- Amazon River - The tour combines piranha fishing and alligator spotting, which is a good option for those who want to enjoy exciting and authentic Amazon experience. The adventure begins upon leaving the river terminal in Manaus for Iranduba. For this adventure, explore interesting places and observe their palafitas, fishermen and a landscape ribeirinhos. Upon arrival in Coast Iranduba, search for a good place to fish for piranhas. The Solimões river is much richer with fish than the Rio Negro.
When it gets dark, that means its time to search for alligators. The trained naturalist guide makes an effort to catch an alligator with his bare hands, so you can take pictures and get a closer look at the animal. After the explanations, the animal will be returned to their natural habitat. Aside from the piranhas and alligator, enjoy the igarapés and the Igapós (small channels). This tour is a fantastic experience for the first time visitors to Amazon!

Super recommend - The landscape and sunset are stunning... we took amazing photos!
The guide was super attentive and determined to catch the piranhas and jacarés.
The fishing was successful, but due to the full river, we could not catch the jacarés.
Anyway, a walk is worth it. Recommended!

Travel to Manaus - All very good, starting with the driver who went to pick us up and take us to the hotel, super polite, punctual and helpful. I highly recommend this company for booking tours in Manaus, for support before and during the activities. As for the journey itself, we managed to fish and catch (with the respective) release two jacarés. The landscapes and the boat ride at the end of the day/night is an experience that stays for life. 5 stars

Our guide knew exactly... - Our guide knew exactly where to go to find the piranhas and we were successful in catching a few. He caught alligators with his bare hands and brought them onboard for us to hold and take pictures of. We released everything caught because it was about the experience. 10/10 would recommend.

From Nightmare to Wow! - What a great experience! I booked this tour a couple of weeks ago. A flight delay caused me to miss it. I immediately contacted Viator and the tour company when I knew I wouldn't arrive in time. Viator said I couldn't get a refund. The tour company; however, worked with me to reschedule. And what a great tour it was! This was the 1st time I've EVER been piranha fishing! Our guide was great, and I even caught 2 piranha! After fishing, the alligator tour was also unique. The same guide used spotlights to find the gators, then got us close to them. Fabulous time. Kudos to Leonardo for working with me so I could enjoy this wonderful tour!!!

Jacarés focus - Beautiful landscape, super safe. Mr. Antônio, responsible for the tour has great experience and is sensational, perfect. In the focus of the jacarés took with the hand to take a photo, without hurting the animal and soon returned to nature. Super recommend!

Great walk - We made this family trip aboard an exclusive boat. We sailed the Negro River in the late afternoon and fished some fish (piranha, mandi, barbad). When it gets dark the guide starts focusing jacarés. We had the opportunity to see some of them. The guide showed us a beautiful specimen of jacaré acu chicken, in detail. Enriching experience. It's very worth it. I recommend.

Fun on the River - Just a great experience…started out with a massive rainstorm so we took refuge on a fuel barge..clean as and beer was cold. The across the huge river for fishing and had fun catching a few..the piranhas weren’t caught but plenty others. The the most exciting bit..catching a couple of caimans. Thoroughly recommended!

A trip that could have been more thrilling - The trip should have started early and visitors should be taught how to fish piranhas before giving them fishing rods and baits.

Missed Excursion - Because of a delayed flight, I missed this excursion. I immediately contacted Viator and the provider to see if the activity could be switched to a later date. Viator said no, the provider said yes. I don't know where I stand. Please clarify. Thanks. I use Viator for many excursions around the world.
