Frequently asked questions
How much does an Amazon tour from Manaus cost?
Packages start at US$ 236 per person (Amazônia Express, 2 days). Amazônia Meu Amor (3 days) starts at US$ 354, Tour Araçá (4 days) and the private Survival Tour (3 days) at US$ 472, and Expedição Aventura (5 days) at US$ 590. Lodging, meals, guides and activities are included.
How many days should I spend in the jungle?
Three days gives you the full experience: the Meeting of the Waters, canoeing in the flooded forest, caiman spotting, river dolphins and a night camping in the jungle. Two days is a good taste. With 4 or 5 days you go deeper, with piranha fishing, riverside communities and longer treks.
What is included and what is not?
We include pick-up at your Manaus hotel or the airport, transport to the lodge and back, an air-conditioned room at the Amazon Ipanema Lodge, all meals, the activities and bilingual local guides. Flights to Manaus, your hotel in the city, bar drinks and travel insurance (mandatory) are not included.
When is the best time to visit the Amazon?
Tours run all year. In the high-water season, February to August, canoes go deep into the flooded forest. In the dry season, September to January, the river drops, beaches appear and treks get longer. It is hot and humid all year, between 24 and 33 °C, and your guide adapts the plan to the river.
How do I get to the jungle lodge?
You only need to get to Manaus. We pick you up at your hotel (Manaus metropolitan area) or the airport between 7:00 and 7:30 AM and take you to the speedboat. The way to the lodge crosses the Meeting of the Waters and combines speedboat, road and canoe.
How do I book and pay?
Right here on the website, in a few minutes. Pay a 30% deposit by card (Stripe) or bank transfer (Wise) and the remaining 70% on arrival in Manaus, or pay 100% online by card. Confirmation arrives by email and WhatsApp.
Is the jungle tour safe?
Yes. Tours are led by experienced local guides, and Kyle Travels is registered with CADASTUR, Brazil's Ministry of Tourism. Always follow your guide's instructions and swim only where the guide says it is safe. The yellow fever vaccine is recommended at least 10 days before the trip.
What should I pack for the jungle?
A small backpack with light long-sleeve shirts and long trousers, swimwear, a rain jacket, closed shoes, insect repellent, sunscreen, a flashlight, a water bottle, a power bank and your passport. Most hotels in Manaus store larger luggage while you are in the jungle.
Is there Wi-Fi and phone signal at the lodge?
The lodge has optional Wi-Fi, paid on site: US$ 2 per day. Outside the lodge there is little or no phone signal or internet, so let your family know before you go.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes. If you cancel 30 days or more before the tour, you get up to 90% back after an operating fee (usually 5% to 10%). From 15 to 29 days before, up to 50%, reviewed case by case. With less than 15 days, there is generally no refund. Full details are in our cancellation policy.
