  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.

  After 2 weeks on a Viking Ocean cruise up the Amazon where almost nothing went well or as scheduled what a pleasure this full day tour was on our final... read more day in Manaus with Amazon Private Tours by Milton.
All details arranging the tour via email were always promptly handled and our pickup could not have been better. We had arranged to be picked up at the port and then dropped off at the end of our tour at the hotel. Like most things on the Viking Cruise, all the disembarkation info we were provided was incorrect but one quick call via WhatsApp and we were immediately contacted by our tour driver who made schedule adjustments to accommodate us.
A quick tour thru the town and our driver, Thales, dropped us off at the marina where we boarded our boat with our guide for the day, Luce. The tour progressed exactly as advertised heading first to swim with the pink river dolphins where our guide literally took a hundred pictures of us in the water. Next stop was the indigenous Desana village followed by a return trip back down the Rio Negro for a delicious lunch at a floating restaurant by January Park featuring local specialties. We walked the boardwalk from the restaurant into the park to view the Amazon's giant lilly pads and even spotted a caiman.
Next stop was the floating village and a visit to a piracu fish farm to "fish" for these monsters - lots of fun. We headed out to view the Meeting of the Waters before quick riverfront tour of Manaus' harbor and return to the marina. Our tour guide was pleasant, informative and provided an amazing experience!
Our driver, Thales, was once again waiting to pick us up and transport us to the hotel while providing local information and restaurant recommendations. With all the confusion over our departure from the cruise ship earlier in the day he even offered to return us back & forth to the port if there was any issue with our luggage - fortunately it had been delivered by the cruise line as promised.
With only a very short time in Manaus this full day tour hit all the highlights and was a perfect ending to our Amazon excursion.

  A experiência do day tour Manaus + encontro das águas com o Milton não poderia ter sido melhor.
É uma experiência completa, conhecemos a capital Manaus, fomos ao encontro das... read more águas, passamos pelo Rio Negro e Amazonas, fizemos a pesca do pirarucu e tivemos um almoço excelente.
O Milton é um guia nativo muito experiente, gentil e divertido.
Quanto a estrutura, o carro é muito confortável e o barco também.
Vale cada centavo investido.

  The tour went as expected. It was certainly a long tiring day, but exactly what we wanted which was to do as many things as possible bundled in one day.... read more The guides were friendly and knowledgeable and helpful.

  Our whole day tour of the Amazon exceeded all of our expectations.
The tour started at 8:00 when my brother and I, were picked up from our hotel and... read more driven about an hour to a small village where we met up with our boat operator/guide. The ensuing boat ride to the hiking trail weaved through tributaries of the Rio Negro and flooded forests for about 30 minutes until we arrived at the hiking trailhead. The hiking trail is around 2.5km to 3km long with frequent stops where our guide, Milton, talked about the native plants and animals. On our hike we were introduced to the many uses of the local plants and we encountered many different types of birds, a few monkeys, and 2 tarantulas which were quite interesting.
After the hiking trip we were taken to a nearby lodge for a hearty meal of fish, chicken, rice, and pasta. At this point of the trip, we were handed off to another guide, Fabio, who was to be our guide for the rest of the trip.
Once we finished with lunch, we got back on the boat and went to visit the pink dolphins. What makes this portion of the trip special is that the pink dolphins are not contained within a cage, they come right up to you.
Piranha fishing followed the pink dolphin stop. We were taken, again by boat, to a portion of the flooded forest where our guide gave us fishing rods to catch piranha. Being within the flooded forest, hearing the sounds of the birds and the monkeys echo through the trees is a memory I will carry with me for the rest of my life. The piranhas were plentiful and it was interesting to learn that there are different types of differing colors and sizes.
The final activity prior to returning to the car was the nighttime caymen spotting. With the sun slowly sinking into the horizon, we were taken to a portion of the forest where caymens could be found. Unfortunately we were not able to see any up close, as the water was too high, but we were able to spot another species of tarantula and nocturnal snake high up in the trees. The sounds of the forest at night, when there is not a light in the sky, is magical and is something that has to be experienced when visiting the Amazon.
After the caymen expedition, we were brought back to our disembarkation point where we met with Milton who took us back to our hotel in Manaus.
If you only have time for one tour while in Manaus and want to experience the forest in all it's glory, I definitely reccommend you book this tour. The guides, the itenerary, the food, and the landscape leaves your heart full of memories that you will carry with you for rest of your life.
