Amazon adventure - The trip over all was great and deserves 5 stars . The tour guide Aldinei has done a great job , very knowledgeable about the area and very adventurous as well , he made us enjoy very much all the tour activities .. the boat is small with 4 cabins for the guests so it feels very much private .. the cook Nicie has made great dishes for us, the caption made everything smooth during the boat ride all through the trip . The views from the boat were fantastic and the wild life viewing trips were amazing ,. the only comment I would add that may make things better is that it was not mentioned in the tour itinerary when I booked that the night on day 2 we sleep in the jungle , apparently that was the case and we were not prepared , that place has no bathroom or electricity or blankets or bug nets , only hammock, drinking water and dinner that they provide at the jungle and that is all until next morning and the main boat does not stay near the picnic place , has to navigate with a small boat to get in and out of that place ... but when we felt not comfortable with that Aldinei accommodated us right away and send us back to sleep on the boat after dinner in the jungle . Thanks again Aldinei . I highly recommend this trip for anyone would like to explore in the Amazon for few days.

Amazing experience with an amazing team - This was an amazing tour and provided such an immersive experience of the Amazon. Josef and the team were extremely accommodating, provided excellent and very filling meals, catered to our desires of wanting to do certain activities when it was best for us to have the best experience. We felt very safe with Josef and the team and we’re pleasantly surprised with the level of service we were provided.

I Caught the Piranha! - This tour is DEFINITELY the highlight so far of my eight-week trip
in South America. In the weeks before this, I had seen some great
sights in Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama & Costa Rica, all
very fast-paced, city-based activities, so it was VERY welcome to
have some chill-out time on the water. The gentle pace of the boat
travel was just SO peaceful. And, I never thought I could really be
comfortable in a hammock but swinging back and forth on that top
deck as the boat moved, was AMAZING!
We got close up and personal with Alligators and Pink Dolphins.
Incredible! And even though there were three of us fishing for
piranha, I was the only one to catch one! And the boat's chef cooked
it up perfectly for lunch! Now, that brings me to the crew! All the
meals were simple, tasty and FAB! Ship's Captain & Assistant just SO
professional and organised. And of course, my Guide not only had all
the information at his fingertips, but was an incredible Karaoke
Talent too! A lot of fun! They were all just SO friendly and
helpful, and knowledgable, plus they knew exactly when to ask me
what I would like to do, and also when to just give me space and
time to relax.
I needed relaxing, peaceful space and time mixed with time learning
about nature and culture, and that's EXACTLY what I got! It was
really special to meet locals for a jungle walk, learning all about
jungle medicine on the second last day, then witnessing tribal
dances and music on the final day. Very, very special. I am forever
grateful for this experience! Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!

Very nice experinece - The trip was very nice!! A very profesional guide and a wonderful crew! We can notice that Aldi is a passionate guide who like to share a lot of informations: birds, forest, trees, cultures, history!! The crew also is very attentionate, a chef who cooks delicious amount of food and the captain and his teamate always here to help and make you feel comfortable!! 👍👍
We choose a 6 days trip to allow us to cruise into the Rio Negro, through all water bay and paths of the rivers, visit indigenous, fish and eat piranha... A good triip for the one who are looking for a nature discovering!

Exploring the river with professionals - Me and my wife went on a 5 days / 4 nights Amazon boat tour and it has been an incredible learning experience and a nice adventure.
From the beginning, communication, via e-mail and WhatsApp with Leonardo Mendes (the Tour Operator Advisor), has been really good. He would respond very promptly and provide complete information about everything we asked.
We were picked up by a driver from our hotel in Manaus and Leonardo met with us when we boarded the boat. He introduced Anailson (our guide), Edimilson (the captain) and his son (in charge of the boat) and Maria (our cook). They were all very polite and kind and we had a very friendly interaction over the following 5 days. We sailed with no incidents, we had great local food for lunch and dinner + a lot of fresh juices with every meal. Our room, although a bit small, had a private bathroom and quite comfortable beds. On the boat's deck we would relax on hammocks while sailing and it was very relaxing and enjoyable.
Anailson, our guide, planned morning and afternoon activities for us and we got to have a glimpse at what the Amazon is about: arapaima feeding, interacting with dolphins, visiting a rubber museum, fishing piranhas, caiman spotting, trekking and spending a night in the jungle, visiting a local community, sharing stories and info from the area and much more. He speaks very good English and was very kind to share with us much more than you would expect - aspects from the social life in the Amazon area, economic aspect, political issues and answers for all our curiosities.
At the end of the tour we were driven back to our hotel and a few days later the same driver took us to the Ayahuasca Ceremony. We also booked this through Leonardo and it has been an unexpected journey to say the least. Organized just outside of Manaus, in a discreet and pleasant ambient, it is the real thing and offers a subjective experience worth trying.
Overall - the Agency (through Leonardo and all the other members involved in our experiences) provided professional service that made our experience very pleasant, enjoyable, comfortable and safe.
