From our first contact by email we have had excellent communication with Rinaldo. He responded promptly and let us know when he would be out on trips and unable to reply. A Skype to telephone call enabled us to ask all the questions we needed to make our decision to kayak on the Urubu. All the transport arrangements fell into... More

Well it seems like 5 stars is the only thing you can actually give this tour (if you have actually taken it). Rinaldo and the team are just the perfect guides to a magical tributary of the Amazon. The trip is just perfect for getting a small slice of Amazon wilderness - please remember that true wilderness means that you... More

While the trip itself looks amazing, I found Rinaldo to be unprofessional and downright rude while attempting to book the trip. When I asked if there was a discount for three people and proposed a rate less than the $3500 US for 3 days that he requested, he was very rude and unprofessional in response. The trip may be amazing,... More

What an adventure! Four of us headed out on the five-day kayak trip down the Urubu River, accompanied by Rinaldo and Nigel (English-speaking guides), Junior (our cook), and Pedro (the boat driver). The itinerary was pretty much as described on their website, so I won’t go into what we did each day. What I will say, which they don’t emphasize... More

My girlfriend and I are just back from a truly magical trip on the remote Urubu river. We were on a four day trip of 150km downstream kayaking with Amazon Mystery Tours. Doing the trip in four days is a bit stretched with quite a lot of paddling each day. A 5 or 6 day one would be more relaxed.... More

For the prepared person, this can be an absolutely amazing trip. We did the 3 day "adventure" kayaking tour, although the company offers day and speedboat trips, I can only really comment on the one we took. Each trip is organized individually, and Rhinaldo makes custom arrangements to meet your needs. It's hard to describe what it feels like, except... More

If you're looking for a 'canned', don't get your hands dirty kind of tour - then this is NOT the one for you. If you're looking for an authentic off the beaten path kind of tour - meaning no bathing for a week, sleeping in hammocks, walking through water and mud, kayaking the amazon, eating with chickens, pigs, etc, hiking...

My fiance and I visited Manaus in October last year looking for an authentic Amazon experience. After doing a lot of research it appeared to us that most of the tour companies in Manaus were just offering farm stays in the "jungle" as authentic Amazon experiences. So we turned to Amazon Mystery Tours for something different. Jean-Claude the owner was... More

I'm from the US, but I've travelled all over Asia, Africa, and South America. My trip into the Brazilian Amazon rainforest with Amazon Mystery Tours was one of the best trips of my life! Top reasons I recommend Amazon Mystery Tours: -Authentic, ecotour experience -Never saw other tourists on my jungle trip -Guides you can feel confident in and safe... More
