What people are saying about Manaus

Overall rating

4.4
(481 reviews)

The lodge is run as a family business with a warm atmosphere and a very beautiful location. Daughter Gabi is great and takes care of everything as the English-speaking "organization manager". The area is mostly explored in a relaxed manner in a small motorboat, the main means of transport in the Amazon. You get an insight into the special way of life of the "Amazonians", free from any luxury and stress ("Fitzcarraldo"). The approximately three-hour jungle walk is a very entertaining, educational and relaxed introduction to the jungle flora and its usability. You should definitely not miss the (completely safe) jungle overnight stay and do not eat in the lodge beforehand, but ask to do so by a campfire in the hammock! For the very simple bedrooms in the lodge, hut sleeping bags (if you don't know the term, google it) are definitely recommended/recommend bringing along. Get involved in simplicity and nature, the experience will be a special one!

This was overall a relaxing activity. Large boat with about 50 people. Nice views of the river. Went from activity to activity: felt a bit like tourist traps but very enjoyable overall. Lunch was good. Not an “authentic jungle experience” if that’s what you’re looking for, but that’s not the point of this tour. Pickup and drop off at the hotel were very efficient. The driver was prompt for pickup and waited at the port after the tour ended to pick us up again. Very seamless. I got the sense that this was a “wrapper” around tours you could buy yourself through separate channels (e.g., if you’re willing to go to the Port and find the appropriate tour operator yourself). So if you’re on a budget, it may be possible to save some money by doing that. But honestly, it’s probably not that much more money, and the convenience may outweigh any monetary savings, unless you’re going as a large group. Guide spoke mostly in Portuguese but said main things in English and checked in with us.

We loved our trip! Given the price and that you were in the middle of the rainforest it exceeded our expectations. Our guides and the food were great. There was enough activities but also time to chill. The accomodation was more than we expected with a/c and a private bathroom. Would highly recommend!

The trip was great. We got picked up at our airbnb and went with a car to the boat. We went on a boat drive trough the amazonas river, a hike trough the forest, we fished for piranhas and we had a delicious lunch at a house from native people.

Daniel our guide and the Family at the lodge were great. The Cook is amazing!
