This was a fantastic tour. It was everything it advertised and more. From the outset dealing with Joshua was effortless- he responded quickly clearly and after our initial and enquires... read more and then follow up questions we had the tour booked in a couple of hours (we were in Brazil time).
The tour was everything it advertised and more. Our guide, Pepe, was very knowledgeable about the animals and jungle in particular and he went out oof his way to make sure we had a good experience. The cabins at the Tucan are simple (it is the Amazon) but have everything you need including efficient air conditioning and a fan and the setting is spectacular. The food in the lovely dining room was very good including daily samples of Amazon fish. There is also a large open deck with hammocks for the middle of the day when all the animals were escaping the heat. I would highly recommend this tour.

Joshua has exceeded all our expectations with his planning, punctuality and organisation. From the first boat trip to the last it was great......our guide "Cobra" couldn’t have been more helpful... read more and informative. The "Amazon Boto Lodge" was friendly with Frank "Sinatra and Thelma's cooking and preparation of all the meals was excellent. They all went that bit extra to make our stay perfect.......even when it poured with rain....and the use of a small swimming pool after a long day was again just what you wanted.......would highly recommend Joshua’s tour......

We booked the tour spontaneously (1 day before) already in august 2019. Fortunately Joshua and Enilson were able to realize this unique experience for us. We stayed in the jungle... read more for 5 days and 4 nights. Before starting we met Joshua in Manaus where he took off all our sorrows.
The next day he took us to the lodge: Already the trip was an adventure!
At the lodge we met Enilson (our guide for the days in the jungle us Joshua had to go back to the city). Enilson was a very friendly, courteous and funny guide who has a lot of knowledge about living in the jungle. Often he told us adventurer's tales of his life.
What we did:
a lot of hiking and piranha-fishing, fish-feeding, spotting a lot of animals (above all birds but also monkeys, snakes, caimons, spiders, insects, frogs, 1 armadillo), visiting a local school and a village, sleeping in hammocks in the jungle (very recommandable).
The accommodation was simple - however there was air condition and wifi!
Eating was simple too, but good, well-balanced and sufficient.
It was really worth it!
Thank you for the nice memories.
Greetings
Katharina & Raphael
