Our stay at the Dolpin Lodge was exceptional. I can't decide what we liked most but I think our highlight were the incredible guides (our guide Romario was just the best) their flexibility when it came to all of the tours and activities and the fantastic food. We had a pretty tight schedule and they let us add an extra activity to one of the days because we had to leave so early on our last day. Before we arrived they had already sent us a lot of information which was very helpful and always responded right away. We got picked up from our hotel in the morning and the transfer was perfect. When we got to the Dolphin Lodge we received a welcome cocktail which was delicious and got taken to our room. As we were there during rainy season our bungalow was above the water which was amazing and they had prepared it beautifully. We did various activities over the next few days and loved all of them. There was one guide per couple / room for the whole stay and they were all incrediby knowledgeable. The food for breakfast, lunch and dinner was superb, so many fresh flavours. One one of the days we caught some fish and they prepared them for us there, again everything just delicious. We would 100% recommend this place to anybody wanting to explore the Amazon region.

We spent four nights here and loved it. You don’t get the concentration of wildlife to spot as you do in the Pantanal. But what you do get is an immersion in how people live in the Amazon rainforest, as well as some incredible spots. There’s a lot of laughter and fun, rain, sun, river dolphins, caiman, macaques, sloths, amazing bird life, fruits of all shape and sizes, boat trips along the river, sunset swims, walks through the rainforest, piranha fisbing, kayaking, meeting people who live here, the school boat, manioc production, and Lola the parrot. Highlights were seeing huge blue butterflies fluttering across the water, sleeping in hammocks under mosquito nets in the rainforest, and the house caipirinhas.

The lodge is amazing, with beautiful rooms, good food and relaxing common areas. Tours and transfers are very well organised, but the real gems are our guides Kemel and Matheus; they made us live one the best experiences of our lives! Highly recommended!

They cared and the overall experience was amazing . Slightly rustic accommodation but high value. Great all-round inclusive of hiking, tours and meals. The meals were great. Anailson our guide and our local guide were of the highest class. Such a great experience.
