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!!!

  We spent a wonderful day with Fabio, a local Tour Guide. It was a lot of fun and a unique experience we don't want to miss. If you want to... read more discover the rainforest in just one day, I definitely recommend this tour. Even the pickup at our hotel was perfect. After the tour they brought us back again to our hotel.

  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.

  Eu estive em Manaus algumas vezes...Na última vez estava trabalhando e cheguei antes para aproveitar a cidade. Antes de sair do Rio estava buscando um roteiro para... read more fazer com adultos e crianças, conversando com uma amiga moradora da cidade ela me indicou o Milton Fernande! Ele presta um serviço incrível! Além de ser muito educado e gentil, posso afirmar que é um guia completo, narra fatos históricos e científicos da região.
Foi uma alegria ter o Milton como nosso guia!!
Ele é pontual, tem um transfer limpo e bem cuidado. O passeio de barco é seguro e divertido!
Indico sempre o trabalho dele.

  Being our first time in the Amazon I would highly recommend this tour. We thought 12 hours might be a lot but Fabinho our tour guide did a fantastic job... read more showing us parts of the rainforest and teaching us about its different occupants. He's an amazing tour guide. We got to hike through the Amazon, fish for piranhas, see pink dolphins who were rather playful (some of us swam with them), and hold baby alligators. The tambaqui fish for lunch was very good. Our driver Milton was nice and picked us up on time tat 8am at the hotel. He even answered a bunch of our questions about the area. Overall we had an amazing experience in the Amazon and Fabinho did a superior job guiding us through it.

  I took the 12 hour jungle tour. Worth every penny it was everything it promised. My guide was Fabinho his English was surprisingly good. I definitely totally recommend this business... read more & Fabinho.

  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.

  We had a brilliant time with Milton and Fabio on this experience. Both were kind, funny, knowledgeable and welcoming. Fabio even went out of his way to make us homemade... read more food for our dietary requirements as we stayed in his guest house.

We got to see the meeting of the waters, the floating villages, meet a tribe, swim with river dolphins, trek through the jungle, sample local food, see the sunset and the beautiful night’s sky filled with stars. Any activities we didn’t want to participate in, such as Piranha fishing, was absolutely fine with the guides and they tailored our experience for us wherever possible.

Milton and Fabio were great at spotting wildlife such as squirrel monkeys, alligators, tarantulas and so much more. We felt incredibly safe with them at all times as they knew how to navigate the rainforest and had great relationships with local people.

It was one of the best experiences of our lives and we’d definitely recommend for others looking to get a full experience of the Brazilian Amazon. We saw and learnt so much and will keep the memories with us forever.
