This was one of the best experience we had during our stay in Manaus. We did a few other day trips but this was the best and where we got to experience the real Amazons with little or no commercialization. The trip felt exclusive and was tailored to our family and interests. We are a family of 4 with two teenagers and another traveler joined us. The guides Francisco, Saza and Nan were amazing. They reached out to us via whatapp, as soon as we booked the trip and guided us on everything, including what to wear and what to bring on the trip. So we were well prepared. They were on time to pick us up and took us to the boat launch. Francisco was excellent and explained everything well in English. We travelled in the canoe through the river and at one part walked into the jungle. They explained a lot about the jungle, survival skills, different vegetation etc. Its was an interesting walk and our teenagers were very engaged. They answered all the questions we had. We enjoyed our swim in Rio Negro, saw a lot of wild life and birds from the boats as we made a slow progress on the river with the cool breeze. The squirrel moneys were a hit with our kids.
We enjoyed every bit of the trip and I highly recommend this adventure. Thank you to our amazing guides for the wonderful time we had and the memories we made.
