Amazon River, Brazil The tour combines piranha fishing and alligator spotting, which is a good option for those who want to enjoy exciting and authentic Amazon experience. The adventure begins upon leaving the river terminal in Manaus for Iranduba. For this adventure, explore interesting places and observe their palafitas, fishermen and a landscape ribeirinhos. Upon arrival in Coast Iranduba, search for a good place to fish for piranhas. The Solimões river is much richer with fish than the Rio Negro.
When it gets dark, that means its time to search for alligators. The trained naturalist guide makes an effort to catch an alligator with his bare hands, so you can take pictures and get a closer look at the animal. After the explanations, the animal will be returned to their natural habitat. Aside from the piranhas and alligator, enjoy the igarapés and the Igapós (small channels). This tour is a fantastic experience for the first time visitors to Amazon! 240 minutes

Our guide knew exactly where to go to find the piranhas and we were successful in catching a few. He caught alligators with his bare hands and brought them onboard for us to hold and take pictures of. We released everything caught because it was about the experience. 10/10 would recommend.

What a great experience! I booked this tour a couple of weeks ago. A flight delay caused me to miss it. I immediately contacted Viator and the tour company when I knew I wouldn't arrive in time. Viator said I couldn't get a refund. The tour company; however, worked with me to reschedule. And what a great tour it was! This was the 1st time I've EVER been piranha fishing! Our guide was great, and I even caught 2 piranha! After fishing, the alligator tour was also unique. The same guide used spotlights to find the gators, then got us close to them. Fabulous time. Kudos to Leonardo for working with me so I could enjoy this wonderful tour!!!

Because of a delayed flight, I missed this excursion. I immediately contacted Viator and the provider to see if the activity could be switched to a later date. Viator said no, the provider said yes. I don't know where I stand. Please clarify. Thanks. I use Viator for many excursions around the world.
