          This is not an Amazon tour.
          This is not an Amazon tour. It’s a friendly tour designed for people 55+ to walk around a river. I’m 36 and by day 2 I was ready to leave and go explore other parts of the Amazon. The owner of this tour company built a small lodge in a tiny village by a river and called it “the Amazon tour.” You do little tours of the village and the river. He built a small 2 hour hiking path. We did not see any animals the entire 4 days. Absolutely nothing. You can do better hikes in Oregon or Colorado. Breakfast at 7, sit for 2 hours, walk or boat tour till 11 then sit till 3:30 pm then small walk till 5:30 pm. For 3 days then go home. The end. Food was good, nice people work at his lodge. The tour guides are burnt out and they know it’s not an Amazon tour but an expensive scam, but they do what they can to make it look “exciting.” You can do this tour with local guides for 50-100 dollars a day on your own.

          Unforgettable contact with Mother Nature
          We booked a 5 Day/4 Night Amazon Adventure With Stay At Tapiri Rio Negro Lodge thru Joshua’s Amazon Expeditions. The package included transportation from and to our hotel in Manaus, transportation by car from an to the river and by boat up Rio Negro to Tapiri Lodge which is located in the Anavilhanas national park (in case you are interested to search it on the map it is at coordinates -002.838531° / -060.735265°). On our way to the lodge we had a stop to have a swim in the river and interact with pink dolphins, and on our way back to Manaus we visited Tatuyo’s indigenous community. Tapiri Lodge is a family run property consisting in 5 independent log cabins and a common area where food is served, perked on the jungle which surround Rio Negro. The cabins are easy but cozy, clean, comfortable with air conditioning and just cold water, but with day temperatures usually reaching 38 - 40 that was no problem for us. The fact that they are scattered around on the hill offers very good privacy. Tapiri lodge is run with passion, competence, friendliness, respect for the nature and a warm heart and soul. Food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is prepared as a buffet by two talented ladies which will make sure that a quite large offer of tasty vegetables, fish and meat dishes will satisfy everybody. By the way, in case you are wondering, yes there is WIFI. With our guide Paulo and his native assistant Silas we spent an unforgettable time on the boat, immersed in wonderful landscapes, hiking in the jungle, visiting the local community and spotting many animals (mainly birds, alligators, capybara and a few otters). We went fishing with nets. Our catch was cooked to perfection by the lodge ladies! We spent one night camping in the jungle, eating fish grilled on a camp fire and we slept in hammocks in the wood. We learned a lot and enjoyed every bit of our trip, but we would like to include a word of warning: do not underestimate such an adventure. Location, temperature, humidity, sudden weather changes, mud & forest density are quite taxing. Ponder in advance where you are traveling to and do not overestimate your capabilities. Approach nature with respect, well equipped and bring always a large quantity of water with you. The jungle will simply sweat the hell out of you. Another point to consider: Amazon is mainly for landscapes, to spot animals (and jaguars in particular) is better go to Pantanal.

          Really nice folks at the lodge, but lacking wildlife part of the year.
          The lodge family, staff and guides at Tapiri are great, really nice folks. The cabins are fine 4mtr x 4 mtr rooms with bathroom attached, and an air conditioner. Kind of 2 star furnishings, sheets, etc, but it is a jungle setting. If you are new to jungles, this is a fine start to your learning experience. The best experience here is swimming with the pink dolphins - fantastic! Having said that, the Rio Negro in October has probably 1/3 the animals and birds and 1/5th the fish varieties that occur downstream of Manaus on the Amazon, because of the pH of the dark water at around 4.5pH - highly acid. If you want to come to Rio Negro you should probably come at the end of June after the rainy season while the wildlife is still around before the water is retreating and getting more acid. Or, as we did, went to the Amazon area below Manaus after (or instead of) where the wildlife is still abundant all the time. Just my suggestion. Again, some really nice people here, and in the villages, etc... but compared to downstream of Manaus, not the best for wildlife including lack of birds which need fish to feed on.

