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.

  I work for an airline and I travel a lot for my job. Unfortunately, due to the nature of my schedule, I am unable to book activities in destinations I... read more visit too far in advance. I got lucky with Amazon Private Tours by Milton Fernandez. Milton, the owner and our guide, managed to put together a trip for myself and my crew with very short notice and boy am I glad he did! He was communicative and professional, and customized the tour to our specific requests. Six of us did a tour lasting about 5 hours where he piloted a small boat up the Rio Negro River, the largest tributary flowing into the Amazon. We got a chance to interact with the pink dolphins in their natural environment, and as a vegetarian who is passionate about animal welfare, I have to admit I was leery of this activity at first. There are many animal interactive activities I have passed on around the world because of their exploitative nature, but I didn't feel that at all with this one. We were actually swimming in the river and the dolphins come over of their own free will, of course attracted by fish snacks. It was amazing to see these creatures in their natural habitat, they were so beautiful. We then continued upriver to visit a tribe of indigenous people. I don't know if they put on a show for visitors or not, but I honestly felt that they were happy to see us. The chief was charming and seemed sincere as he welcomed us warmly into his village and his tribe. Everyone in the tribe seemed friendly and as interested in us as we were with them. I learned a lot about their culture, listened to some of their music, and had a chance to participate in a dance with the whole tribe. We all LOVED it! I have had countless memorable travel experiences, and this one ranks right up there in the top five. I think I can speak for my crew members, since I know they were all delighted with our 5 hours on the Rio Negro. One thing to consider, make sure you have some Brazilian cash to be able to buy some of the handicrafts from the tribe. Thank you Milton for an amazing afternoon! Obrigada!

  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.
