From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 8.
We start around 8am from your hotel and drive west from Manaus for about one hour to the Castanho lake where our host will take you by motorized canoe (no cover typical slow amazonian transport) heading to the jungle where we’ll start a 2-3 hours hike to learn about Amazonian fauna and flora, like medicinal plants, jungle survival etc. We can't promise you'll see animals because our jungle is very dense and most of our creatures are small, but we will try to show you as much as Mother Nature allows us. (for this part of the tour you must wear long pants, closed toed shoes. Bring also a rain coat and insect repellent much needed during our wet season)
Now we ride to a platform where a project is held for protection and research about pink river dolphins, in this place we’ll have the unique opportunity to learn about these friendly beautiful creatures and enter the water to interact with them. (you must bring your swimming suits and towels)
We will have lunch at a floating house and relax before heading to the next activities. Normally we serve fish or chicken, rice, beans, manioc floor and some vegetables (simple means. We can't provide special food).
During the wet season (March through August) we have the forests flooded and during the dry season we navigate through the small canals that are formed in the region. Along this ride ride we search for a good spot to stop and fish for the famous and ferocious piranhas as we enjoy the beauty of the region. (make sure you have a hat, rain coat, sunscreen and insect repellent).
We will search for a good spot to marvel the most beautiful sunset and see how the nature goes to sleep giving room for the creatures that wake up as the night falls. Once the sun sets we go searching for the nocturnal creatures and with luck we can get really close to some of them like the caymans for instance. (you can bring a flashlight for this moment). We start heading back to Manaus around 7:30pm arriving to your hotel around 8:30pm when all you will want is a shower and bed ;)

What an incredible tour! A full 12 hour day went by so fast! I didn’t want it to end. Our tour guide, whom I believe was Milton, was knowledgeable, friendly and fun! It was very hot and humid throughout the hike so wearing the right clothing was key. But I had the most amazing time meeting tons of people from all over the world. I highly recommend everyone book this tour.
We had an unforgettable day in the Amazon. From start to finish everything was perfect. Great communication from Milton once we had booked, the transfer was seamless and comfortable. Dennis our guide for the day was amazing! He was Knowledgeable and friendly and really made sure that we had a great day. A boat ride on the Amazon, jungle trek, very tasty authentic lunch, swimming with the pink dolphins, piranha fishing and sunset and cayman spotting. Really could not have asked for more! Thank you Dennis for a day we will never forget! A must if you are visiting Manaus and want to explore the Amazon and great value for money!
The experience was amazing and for only a day I feel like I was able to enjoy so much of the Amazons. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Everything about this experience was amazing!
Thank you very much for your feedback It means a lot to us. Best regards, Milton Fernandes
There are truly no words to describe how magical our days with Amazon Private your were. Over the course of a week in Manaus, we experienced the Amazon in every dimension: beauty, science, culture, and pure emotion, from the jungle to the river to the caves and waterfalls. What sets this company apart is the team. André, Arthur, Alessandro, Daniel, Maria Vitória, Leonardo, and above all Milton, the architect of the whole experience, treated us with warmth and care from start to finish. Every detail was thought through, including delicious lunches along the way and countless small gestures of kindness. We were also deeply impressed by the team's commitment to sustainability. They genuinely care for the forest, even stopping to collect trash we came across along the trails and riverbanks. It says everything about how much they love and respect the Amazon, and it made us admire them even more. We came home carrying memories we will treasure forever. If you are considering a trip to the Amazon, look no further. Gratidão, Milton and team!
Thank you so much for your words. We are truly grateful for you having chosen us to deliver your tours. Best regards, Milton Fernandes
I had a wonderful time on this tour! It was an incredible day packed with activities, but there was also plenty of time to slow down, relax, and simply enjoy being out on the Rio Negro. The tour company was extremely communicative and went above and beyond to help when I ran into an issue getting to the meeting point on time. I loved our guide - as a local to the area, he had a lot of knowledge that he graciously shared with us. I was in Manaus for work and only had one free day, so this was the perfect way to experience a little bit of Amazonia in a short amount of time. I also loved being able to join a group as a solo traveler.
Thank you for your feedback It's very important for us Best regards, Milton Fernandes
many people,crowd very much.much more commercial,short time with dolphin,many people swim ，can't see the dolphin almost.bad attitude the guide.unhappy experience.
Hello, Thank you for your review. We're very sorry to read about your experience. However, based on your description, we believe it may not have been with our company. Our tours are intentionally limited to a maximum of 12 guests, allowing us to avoid the crowded areas used by large tour operators. We take our guests farther upriver, where the experience is much more peaceful and the chances of close dolphin encounters are significantly better. One of the things our guests consistently mention in their reviews is the quality of these encounters and the relaxed pace of our tours. We were also surprised to read your comments about the guide. Our guides are regularly praised for their excellent English, professionalism, and the knowledge they share throughout the day. If you did travel with us, we would genuinely like to understand what happened. Please let us know the date of your tour and which tour you booked so we can investigate. If there was any shortcoming on our part, we would like the opportunity to address it. Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Milton Fernandes
Fabio was an extremely knowledgeable and attentive guide. He helped us to appreciate the riches of the Amazon as he shared what is almost literally his back yard. The lunch prepared and served on the floating house was local and delicious. We had an incredible day!
Thank you for your feedback We're glad you had a good time regards, Milton Fernandes
The experience in the Amazon rainforest was very nice and complete. We only missed seeing the confluence of the clear water and the black water. Everything else, we were able to do on this tour. We had the best guide (Raymundo). Thank you!!
Muchas gracias por su evaluación Esperamos que retornen um dia para hacer nuestro otro tour que incluye el encuentro de los rios. Saludos cordiales, Milton Fernandes
Very hot/humid in the jungle. Thats the only part we wore long sleeves to help protect from the mosquitoes. The rest was shorts and tshirt.

Excellent experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a good place to sightseeing and exploring the jungle
Thank you very much for your evaluation Best regards, Milton Fernandes
