5.3 Days Amazon Jungle Adventure Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 145 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $360

Review of a 3-day Amazon adventure from Manaus with piranha fishing, jungle walks, caiman spotting, canoe trips, and rustic lodging.

“Positives: I enjoyed the lodge and food. Great scenery when on the boat both day and night, and hiking. I liked the alligator hunting and piranha fishing also. Good tour guides. Negatives: The biggest dissappointment was how the tour description made it seem that we would meet one of the tribes. However, that is not the case. We just went to a farm and was lectured about the tribal people that reside in the jungle for about 15 minutes, then returned back to the lodge. There are other tours where you get to see actual tribal rituals, songs, etc. Also, some of us werent kept in the loop as to…”

7.Amazon Negro River Half-Day Expedition Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 124 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $55

Review of Manaus’s Rio Negro tour: meeting of the waters, pink dolphins, forest walk, lilies, lunch, timing, crowds, and value.

“Even though labeled as a half day trip, it was a full day enjoyable trip experiencing several attractions. The guide on the boat was talking both in Portuguese and English although it appeared that relatively less in English which was confirmed to us by some bilingual tour customers. That was the only improvement I would recommend. Otherwise it was an excellent tour.”

8.4 Days Amazon Jungle Adventure Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 117 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $480

Review of Manaus’s 4-day Amazon jungle tour, with lodge stays, piranha fishing, jungle camping, meals, guides, costs, and practical tips.

“We did this 4-Day Adventure Tour in November 2015. The global experience was nice, thanks to the nice nature of Manaus and thanks to the guide. We cannot say the same thing about the Agency tour/ the organizers as we were UNpleasantly surprised by the bad organisation and the behaviour of the organizers. First of all, I would call this tour a 3-DAY Adventure Tour and not a 4-Day Adventure tour as we started our first activity at 3pm on D1 and we finished our last activity at 11pm on D4 which was a bit disappointing. Despite a few email conversations, we never received the complete program of our trip…”
