Loved everything about it
I had a wonderful day and it was a dream come true spending time in the Amazone rainforest. Everything was organised perfectly, the pick up in the morning was on time. The guide, Miguel, and the whole team were great and knowledgeable, always making sure everyone is doing well. I would recommend this to everyone who wants to get a glimpse of the beautiful region! 10/10

Beautiful, very versatile tour
This tour was great and packed so much more into it than I was expecting! You’ll see multiple waterfalls and caves, and even go sloshing through some thigh high waters in search of more natural beauty! The indigenous lunch was delicious and, I expect, a lot more authentic than what other tours are advertising. It was a great time and the guide clearly loves wildlife, which I think is very important.

Strenuous
Staff and guides were top notch! Professional and courteous!
I am writing to warn that this excursion is not for someone who is out of shape. The trail is mostly mud puddles with tree roots protruding out. A walking stick, mud boots are required. Part of the trip was simply walking through shin deep water.
I don’t think the two things you see at the end are worth walking over two miles.

Difficult hike to and from the caves.
Difficulty of the hike to the caves is far more difficult than shown in description.
A lot of up and down, very steep grades.

Overall it was a great...
Overall it was a great experience but the previous reviews are still true in that the tour is not catered for English speakers. Our guide did translate a good portion of the information he was providing in Portuguese to English but on the second portion of the tour when we were walking into the rainforest he did not come with us and we were instead escorted by guides that spoke no English at all. Still it was amazing to see the waterfalls and the lunch provided was great. Also be prepared for a long amount of driving. Of the 10 hours the tour takes, around half are spend in the van. It was still worth the experience for sure.

Awesome day
Absolutely fantastic day. Nothing was too much trouble. If you are looking for an authentic amazon experience this is a must do tour.

Very nice trail in the jungle, although it would be better with a smaller group (took very long with pictures for 20+ people). Be ready for the lack of facilities at the waterfall! There's only one very basic restroom.

Amazing nature
The waterfalls are really outstanding, totally recommend seeing them.
The tour is around 11 hours including the car trip from Manaus. Lunch is included and it's very good.
The guide speaks 80% English, not a lot of information is provided during the trip. There is a 30 min hike included, you should have adherent shoes for it.

Popular (busy) hike through the Amazon
Very popular hike through the Amazon. The caves are amazing, but I'm told the waterfall only runs during the wet season. Expect a lot of people on this hike. There are some hills, and walking through water, so good footwear and comfort going barefoot are required! Go early in the morning for fewer people. If you have more time and want a more authentic Amazonian experience, go stay in a lodge somewhere, the prices are comparable and it's totally worth having your own guide.

This was an amazing experience! The guides did everything to accommodate different languages and preferences. We saw waterfalls, got to explore the Amazon rain forest and had an amazing and tasty lunch. It was definitely educational and we'll worth our time and $$$.
