The boat trip to the flooded forest was absolutely amazing! Milton drove us to meet the guide providing a great conversation and a lot of interesting facts about Amazon &... read more Brazil.
Our guide Fabio was amazing in navigating the forest & spotting wildlife. We spotted 2 sloths, plenty of monkeys, a cayman, and a tarantula. The night in the forest was just magical and impossible to describe! One just needs to feel it themselves.
We were very happy to discover that "swimming with dolphins" experience was involving only dolphins living freely in the river as we try to avoid places holding encaptivated animals for tourists' amusement.
The group was small (3-5ppl) and the whole experience was very authentic. The opposite of "a tourist trap".
We had an amazing time in the Amazon jungle, seeing alligators, fishing piranhas, swimming with pink dolphins and enjoying exceptional views of Amazon river. Totally impressed by the exotics and... read more indigenous tribe dance and customs.
This tour was absolutely MAGIC, worth TEN STARS!!!!! Fabinho is the best guide you could wish for, so kind, friendly, and super knowledgeable. It's clear he loves what he does... read more and excels at it. Swimming with the pink dolphins, piranha fishing, and the amazing hike through the rainforest created a truly unforgettable experience.
Similarly, the next day, we visited an indigenous tribe along the banks of the Rio Negro and had lunch at a floating home on the river. It was precious and our guide for that day, Thales. was absolutely wonderful as well.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR!

10 Star River Day Tour! - The river day tour from Manaus was incredible and worth every penny! I’d give it 10 stars if I could. From the moment we booked and were contacted by Milton... read more we felt well cared for. The trip is so well planned and each experience was wonderfully interactive and interesting. Milton, our driver, and our guide all spoke English making the experience so much better for our family. Our guide was so informative and friendly and attentive. I grew up in the area and still learned so much and did several new things I’ve never done - like swimming with a pink dolphin! Amazing! From pick up at our hotel to drop off we loved our day! This trip is perfect for young and old - we had from a 6 year old to an 80 year old in our group and everyone had a great time! The cherry on top was the next day when Milton contacted me that our child had left something behind, he immediately drove nearly 30 min to our hotel and dropped it off for us! Incredible! I can’t review this highly enough! Book with Milton and I promise you will not be sorry!
We hired Milton Fernandes for a tour focusing on the history of the rubber industry in the Manaus region. He was terrific. We are American, have good historical knowledge and... read more significant interest, and know zero Portuguese. A native of the area, he speaks excellent English. We appreciated his ability to tailor the discussion to some of our specific interests, and very much appreciated getting accurate information. Some tours will focus on area lore and urban myths -- this was much more historically grounded than that.
When we had some time later in our trip, we booked a different tour with Milton, one that had swimming with the red/pink dolphins and was great for a family group with kids.
Milton also pointed us to a few good restaurants, and we appreciate that.
Highly recommended.
O Milton foi um guia excepcional. Os lugares que visitamos foram ótimos e ele sempre tinha informações interessantes pra adicionar ao roteiro. Foi super flexível com nossos interesses. Super amigável... read more e educado e fez o passeio ser bem melhor do que eu esperava. Recomendo demais pra quem tem pouco tempo. Quando voltar à Manaus vou entrar em contato direto com ele pra passeios mais longos.