          An experience of a lifetime, where we got a real taste of the Amazon jungle!
          This was a one of a kind experience to be integrated so fully within the Amazon jungle! We were collected from our hotel promptly by Joshua and straight away felt comfortable, which was good because for the remaining 4 days, our movements were out of our hands! We were driven to the meeting of the waters, picked up by someone else to be driven to the Amazon river, and collected by someone else who took us on a boat to the lodge we would stay at. Just getting to the lodge was already an adventure and took about 4 hours! Once we got there, we were in the hands of our two guides, one English and one Portuguese. Our English guide Yamal spoke perfect English so we could have a memorable tour. We learnt a lot about the jungle, the water, the animals. We did activities including caiman hunting, piranha fishing, canoeing, jungle trekking, swimming with pink dolphins and visiting a local village, and even spent a night in the jungle sleeping on hammocks! The guides took total care of us, and we didn’t have to lift a finger as they set up our camp and cooked dinner for us. The boat became our mode of transportation to each activity, and when we had some downtime we pulled onto the shores and either went to a local spaza shop for a beer or took a walk on the beach. The lodge we stayed at was the Tapiri lodge and the stay was comfortable with a room that felt like a treehouse, surrounded by trees. It has an en-suite bathroom and air conditioning. The meals served were delicious! There was always a salad, rice, pasta, beans, fruit, local fruit juice, meat or chicken and usually fish. Either stewed or fried. We did have fried eggs for most breakfasts and a cake of sorts with tea and coffee. The only downside is that we didn’t see as many animals as we were hoping! So adjust your expectations as the jungle is so dense that it makes it almost impossible to spot anything! Most animals don’t want to be seen and probably won’t be spotted! All in all 10/10 and I would recommend it to someone wanting a real jungle experience! We felt completely safe in the hands of our capable guides and thank them very much!

          Somewhat deceptive business practices
          We really enjoyed the trip and stayed in a floating lodge. It was great. Any tour operator could have booked it for us. My biggest beef with the services provided by Joshua's Amazon Expeditions is the "guide" they sent with us. He was literally a kid in his early twenties. He was a Philosophy or English major and was mostly translating things for us rather than guiding us. A city boy who knew very little about Amazon flora and fauna. He even complained that the company was paying him half than the guides prevailing wages, which is equally disappointing. Having said that we thoroughly enjoyed Amazon Rainforest, none the less.

          Unforgettable Amazons
          Our stay at Peacoch Ecolodge on the Mamori lake was really unforgettable for many reasons: first, the position, very secluded with perfect view on the lake and river; second, the lodge: we were the only guests and stayed in room #1, a family hut with 4 beds and the best view; third, the people: a whole family took care of us, starting from Helder - our guide, a young skilled guy who perfectly showed us everything possible, always in a relaxed and reliable way - following with his father, a perfect cooker preparing the best food (especially desserts!) every breakfast, lunch and dinner. My boy also managed to play pool with Helder’s little cute kid, Beni, and really enjoyed his time up there. Btw Helder is a pro fisher of Arapaima: if you are into fishing contact him!

          Thank you for this unforgettable experience
          Our stay at Tapiri lodge was exceptional, in all different aspects. My husband and I spent only two days there because of our hectic schedule. The lodge was comfortable and located in a magical part of the Rio Negro, near the Anavilhanas Archipelago, close to other caboclo villages, but very isolated and quiet, with a fantastic sunrise seen by the porch of the lodge (don't miss it!). The food there is all home-cooked and really delicious. The owner and his family are lovely and very hospitable. The experience was wholesome and unique. We had a fantastic guide, Kenedy, who spoke excellent English and was very communicative and knowledgable, who accommodated our schedule & mood and helped us get the most out of the trip. The company JoshuasAmazonExpeditions did a great job putting together a very demanding schedule for us, because of our limited time and unlimited wishes, and all the folks who we worked with (staff, drivers and local support) were great and very professional. Salute to our excellent boat driver Eduardo from the local village who did a fantastic job selecting the sites in the area to go fishing and night sailing. Thank you for the great experience guys!

          The perfect jungle adventure
          Our Amazon tour in Tapiri Floating Lodge was amazing! We travelled there in the middle of march and experienced four days packed with adventure, sightseeing and good company. Our main guide Marcus was the man with the plan. Such an awesome guy and rich of knowledge. Also as our guide we had Juan, which was the ultimate badass, being born and raised in the jungle. One of the best activities was our hike through the jungle and the constant knowledge sharing. Trees that walk through the jungle, seeds monkeys use as combs, tree sap which works as nature's paraffin and much, much more. The guides were also really patient with us regarding our wish to go look for animals. We saw dolphins, sloths, monkeys, Tucans, kaymans and many more. We also slept outdoors in the jungle one night which was somewhat scary, but the guides made us as safe as possible, arranging their hammocks on either side of the tourists'. Listening to sound of the jungle, the wall like thickness of it, and the smells. Incredible. In addition our accommodation at Tapiri Floating Lodge was really good. We fell in love the food, especially tasting Pirarucu for the first time. The air condition worked well, wifi was supreme and the bathroom was clean and tidy. The comfortable accommodation really mattered to be able to relax and get the most out of the adventures. All in all a perfect introduction to the jungle with awesome guides and great accommodation. Peace and love from Nora and Odin :)

