Milton was great before the trip with making contact as soon as I had booked. He collected us on the day as well, he was super knowledgeable about the area,... read more giving us a good starting point for the rest of the day.

We met our guide at the river and soon headed off in the boat. The whole area was at high water, it was fascinating to see all the drowned buildings that in a few months would be back in use. Our first activity was the walk, this was an easy walk (if you watch out for tree roots), the pace was slow, but only because there was so much to see and learn about. Having a local guide, meant that we were finding out how they lived off the land.

Lunch was a varied buffet with fresh fish at one of the eco lodges, which was very peaceful. After lunch we swam with the pink dolphins. This activity works even if you are a non-swimmer, you stand on a platform in the river and the dolphins swim up to you - it is so cool, they are really inquisitive. At the same place we saw the pirarucu, they were huge. If you get the chance to try them, they are also very tasty.

I was a bit rubbish at the piranha fishing, but others were more successful. We learnt how they are used by the locals and prepared. Our last activity was the night tour to look for caiman. It still amazes me how the locals can navigate the waterways in the pitch black. Despite this we found a small caiman in the shallows.

It was a long, but very enjoyable day and a great introduction to the Amazon region. I'd highly recommend the trip.

  My brother and I took this 8 hour caves and waterfalls day tour and had a fantastic time! Our small group of five people (including our guide Mario) was a... read more perfect size. The tour started with being picked up from our hotel and driving almost two hours outside of Manaus to reach the first waterfall. The waterfall was impressive, with a huge volume of water and strong current. We were able to jump/dive into the water and swim around in a safe location under the watchful eye of Mario. We then walked around one kilometer to the next waterfall which was equally impressive. After that we hopped back into the car and drove into the town to have lunch. Following lunch we drove out to a spectacular grotto where we spent time taking pictures, walking through the beautiful surroundings and enjoying the waterfalls and caves.
Insider tip, if you want the waterfalls and grottos to yourselves, book your tour for a weekday not a weekend. This will ensure that you do not have other people crowding your pictures and ruining the tranquility of the nature.
Mario was a great guide, giving us information about each place we visited as well as local flora and fauna.
We arrived back to our hotel around 18:00 tired but happy with our experience. If you want a true Amazon experience complete with nature, swimming, and a whole lot of knowledge than I would reccommend booking with this company and asking for Mario.

  We did the All Day River Tour.

The highlight of swimming with the pink river dolphins was everything we could wish for.

"Fishing" for pirarucu was more... read more fun than we expected. The fish make a loud clapping sound as they grab for a bait fish tied on a string. We each got 3 baits, and you then get to tug-of-war with the strong piarucu until he pulls the bait fish off the string.

My husband requested a small extra experience, and Milton was able to add that to our trip. Milton also was able to change our trip schedule last minute when our boat arrival time changed twice!

Our direct guide for most of the trip was Fabio who is a native of a nearby village and told us so much about the plants & animals & fish & culture in perfect English.
We will do this same adventure again if we ever return to Manaus!

  Milton totally delivered an informative, enjoyable and time efficient tour of Manaus’ main sights. His english language skills were perfect. Very effective at proactively sharing... read more interesting facts as we efficiently went from site to site. He is also quick to laugh and smile making him a great companion for a tour of any length. I highly recommend him.

  This place was Phenomenal! Spent 3 days with Milton and his team and Manaus. Milton managed to fit everything in comfortably, very accommodating.
Highlight was definitely the Amazon Jungle... read more Experience Tour and that sunset over the 'ocean' WOW!
Thank you Milton, Fabinho,Elder, Rambo!

  We first went swimming with river dolphins. They come right up to you and touch you. You can touch them too (just not on the nose or head... read more , or you might freak them out).

Then we went trekking in the jungle, learning a lot about the flora and catching glimpses of lizards.

After lunch, we went fishing for piranhas. At first, I didn't have the hang of it but thanks to tips from the local guide, I ending up catching a few. It's probably the most fun I've ever had fishing in my life.

We then went on a beach to watch the sunset before going to catch wild caimans! The first one we encountered was about 1.5 m (5 feet) long. I couldn't believe our guide attempted to catch it with his bare hands. It was a tough one, though, and it escaped. The guide then caught a few smaller ones to show us their physical aspects and to have me hold them.

It was a great time!

  My friend and I had priceless moments on tours with
Milton and his team. Going to see Tatuyos tribe, the
floating village, the meeting of the waters + spending a... read more /> day in the jungle and visiting waterfalls and caves was an
incredible experience, Milton definitely made our trip. He's
friendly, communicative, his history knowledge and great
English made everything even better. It's hard to find
words to define it and also the food.oh my goodness
me. If visiting the rain forest is on your bucket list, l'd
highly suggest adding Milton's contact on it (Amazon
private tour), he's the best. For you to have no doubts,
I've added some photos of our unforgettable experience.
Over a thousand photos were taken!!!

  Além de ser um cara com uma história de vida, por si só, sensacional, o Milton oferece muito mais do que um passeio turístico. É uma imersão completa pela cultura... read more do Amazonas. Na cidade, ele conhece cada viela e esquina. Pelos rios, ele nos conduz a passeios incríveis com muito conforto e privacidade, já que o seu barco atende a grupos menores, o que torna tudo mais especial. Conheci o Milton há quatro anos e agora, de volta a Manaus, fiz questão de que ele fosse o meu guia novamente. E ele não me decepcionou: sabendo que iríamos depois para um hotel de selva, montou um itinerário exclusivo somente com os passeios que não estavam inclusos no meu pacote e com direito a alguns improvisos, de acordo com a nossa vontade. Eu amei. Meu marido amou!
Não há quem não fique feliz. E ele atende em 4 idiomas!!! Difícil é não querer voltar.
Até a próxima, amigo!
