We had plenty of time to soak it all in and enjoy!! The meeting of the waters was a highlight too.. being able to reach out and touch the water. This trip will always be remembered as a favorite!

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 can say that we have been on few tours around the world and this one has been one of the best! It was exactly as described and what an... read more experince to sleep in the jungle! Milton and Fabio did their best to acommodate all our needs and they speak very well english and spanish! If i would go back tomorrow i would choose them 100%
We felt safe all the time and even in the jungle at night we slept like babies!
I would say overnight experience is a must if you're in the area
We felt very welcome and learned a lot - We had a GREAT day with Fabio, Milton and Elder.
I brought My 8 yo daughter and she had a great time.
All the team was very kind and... read more thoughtful the hole time.
They would explain things in a way she could understand and learn.
My favorite part was the trekking, learning more about the local plants, making the fire, and cooking a surprisingly tasting meal.
My kid's favorite part was to swim with the pink dolphins in the river.
Also, when my phone died, Milton borrowed me his phone, so we could take pictures! that sounds small bus was very helpfull. 🙂
I am not going to lie,when my husband said we are going into the jungle and we are sleeping there for a night I lost 2 weeks of sleep before... read more that.But after I met Milton and Fabio I felt a lot better. And once we start our journey all that fear faded and it was replaced by excitement. And the most important part wasthat I felt safe. There are risks obviously but even walking down the road its a risk nowadays. Just listen to your guide, watch your steps and use loads of bugs spray even though there were more mosquitos far away from amazon.We had an amazing time. We left with so many memories.It was one in a lifetime experience that I honestly recommend.

The itinerary of the tour is very well developed and provides a great experience all day long. Plenty of bottled water and an excellent lunch is included.
A Dreary and rainy start… - It was a dreary raining morning on the Amazon, and our tour was starting late because of our ship’s late arrival. Our guide Dennis started with a recommendation that... read more we go downriver first instead of later, and save the swim with the pink dolphins for the afternoon. It turned out perfectly as we avoided most of the weather and enjoyed everything that was on the agenda ! It was a great day !
Perfect 2-days tour. Fabio was an amazing guide. First day we went to indigenous people village to see their cultural presentation and we even danced a bit with them. Then... read more we saw villages where people literally live on the water. Houses are built on the floating logs. Kids are attending the elementary school on the water.
We saw the place where the black and white rivers meet.
In the jungle we saw tucans, aras, monkeys, tarantella spider, green mamba (non-poisonous), crocodiles, piranhas, dolphins, gigantic ants, nice flavour smelly ants for camouflage, alarm captain bird... Fabinho made a lunch for us in the jungle and we ate from palm leaves. He knows each and every tree, from mahogany, rubber tree, cocoa, quinine, guarana. So, it was an extraordinary anthropological, zoological and botanical experience. Thank you Fabio, Milton and others.
