Well legal

Very cool, only lasts a short time. Let's go when the sun's down fishing piranhas and then see jacarés. Jacarés are pretty shy and as soon as they see us jump in the water, but the guide managed to catch a Maybe the price could be a little better for the period of time and distance from the place

It was exceptional!...

It was exceptional! Alexandre in particular did a fantastic job and was really flexible in dealing with delays to an earlier tour we were on.

Not private, not in English

This tour is not private as advertised, we were paired with a group of 6 strangers. Also the guide was very nice but spoke zero English so really couldn’t ask any questions. The description also says it includes going to the meeting of the waters, which did not happen. Piranha fishing was well over an hour and no one caught any piranha, definitely would have preferred seeing the meeting of the waters and less time spent fishing for nothing. The alligator was cool and the night boat ride was nice but overall not sure I’d recommend, there are probably better tours out there.

charter state

Contrary to the Amazon river tour, which was crowded with participants on a daytime cheapie, I was the only one who was available. Head to the other side in a slightly smaller boat and enjoy piranha fishing until dark. After sunset, use a flashlight to illuminate the riverbank and look for crocodiles. When illuminated from a distance by a flashlight, the crocodile's eyes glow in an interesting way. The crocodile was hard to catch that day, but the Guide persisted in searching for it and caught a small crocodile to show us. It was fun to experience something more Amazon-like than a tour like an amusement during the day.

Blasting 💥!

Was an awesome experience with excellent guidance by Antonio. The logistics of moving around it were pretty good as well.
