 7 pm we’ll return to the lodge for dinner. We head back on the waters at 8:30 pm in search of the fearsome Cayman. Your jungle guide will snatch a Cayman out of the water, allowing you to learn more about it up close, after which it’ll be carefully returned to its habitat.

The second day of our trip starts early, at 5 am. We will depart from the lodge at 5:30 am on a motorized boat to a serene spot to watch the jungle waking up to a new sunrise. Afterward, we head back to the lodge for a hearty breakfast in preparation for our morning trek. During the walk, your jungle guide will share valuable knowledge about the Amazon. You will learn many interesting things, such as the medicinal plants of the Amazon, as well as all the insects that call it home. You’ll also have a chance to see many of the native wildlife, like cheeky monkeys! Once the trek has been completed, it’s back to the lodge for lunch.
At 3 pm our afternoon activities start. We’ll take a canoe to Várzea forest, an area flooded with many small channels and waterways. You’ll get a unique perspective of the Amazon, learning much about the flora and fauna found here. During the dry season, this trip is done on foot since there is no water from August to March. This is a good area for spotting animals like monkeys, sloths, and some birds. When we finish, it’s back to the lodge for dinner.)
Our day starts at 7 am when breakfast is served. At 8 am we’ll head out and visit a local family that lives along the river. You will learn about their simple, but wonderful way of life. You will see how they grow their own food and have the chance to taste local fruits. On the way back to the lodge, you will have the opportunity to swim in the river, having fun the way the local Amazonian people do. At 1:00 pm we’ll head back to Manaus, either to the airport or your hotel. We expect to arrive at around 4:00 pm.

We had an absolutely amazing time with Joshua’s Amazon Expeditions! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, exciting, and deeply memorable. Our guide, Julio, was outstanding—super knowledgeable, incredibly engaging, and fantastic with our kids. He made the jungle come alive with stories and facts, and his patience and warmth really stood out. The Tapiri Floating Lodge was a perfect base. The hosts were welcoming, the lodges were clean and comfortable, and the food was genuinely lovely. Even our picky 10-year-old happily ate everything offered—which says a lot! And of course, the Amazon itself was just spectacular. The wildlife, the river, the sounds—everything exceeded our expectations. I can’t recommend this trip enough for families or anyone looking to experience the Amazon in a safe, enriching, and unforgettable way.

Over the top! Our guide Ken was extremely knowledgeable and went out of his way to explain details of the rain forest and how tourism will help protect their environment. The lodge was basic but extremely clean and air conditioned. The food was basic with fish, chicken and beef but so delicious. I highly recommend this tour!

This was an incredible adventure. Kennedy, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the area. He could name all the birds and monkeys. The activities were varied and suitable for the rainforest adventure. The lodge was also nice. Nelson, the owner, was kind. The food was tasty, and the sleeping accommodations were simple yet appealing. Our room even had an air conditioner. Don’t forget to spy on the bats in the dark near the lodge.

Lodge was nice but water was brown. Fortunately, the lodge provided refillable drinking water, which we used to brush our teeth. Bring your own shampoo and soap. And don't forget the repellent. Our guide, Daniel, was a passionate guide. He did not only share information but even bought local snacks for us to experience. I liked David, the local guide, as well. Very patient in looking for fauna for us to see. Though he didn't know how to speak English, he told us stories about the Amazon through Daniel. Very happy with this pair.

We had a great time with our peer travelers and our tour guide Motta was great. He spotted all the wild animals and shared his knowledge of Amazon untiredly. We enjoyed the trip very much. Wish there is a 4.8 rating instead of either star or 4 star rating, the only hesitation we had is about the facility. The water from shower, faucet, and toilet flush were all dark brown with large unknown debris, same happened to our peers' rooms. It appeared that water filter system is barely there. We barely wash face, and had to use bottled water to brush teeth. If you are sensitive on water quality then you may have to consider this factor. Otherwise we enjoyed the trip.
