Amazing time on a night boat tour fishing piranhas and looking for caimans. Milton was great! - Excellent Tour. It was a few years back and still remember it. Highly recommend. Milton was knowledgeable and informative.
We had such a nice time with Fabio and Milton during our days in Manaus and in the jungle.
Very organized, they had control of everything - not stressed about... read more time, they showed a lot of knowledge about plants, animals and history.
Fabio was such an amazing guide, found animals that was hard to believe! We felt very safe during the whole trip - and specially during the overnight in the jungle.
The waterfall and caves tour was also nice - specially the caves.
Very good experience, well organized, good value 👍 - The transfer to and from the hotel were excellent. The motor boat rides in the Rio Negre and its nooks and crannies offered a lush and up close view of... read more the Amazon Jungle, although we saw little wildlife. Highlights included swimming with the pink dolphins, catching piranhas, the delicious fish lunch, seeing the tarantula, bullet ants and various hardwood trees during the hike. You'll likely get some mud on your shoes. While it wasn't too buggy, you will get bitten if you don't use bug spray.
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.
