What a fun trip! The meeting of the waters, seeing how they lived on the water, walking thru the jungle above the ground level, also just to see the city from a water view. Only disappointment was not being up close to the pink dolphins.

Very good tour, well organized and gives the right amount of exposure for a one day tour while in Manaus.

We were on a covered speedboat protecting from sun and wind to a certain extent. Save boat ride with acceptable speed for safety and comfort.

A great one day trip that covers the major highlights.
For what it is, this tour covers a lot of ground: River confluence, pink dolphins, fishing, lunch, nature walk, and tribal village. Boat has power outlets for phone charging and free ice water. I think my group was among the 10% that spoke English. The guide’s English was okay when I spoke with him one on one, but otherwise, i didn’t know what he was saying. There’s a lot lost to translation or simply not as detailed since the Portuguese explanation was significantly longer than the English explanation. This is a consolidated tour, meaning you could find different vendors on Viator or anywhere else selling the same thing (ie similar itinerary but same boat trip), which means you can shop around for best pricing.

Great adventure!
Both parts of this experience were equally fun and so organized and well done. Both guides -Erivando and Denis are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We are very impressed by guide’s ability to speak English.

Excellent and unique experience
Me and my friend were literally the only tourists in the area, the lodge is in a small native community with electricity. Very unique experience exploring the forest and river. Bring insect repellent, do not believe the locals when they say there is no malaria in Rio Negro (in fact Rio Negro waters are more likely to carry malaria).

When to visit

The Amazon River vies with the Nile for the title of the longest river in the world and is a must-see for adventure travelers and nature lovers.
Remember to bring insect repellent to protect yourself against mosquitos.
It's a good idea to pack comfortable walking shoes, a wide-brimmed hat, and lightweight clothing such as quick-drying pants and long-sleeved shirts.
Drink plenty of water; it's always hot and muggy in the Amazon jungle.
People Also Ask
Can you take a tour of the Amazon River?
Yes, you can join an Amazon River tour that explores the jungle or take an Amazon River cruise. Tours and cruises tend to depart from Manaus in Brazil, Coca in Ecuador, or Iquitos in Peru, and can last up to 15 days.
How much does an Amazon River cruise cost?
Amazon River tickets for a cruise tend to start at around US$500—these are shorter trips (2–3 days) that prioritize affordability over luxury. Premium cruises with 5-star accommodation can cost up to US$14,000 for 15-day jaunts, but the standard 5-day mid-range options tend to cost you around US$2,000.
What is the best month for an Amazon River cruise?
The best months for an Amazon River cruise are from May through October, which is the dry season in the rainforest. This is when water levels are lower and therefore easier for boats to navigate, and when temperatures are cooler. Prices are at their highest then, so consider visiting at the end of the rainy season for better deals.
Are Amazon River cruises worth it?
Yes, Amazon River cruises are worth it—a cruise takes you right to the heart of the world's largest rainforest, and increases your chance of spotting rare mammals, birds, and reptiles, some of which you can only see in the Amazon. You'll also feel more immersed in nature than if you were just to take a day trip.
What is included on an Amazon River cruise?
Amazon River cruises typically include all of your meals, accommodation in one of the boat's cabins, and activities in the rainforest—these range from fishing for piranhas, going on night walks to spot nocturnal creatures, kayaking and paddleboarding, and meeting Amazonian tribal communities. Some include airport transfers as well.
What do you wear on an Amazon River cruise?
It always feels quite hot and humid in the Amazon rainforest during the day, so pack lightweight clothing, sturdy footwear for hiking, and a waterproof rain jacket in case you get caught in a downpour. Pack some long trousers for trekking and something warm for the evening, when it can feel a little cool after the heat of the day.