          5D/4N Amazon survival tour
          Wow! What a trip. If you are after something a little more challenging and want to live outside your comfort zone for a few days this is the tour for you! It’s pretty tough living conditions, but if you’re up for sleeping in hammocks, living by candle light, making meals by campfire and being in nature you will have a great time! We booked the 4 night / 5 day survival tour in the Amazon with Joshua. Our guides Toniel and Captain Frank were great and made it an exciting, fun and interesting tour and worked hard to make sure my wife and I had a great experience and experienced/saw what the Amazon had to offer. We were fortunate enough to catch glances of the Amazon wildlife that we had travelled far to see including monkeys (Squirrel, Saki, Black Howler, Brown Woolly and Capuchin), river dolphins (Amazon and Tucuxi), Black Caiman, Piranha and Yellow-spotted River Turtle. We are also super stoked to have seen a romp of Giant River Otters! A highlight for us was cooking up Peacock Bass and Arawana on a fire by the river after catching it that day! Although not sure if this is standard for the tour as I brought along a personal rod and a few lures that did the trick! All of the organisation, food (FYI you are not expected to catch your food to eat, they bring plenty), travel to the jungle was well thought out and easy. Joshua was also very accomodating in changing the itinerary to suit our request. We travelled in January which I believe is at the start of wet season and the water levels were rising but still fairly low. After speaking with our guides it seems as though wildlife spotting and access to the jungle is best at the end of the wet season, prior to the water level retreating. I would recommend Joshua’s Amazon Expeditions for an Amazon survival tour in the Manaus region. Thanks Toniel, Captain Frank and Joshua!

          Crocs, dolphins, monkeys, piranhas, what’s not to love
          One of the biggest highlights of our entire South America trip was spending 4 days in the Amazon with Joshua’s expeditions. Our jungle guide, Toniel and captain João were the real deal. Toniel was born in the jungle, catches caiman with his bare hands and tells you campfire stories about his encounters with jaguars. Hearing about his way of life and getting to see his passion for the jungle was inspiring. Everything was super well organised and never felt rushed. Staying at Tapiri lodge was excellent. The food in camp and facilities were top notch with a diet of fish they catch daily from the same river you spend your days navigating. The family running it are super friendly and have some unusual pets, Felipe the caiman was our favourite. I’ll never get bored of sitting on the deck watching river dolphins jumping out of the water just outside your room. Could not recommend more highly.

          Perfect 3d/2n tour with stay at Samauma Lodge
          We did a 3 days/2 nights tour and stayed at Samauma Lodge. Thanks to Joshua‘s organization and flexibility we were able to change our trip according to our wishes. The Samauma Lodges was really great. It floats on the water and is the perfect spot to do tours on water and land. We got delicious food and had a really nice room. Our guide in the jungle was a local who owned Samauma Lodge with his wife. He showed us really great things in the jungle and spotted rare animals. We would totally do the same tour again!

          Boto lodge amazon experience
          Amazing experience. The transport to/from the hostel and lodge was super smooth and efficient. Marcus assisted us the whole way, we were well looked after here and even dropped us at the airport the day after. The food was lovely, with a variety of fish and meat dishes, we were fed very well. We spotted many animals, including dolphins, monkeys, birds, turtles and more. Our guide in the amazon was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and area, with their passion really shining through when we spotted caymans at night and visited a local house to learn about their culture and way of living. We appreciate we came during the dry season and during a drought, it would have been great to learn about the animals we would have seen in the rainy season. We would encourage guides to share as much information as they can on the animals/wildlife, as many to come to learn as well as see the area. As three young female travellers we felt super safe at all times! Overall we had an incredible experience with Joshua’s amazon expedition and would recommend this to anyone wanting to go visit this part of the world

          Fantastic trip, but have correct expectations
          We had a great time on this trip. Loved all the activities, sights, and adventures. Bit of advice, make sure you know to expect accomodations that are basic, very simple food, and, of course, insane heat. If you ready for it, you will enjoy your trip. Highly recommended.
