You must see the meeting of the waters if you come to Manaus! - Swimming with the river dolphins was a lot of fun. The water was quite warm and comfortable. The meeting of the waters of the Rio Negro and Rio Solimoes to form the Amazon was magnificent. The other stops were just okay. While there was some English narration during the trip, it was quite limited.

Very good tour - Pick up from hotel was as agreed and punctual. The tour was well organised. It was a very large group of about 60 people, but still managed well. Visited the two rivers meeting point with plenty of opportunities to take pictures. This was the highlight of the day. Another highlight was the visit to the local community. Lunch was also very good. The rest of the day was filled up with visits to shops and sellers which you can ignore. You return to the harbour at 3pm.

Outstanding day on the Negro River - meeting of waters, gorgeous eco tour, native village experience, and huge lilies - Outstanding trip. Exceeded our expectations. James was an outstanding guide … personable .. professional and engaging. Our boat driver ‘pastor’ Antonio was also superb in every aspect … both gave us a wonderful day on the Amazon River- the highlight of our days on the River and satisfying our reason for coming - to explore the natural habitat and be exposed to the indigenous culture. We rate it 15 out of 10 - over the top!!!!! Thank you.

Rewarding 1/2 Day River Trip from Manaus - This was an awesome 1/2 day adventure. Our tour guide, Francineto, took us to the Rio Negro, an Indian village were we saw a show, swimming with the dolphins. Lunch was all you can eat and wonderful. There were a couple of stops to buy souvenirs. Francineto was a great tour guide. You could tell he takes great pride in his job. He was constantly interacting with all his guest (40+tourist). He and his team kept us safe while on the boat and everyone returned home safe. I’d recommend this trip if you are short on time in Manaus. Seeing the Rio Negro was the highlight of the tour for me.

Excellent tour - It was an unforgettable experience. The river tour was exciting and relaxing at the same time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us interesting information about the history and flora and fauna of the place.

Very good, but description is incorrect - Although the tour was very good, the description does not match the tour. The tour did not include a walk through the forest or a motorized canoe ride through the water lilies. Per the tour guide, the tour has been the same for several years.

Very good experience - Beautiful day, extremely kind and attentive guide , he explains in English and Portuguese and sets a good atmosphere in the boat. First we saw the pink dolphins, swimming in their company was possible for those who wanted it, then we ate in a floating restaurant, then we went to see the indigenous people (there we were not in their village as planned but on a platform, so no search for animals as described, it was the little disappointment) they made us a pleasant tribal ceremony. Then we leave for fishing fish in a fisherman's farm. Last step was the meeting of the waters and there we saw gray dolphins.

Not sure any value - If coming in via a cruise ship you will see the mixing of the waters. In our forest walk produced nothing in the way of wildlife…
