Amazon River Boat Tours

Manaus's most popular way to experience the Amazon, these guided boat tours navigate the river's main channel and tributaries where pink river dolphins, giant river otters, and exotic birds can be spotted in their natural habitat. Tours typically depart from the harbor district and range from half-day excursions to multi-day jungle expeditions, offering encounters with indigenous communities and opportunities to swim in natural pools surrounded by towering rainforest canopy. Your knowledgeable local guide transforms the river into a living encyclopedia, pointing out medicinal plants, explaining animal behavior, and sharing stories of life along the world's mightiest river.
