Being only able to speak English, and having done other tours where this was problematic, Billy made sure that he included me in all conversations, throughout, not just as a “tagline” at the end of the conversation in Portuguese. From the moment Billy met me at my hotel, I knew that this was going to be a professional tour, unlike previous tours I had done the two days prior, with another business. Along the drive to our boat, Billy kept us informed, not only about landmarks and historical information, but also about what they would be doing, e.g. stops along the way. The boat ride through the river, leading up to the Rio Negro, was full of beauty and commentary from Billy, who showed immense pride in his homeland, (with the occasional swim here and there). The lunch that Paulo and his wife put on, was amazing. Paulo’s teachings while we walked through the jungle, translated constantly by Billy, was amazing, allowing us to sample some of the liquids and excretions from the trees and plants, as is still practiced today. Even on the journey back to the hotel, Billy was still upbeat and effervescent. I cannot recommend this tour enough

Excellent experience throughout. There was always an activity in the morning and the afternoon and plenty of time to chill out. The food was great and cooked fresh every day and the guides were knowledgable. The lodge was basic but has everything you needed - easily the best wifi I’ve had anywhere I’ve stayed. Thank you anaconda team.

Had a great time fishing for piranhas and seeing an alligator. I would recommend for anyone. Bring repellent. Guide was amazing

I went to the Anaconda Lodge for the 4 day tour recently in October 2024 and had a really great time. All the staff there were very friendly and helpful. My room had powerful air conditioning each night. Everything was well organized with an activity in the morning and afternoon along with plenty of free time to relax at the lodge or go for a hike. The meals were very good with fish and chicken at lunch and dinner and eggs and a meat at breakfast along with vegetables and fruit at each meal. The lodge was nice with a pool I swam in a few times and lounge chairs and a bar with cold drinks (both alcohol and non- alcohol) that you serve yourself at and pay when you leave. The activities were fun and educational and I especially liked the overnight camping in the rainforest. We slept in hammocks with a mosquito net and had a campfire and cooked chicken over the campfire. This really was a great experience and great value for the money. Leonardo, who arranged everything, was very organized, friendly and helpful. The meeting of the waters was not part of our tour, but Leonardo organized a trip for us to take us up to see it at the end of our trip for a reasonable price which was really great to see and was much appreciated by all of us who went to see this, that he did this for us. I highly recommend this tour as I had a great time and it was great value for the money.

The listing states a jungle tour, but the one listed activity for an "educational jungle walk" on day 2 says it was 2.5 hours, and it was actually only one hour. Those of us who did not pay extra for participation in a native ritual/ceremony had to sit outside with nothing to do, no one to guide us, until the rest of the group was done. We did not get to interact with the local natives or buy anything from them as souvenirs even though this was a huge selling point for the trip for us. There was no education on their way of living or farming techniques. There was no sunrise tour in the jungle. There was no free swim in the river. There was no canoe paddling. We spent most of our time on an uncovered canoe with a small motor for hours, unprepared with extra coverage for our heads or backs during peak sun hours. Many in our tour group were unwell from the heat by the end of our trips out, and one of our friends had extreme heat exhaustion, leading to us not going on the piranha fishing expedition. While on many expeditions, the guide would simply say "we're leaving now" and then head out, not checking we all heard or were going, when we actively chose not to go for the piranha fishing, he was rude and snapped at us, switching to Portuguese to say curses, assuming we wouldn't understand. They stated on day one the itinerary would be varied based on the weather, but the changes were not communicated to everyone each day, so we were told to dress for a jungle hike in long clothes the following day, and then actually spent the entire morning on a canoe under the scorching sun unable to get proper air flow or sweat to keep us cool. Toilets and showers were clogged and there was no toilet paper or soap.

We had an amazing climbing experience on a beautiful Angelim Pedra tree of 60 meter tall. The team was very knowledgeable, precise in setting us up and explaining the steps for climbing. They were super caring and supportive the whole way up and...down. Half way the distance the leafy branches offer a canopy like a blanket, we had not fear of heights and once standing on one of the highest branch, we could see the Amazon river, and the City of Manaus. This was the highlight of our trip in the Amazon!

This trip was really great for one like me, never have been to South Africa, but always has curiosity about Amazona. All in all, it wasn’t a harsh trip, you can totally take your time while travelling with tour guide. What amazed me and my friend were that you could touch the red dolphins and alligators, which made me very happy.

All the experience has been wonderful, all the activities were well planned and accommodation was quite comfortable. A mention for Collin, who is the best guide I ever found.

Billy was AMAZING! He was very informative, polite, energetic, and encouraged us to try things we were afraid to try. Highly highly recommend!

The tour was very comfortable and the time spent was highly worth. The time spent with the local community, sumptuous lunch and visit to meeting of the rivers are worth mentioning. The tour guide and other staff were very nice and the guide explained everything with clarity. The attitude and aptitude are worth mentioning.

Amazing experience. If you have the change, book with this organization. They are taking care of you and it is a lot of fun. Sharing there knowlegde about the amazone.

Horrible, I don’t recommend it at all. They were harassing me while I was trying to get my refund since they put me in a wrong bus to go to the waterfalls. They suggested me to leave the bus in the middle of the road. I was PREGNANT and the sir named Leonardo was simply DISGUSTING. STAW WAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

I absolutely loved this trip, it's one of the best organised trips that I've done. There were 5 of us which made the trip really personal. Our guide was Francisco and he was brilliant with sharing his wealth of knowledge about the area. I enjoyed every part of the trip and we were very well looked after. I would do it again in a heartbeat - thank you!

This tours is neither good, nor bad. The good. You get to spend 4 days in the jungle hearing raw nature. You can touch the animals that the tour guide catches like the caymans Fruit tour is amazing The bad You are touching animals that’s maybe inhumane as they are wild. There is no swimming with the dolphins, just swimming in the river where the dolphins are. The tour guides are following a schedule so if they see something, and time does not permit, they don’t stop to check it out. They point it out and continue to the original intended destination Very little notice of when the schedule change so most of the time, you don’t know what you are doing Things people can’t control Electricity; when there is no electricity due to rain, sleeping becomes unbearable as it is hot out there without AC/Fan Summary I don’t fault the guides for these tour, but the structure of the organizers really should be clear with the itinerary and what to expect from this tour. Guides 4.5/5 Organizer 2/5

It was a great experience, I can only recommend it to anyone who wants to experience a little jungle adventure! The guides were great and were able to give us a good insight into the jungle.
