30 min

Exploring the wonders of Amazon by boat, you will discover an amazing place where locals live according to their conditions, and you will explore small tributaries where you can see the wildlife and nature.

Admission included10 min

On the way to the jungle, you will see and learn about the local people's style of life seeing their typical floating houses in the jungle, a small community formed by boat houses in the region of Amazon.

60 min

Arriving in the jungle, you will explore the famous jungle, composed mainly of small trees and amazing scenery. You will observe the wildlife and the giant lily pads (only between Feb and Aug), and then we will explore the area in slow navigation through the forest and its small tributaries.

10 min

After the exploration tour, we will stop our boat somewhere in the jungle and you will fish for piranhas, this activity intends to explain those that are considered the most feared but amazing Amazon`s basin fish

60 min

Once night settles over the Amazon and the sky glows with the last colors of an unforgettable sunset, the adventure becomes even more thrilling. Equipped with powerful flashlights, we glide through the darkened waterways as the rainforest awakens for its nightly performance. Your guide will help you spot the glowing eyes of alligators along the riverbanks, and—if luck is on our side—the slow, charming silhouette of a sloth resting high in the trees. As the beams of light sweep across the forest, you’ll learn how each creature adapts to the nocturnal world and how the jungle transforms after dusk. Surrounded by the symphony of insects, frogs, and distant calls echoing through the canopy, this nighttime exploration reveals a side of the Amazon few travelers ever experience. After this captivating encounter with the rainforest’s nocturnal life, we begin our return to Manaus, arriving around 7:30 pm. If needed, we’ll provide a comfortable transfer back to your hotel.

40 min

After this incredible immersion in the jungle—spotting wildlife, learning about the forest’s hidden medicines, and exploring breathtaking landscapes—the adventure takes on a magical twist. As dusk settles over the Amazon, your guide hands out lanterns and leads you on a nighttime exploration, revealing a completely different side of the rainforest. With the soft glow of the lights, you’ll search for nocturnal animals, observe the glittering eyes of caimans along the riverbanks, and listen as your guide explains how the forest transforms after sunset. The sounds intensify, new species emerge, and the jungle feels alive in a whole new way. Once this unforgettable experience concludes, we begin our return to Manaus, arriving around 7:30 pm. If needed, we’ll take you back to your hotel with the same comfort and care that guided you throughout the day.

We had a great time. The...

A fantastic experience and would highly recommend a nocturnal tour. The guide was great and communicated with us all we needed to know before we left. Both the guide and boat driver were experienced and knowledgeable and found a lot of wildlife for us to see. It was interesting visiting the lillypads and local run fish farm. Would highly recommend.

An incredible experience

We too enjoy this tour - we passed through incredible places. One characteristic that caught the attention was that we passed by quiet places, where there are not many tourists transiting, which gives a strong sense of peace and connection with nature. Our guide was also excellent.

Best tour of Manaus

Rodolfo was extremely attentive, picked me up and took me by car to the hotel. On the tour he explained everything about the forest, about the population, about the fish, about the birds, about the jacarés... The tour was excellent, wonderful photos, I was able to catch a Jacaré... It was amazing, simply the best experience I had from Manaus!

My experience was challenging and at the same time the realization of a dream.

My favorite parts were The Hand of God and Plato. Getting to the top of Plato was exciting. Inexplicable landscapes that I couldn't imagine until I was in these places. All I have to do is thank Amazon destinations tourism for all support and dedication in providing us with the best possible experience.

Tickling Camen in the Amazon

Was a fantastic experience, only 4 of us plus our guide Rudolpho and pilot Pina(?) would absolutely do it again. ‘Sailed’ across Negev and Amazon rivers, through mangroves to see Giant lillies, river village, fishing for piranha, catching gently and releasing young Camen, and the night time noises of the jungle ... wow.

Thanlks a lot for your review dear Sue
