Passeio muito legal. Não tem como visitar Manaus e não fazer um passeio como esse. Tudo confere como no anúncio. A comida no restaurante é bem variada. Translado pro hotel ida e volta sem nenhum problema. Só acho que deveriam oferecer a opção de pagamento de dividir no cartão.

Careful when you book. We booked the tour with the river side trip to see the Vitoria Regia lillies (which was offered), but when we arrived, they informed us that they didn’t offer this tour during the dry season (not sure where the communication breakdown was between the tour operator and Viator). Also, note that they may pick you up from your hotel, but they may not return you to your hotel.
The sound system on the boat was terrible. The Brazilian I sat by could not understand anything in Portuguese and I couldn’t understand anything in English. But when I spoke with our guide directly, he was great.
With those words of caution, we still had a wonderful time. We spent more time on the boat going to our stops than expected, but we loved seeing the pink river dolphins, the pirarucu farm (definitely spend the 10 reais for 3 bamboo rods with fish bait…those big fish hit hard!), and the meeting of the waters. Our boat pilot did a great job of maneuvering the boat so everyone got good views and pictures. The lunch buffet was hot and tasty. The visit to the indigenous village was a little staged, but the traditional music and dance was still interesting although brief.
