Fantastic experience - This is a very professionally organised trip. The lodge we stayed at was great, nice food and friendly staff. The boat trip and jungle walk are effectively private tours and our guides were friendly, knowledgeable and great company. I would highly recommend this trip! There is a fair bit of down time between the excursions so it worth bringing a book or two to pass the time

Unforgettable Amazon Adventure with Joshua’s Amazon Expeditions - We had an absolutely amazing time with Joshua’s Amazon Expeditions! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, exciting, and deeply memorable. Our guide, Julio, was outstanding—super knowledgeable, incredibly engaging, and fantastic with our kids. He made the jungle come alive with stories and facts, and his patience and warmth really stood out.
The Tapiri Floating Lodge was a perfect base. The hosts were welcoming, the lodges were clean and comfortable, and the food was genuinely lovely. Even our picky 10-year-old happily ate everything offered—which says a lot!
And of course, the Amazon itself was just spectacular. The wildlife, the river, the sounds—everything exceeded our expectations. I can’t recommend this trip enough for families or anyone looking to experience the Amazon in a safe, enriching, and unforgettable way.

Experience of a Lifetime - Over the top! Our guide Ken was extremely knowledgeable and went out of his way to explain details of the rain forest and how tourism will help protect their environment. The lodge was basic but extremely clean and air conditioned. The food was basic with fish, chicken and beef but so delicious. I highly recommend this tour!

Wow! - This was an incredible adventure. Kennedy, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the area. He could name all the birds and monkeys. The activities were varied and suitable for the rainforest adventure. The lodge was also nice. Nelson, the owner, was kind. The food was tasty, and the sleeping accommodations were simple yet appealing. Our room even had an air conditioner. Don’t forget to spy on the bats in the dark near the lodge.

Relaxing - I have good days there with friends. It is a kind of relaxing rather than exploring. It suitable if u want to find a peaceful place for holiday.

Great guide and itinerary. - Superb guide (Paulo) and great itinerary.
Food was fairly basic and local style. It was nice to try local dishes and produce.
Got to see quite a lot of wildlife and learnt a lot about the history and how the locals live.

Happy with our experience - Lodge was nice but water was brown. Fortunately, the lodge provided refillable drinking water, which we used to brush our teeth.
Bring your own shampoo and soap. And don't forget the repellent.
Our guide, Daniel, was a passionate guide. He did not only share information but even bought local snacks for us to experience. I liked David, the local guide, as well. Very patient in looking for fauna for us to see. Though he didn't know how to speak English, he told us stories about the Amazon through Daniel. Very happy with this pair.

Great tour guide and lots of funs - We had a great time with our peer travelers and our tour guide Motta was great. He spotted all the wild animals and shared his knowledge of Amazon untiredly. We enjoyed the trip very much. Wish there is a 4.8 rating instead of either star or 4 star rating, the only hesitation we had is about the facility. The water from shower, faucet, and toilet flush were all dark brown with large unknown debris, same happened to our peers' rooms. It appeared that water filter system is barely there. We barely wash face, and had to use bottled water to brush teeth. If you are sensitive on water quality then you may have to consider this factor. Otherwise we enjoyed the trip.

Good foods and tour guide. Terrible accommodation. - Programs: Good. We have seen and learned a lot from the activities.
Guide: Our tour guide Motta is very good. same the the boat operator. We were really pleased to have them both.
Food: Simple, fresh. Taste very good. Much better than the fancy restaurants in Manaus.
Room: Terrible!!! The river water is not filtered well. It is yellow and smells. We used bottle water to brush teeth. The air conditioner is broken. Imagine sleep in the hot and humid room without air conditioner. I was told the place is overbooked. They put us in the room that is supposed to be for the tour guides. This is NOT we paid $1100 for!!!
