My brother and I took this 8 hour caves and waterfalls day tour and had a fantastic time! Our small group of five people (including our guide Mario) was a perfect size. The tour started with being picked up from our hotel and driving almost two hours outside of Manaus to reach the first waterfall. The waterfall was impressive, with a huge volume of water and strong current. We were able to jump/dive into the water and swim around in a safe location under the watchful eye of Mario. We then walked around one kilometer to the next waterfall which was equally impressive. After that we hopped back into the car and drove into the town to have lunch. Following lunch we drove out to a spectacular grotto where we spent time taking pictures, walking through the beautiful surroundings and enjoying the waterfalls and caves.
Insider tip, if you want the waterfalls and grottos to yourselves, book your tour for a weekday not a weekend. This will ensure that you do not have other people crowding your pictures and ruining the tranquility of the nature.
Mario was a great guide, giving us information about each place we visited as well as local flora and fauna.
We arrived back to our hotel around 18:00 tired but happy with our experience. If you want a true Amazon experience complete with nature, swimming, and a whole lot of knowledge than I would reccommend booking with this company and asking for Mario.
