I loved the experience! - Organized and uninterrupted tour. Quality of transport optimal, both the car of the agency's guide, which transports to the port and from there to the hotel, as well as the boat of the partner company (express Suziane).

You must see the meeting of the waters if you come to Manaus! - Swimming with the river dolphins was a lot of fun. The water was quite warm and comfortable. The meeting of the waters of the Rio Negro and Rio Solimoes to form the Amazon was magnificent. The other stops were just okay. While there was some English narration during the trip, it was quite limited.

Very good tour - Pick up from hotel was as agreed and punctual. The tour was well organised. It was a very large group of about 60 people, but still managed well. Visited the two rivers meeting point with plenty of opportunities to take pictures. This was the highlight of the day. Another highlight was the visit to the local community. Lunch was also very good. The rest of the day was filled up with visits to shops and sellers which you can ignore. You return to the harbour at 3pm.

Outstanding day on the Negro River - meeting of waters, gorgeous eco tour, native village experience, and huge lilies - Outstanding trip. Exceeded our expectations. James was an outstanding guide … personable .. professional and engaging. Our boat driver ‘pastor’ Antonio was also superb in every aspect … both gave us a wonderful day on the Amazon River- the highlight of our days on the River and satisfying our reason for coming - to explore the natural habitat and be exposed to the indigenous culture. We rate it 15 out of 10 - over the top!!!!! Thank you.

Good, but things to improve! - The trip itself was good. We saw many interesting sights, the food was great and the trip itself was a cool adventure. Something I didn't like was that the agency offered transportation to the hotel. But then they sent an Uber (delayed, out of schedule), and in my opinion, it demonstrates their lack of seriousness. It is, as a rule, very poor communication with the Cover who organizes the activity (not Miguel). In the end, apart from that, the trip was good; we saw a lot and enjoy the whole day.

It's just ok - Like many other reviews, one of the biggest issues is the terrible sound system. We couldn't understand what the guide was saying in English. The operation is quite unsanitary, especially during the last stop where folks were swimming in the river with a pink dolphine that they've enticed to come around with food. The bobbing platform has a bathroom that does not have any running water. The workers simply dump a bucket of river water into the bowl from time to time. It appears that the waste water goes directly into the river where all the guests are swimming with the dolphin. On the positive side, the hot buffet lunch was tasty if you're not too worried about the flies that are buzzing around constantly.

Not sure any value - If coming in via a cruise ship you will see the mixing of the waters. In our forest walk produced nothing in the way of wildlife…
