We booked our Manaus tour through manaus.tours and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the rainforest. The boat trip to see pink dolphins and the walk through the jungle canopy were highlights we’ll never forget. Everything was well organized — transport, meals, and accommodation at the lodge were all comfortable and handled smoothly. If you’re considering an Amazon experience, this is the team to book with.

We were a group of three women and had an amazing stay at the Ipanema Lodge. It was the perfect mix of rustic and comfort that I needed to have an immersive Amazon experience. We especially enjoyed the alligator boat ride, bbq in the forest, and fishing piranhas.

A few things to note before:
– The trip to get to the lodge requires two boats and a kombi ride.
– Bring repellent and incense
– WiFi is available for 10r/day but it’s limited
– Food is great! There is also some refris/snacks for sale
– It’s more on the rustic side so be prepared to experience bugs, sweat, camp life. It’s part of the experience!

Many thanks to our guide David, canoeiro Luís, and chef Anny! Those three made the trip so fun!

Having decided to set out on an expedition and cover the world in the few years to come, this holiday by Manaus looked very tempting. They have several tours of which this one to Brazil was very appealing. I have used these operators in the past, and have only sweet memories of the trip, and hence jumped at their 3 days offer.

The trip was uneventful, and covers all expenses including meals in the $150 odd dollars. The scenery is splendid and the guide very accommodating and friendly. U cant ask for more! I even spotted pink river dolphins which was the highlight of the trip. Those who know swimming can take a dip with these friendly dolphins too!

If you ever have the chance to spend a day in Manaus, their boat tours are a must.
We left the port of Manaus with a 150hp outboard literally flighing over the Negro river with its black water.
After 45 minutes we arrived at a marvelous beach where we met David and his pink river dolphins.
Amazing how those animals are crazy for fish, they jump up nearly 4 feet and be careful not to give them their prey.
Next stop was Tupe beach where we had a marvelous grilled Tucunare (Peacock Bass). After a relaxing swim in the river (like hot tube 80F) we were invited by an Indio of the Dessano tribe to assist their tribal dance.
We really got intoxicated by the sound of drums and flutes.
On the way back we had a great sunset over the Negro river.

Looking for get some impressions from the Amazon I run into Jack on Facebook, he organized a great nature experience into the real Amazon. I was not much fond of lodges and group tour, I was looking for something special. Finally ending up with a local guide called Mario, who spoke few English but was fun, spent a week near his family place somewhere on the Mamori lake. I really loved the fishing in the morning and the canoeing through flooded land. Most days we were camping somewhere and you can´t imagine the sound at sunrise. In spite of the still heavy rain, as he stated rain season is over we had a great time.

Manaus Jungle Tours is highly recommended, we booked the promotion 4 days tour, the organization was perfect, good and clean hotel in Manaus and romantic jungle lodge with very good food, we enjoyed the grilled peacock bass. Our guide spoke fluently english and we saw a lot of animals.
