It was an amazing experience! The whole team was incredibly friendly and helpful. The lodge in the heart of the Amazon was a dream, and the food was absolutely delicious.
Our tour guide, Sofia, taught us so much about the local nature and communities. She was very flexible, listened to our wishes, and let us help decide what to focus on during the tours—which was especially important given our short stay. By the second day, it almost felt like we were exploring the Amazon with a friend.
Everything was perfect, and we would definitely come back!

Thank you so much for this beautiful review! It truly means a lot to our whole team.
We’re especially happy to hear that you felt comfortable with Sofia and that, by the second day, it felt like you were exploring the Amazon with a friend. That’s exactly the kind of connection we hope our guests experience here, not just visiting the rainforest, but truly feeling part of it.
It was a real pleasure having you with us, and we’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back to the Amazon someday. The forest will be waiting for you! 🌿💚
Warm Regards,

Definitely a worthy experience.
We went as a family of 4. Our trip in the Anavilhanas Archipelago included a visit to a tribe, swimming with dolphins, fishing Piranhas and multiple excursions into the Archipelago, on foot or on the boat.
Our Guide Lov was also excellent.
The rooms were not luxurious but really comfy. Also it was a nice view. The staff and the food was simple but delicious.
If you would like to see the Amazon and have a little adventure, this is it.

simply exceptional!
our experience with Joshua Expedition was amazing! Our guide, Ken, was very knowledgeable and gave as a lot of information about the forest. We had the chance to do lot of experiences in just 3 days, everything was well organised and on time, and we always felt safe. The rooms are simple but spacious and with AC. The people working at the lodge were very friendly and the cooking was super good. We highly recommend it!

Survived … good experience but much room for improvement
The overall itinerary was good and sufficient for a first visit to the Amazon.
Good (7/10) - the tour guide (Kenrick) was very knowledgeable (probably because he lives in a native community along the river) and had excellent English communization. Unfortunately, on the 1st day he was late by about 45 mins in meeting us. He also could have been more enthusiastic about the tours. In short, awesome knowledge but insufficient enthusiasm.
Good (7/10) - the tour organizer was responsive and available to help with issues. But needs to work more closely with their partners to ensure overall great experience for the tour.
Bad (3/20) - the lodge was very dated. When we checked into our rooms, there was a strong odor indicating dead air trapped in the rooms for a long time. Probably not a popular lodge and these rooms were empty for a long time. Their storage tank ran out of water on our 3rd morning and the staff was sleeping so can’t address the problem unless we return from our sunrise tour. Food was ok but not enough. They rationed the food so everyone would get just one piece of everything. Frankly we are not big eaters but thought that they didn’t provide enough. The staff was ok. Frankly I don’t know how to benchmark fairly because this is our first time staying inside a rain forest. The only hotel that was also very bad (but still better than this one) is located on Easter Island. Out of the hundreds of hotel where we have stayed, this one is on the bottom. I feel bad to say this but just want to set the right expectations for future visitors.
Unacceptable (0/10) - at the return from the Amazon, the car driver who picked us up from the port to our hotel was constantly texting and driving at the same time. He was very reckless in his driver even for someone like me who drives in New York City. At the hotel, he then demanded a tip for his driving. What a worst way to end the trip.

Dear David .
Thank you for this detailed feedback — and for travelling with us.
I’m sorry your experience fell short in several important areas. I appreciate the positives you noted about Kenrick’s knowledge and our responsiveness, and I’m equally grateful you flagged the problems so we can fix them.
Actions we will take:
- Guide: I’ll speak with Kenrick about punctuality and guest engagement while recognizing his strong knowledge and language skills.
- Partner coordination: We’ll reinforce standards and communication with our local partners to prevent recurrence.
- Lodge: We will investigate the room odor, water supply failure, food quantities and overall maintenance with the lodge management and require immediate corrective measures.
- Driver conduct: This is unacceptable. We will address distracted/reckless driving, reinforce no-texting rules, and clarify tipping expectations with the transfer provider.
We value your honesty and will use your report to improve future guests’ experiences.

Great experience
We had an amazing experience with Joshua Amazon Expeditions and truly enjoyed every moment of our trip.
A special thank you to Jordana, who was our first point of contact. She was incredibly responsive, helpful, and accommodating throughout the entire process.
Our guides, Kennedy and John, were also fantastic. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable.
Our flight was delayed, and we unfortunately lost about five hours, but despite that, the team adjust everything for us. They made sure we didn’t miss any of the tours we had booked, which we really appreciated.
We also loved our stay at Tapiri Lodge. Everything was great, and it was such a memorable part of our trip.
Highly recommend this experience!

A smooth and memorable experience, we want to come back and try more places with Joshua's
Joshua organized an amazing experience for us and with Sophie as our guide everything went super smooth, no delays and enough time in each place. We spent 3 days We will come back to try other experiences next year for sure.
We did a private tour with just me and my friend, so we had the boat for ourselves and it was perfect. Everything was arranged for, so we didn't have any issues. The food was also delicious and felt pretty local. We enjoyed our stay at Anavilhanas lodge, felt super authentic.

The perfect tour company to organize everything and make sure you are looked after!
I cannot fault anything from our experience. Everything was organized so well and on time and we were made to feel comfortable and safe at all times. This was so important going into a completely unknown and remote location. Special credit to our amazing guide who made us feel comfortable from the first minute and taught us so much! Also to the chef at the lodge, the best food we had in Brazil! A very special and once in a lifetime experience we will never forget! Thank you Joshua's for looking after us so well!

Just Beatiful
The lodge has internet, yet for 3 days and 2 nights, I was off line. We had functioning air conditioning. I felt transported into a different time. On the way to the lodge saw the meeting of the waters in the rain, saw pink dolphins, small fresh river dolphins. Saw how locals used to live, saw lots of birds. Then fished for piranhas. Harder than it looks, great sunsets and Sun rises. 3D/2N is the perfect amount of time to get lost in the Jungle.

Dear Suel
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s wonderful to hear that you were able to disconnect and truly immerse yourself in the Amazon. From spotting pink dolphins and birdlife to fishing for piranhas and witnessing breathtaking sunsets and sunrises, it sounds like you captured the essence of the jungle adventure. We agree—3 days and 2 nights is the perfect balance for both comfort and discovery. We’d be delighted to welcome you back whenever you’re ready for your next journey into the Amazon!

Really nice folks at the lodge, but lacking wildlife part of the year.
The lodge family, staff and guides at Tapiri are great, really nice folks. The cabins are fine 4mtr x 4 mtr rooms with bathroom attached, and an air conditioner. Kind of 2 star furnishings, sheets, etc, but it is a jungle setting. If you are new to jungles, this is a fine start to your learning experience. The best experience here is swimming with the pink dolphins - fantastic!
Having said that, the Rio Negro in October has probably 1/3 the animals and birds and 1/5th the fish varieties that occur downstream of Manaus on the Amazon, because of the pH of the dark water at around 4.5pH - highly acid. If you want to come to Rio Negro you should probably come at the end of June after the rainy season while the wildlife is still around before the water is retreating and getting more acid. Or, as we did, went to the Amazon area below Manaus after (or instead of) where the wildlife is still abundant all the time. Just my suggestion. Again, some really nice people here, and in the villages, etc... but compared to downstream of Manaus, not the best for wildlife including lack of birds which need fish to feed on.

Excellent and unique experience
Me and my friend were literally the only tourists in the area, the lodge is in a small native community with electricity. Very unique experience exploring the forest and river. Bring insect repellent, do not believe the locals when they say there is no malaria in Rio Negro (in fact Rio Negro waters are more likely to carry malaria).
