The whole trip was memorable, in such small space of time we managed to cram in so much largely down to the planning by our local specialist Camille.
All transfers were a breeze and visiting local attractions with the guide meant we skipped queues and maximised out time and overall enjoyment.
I would definitely recommend kim kim and will be using them again for our next trip.
Hotel Reviews
Great location on Copacabana beach and the staff were very friendly and looked after guests coming in and out. Rooms were clean and spacious and ideal to lounge in during the evening, shame they did not have smart TVs but there was a large section of free channels. Had a lot of choice for breakfast and the rooftop bar had great views of the surrounding area.
It was adequate for a nights stay but felt the hotel lacked character.
Considering this was in the Amazon the lodge was amazing. Staff were amazing and super helpful and had fun with google translate to communicate some of the conversations. We were really well looked after, the food was tailor made for my wife as she was a vegetarian. Rooms were clean and comfortable and given the location you have to expect some bugs, we had fun with 2 tree frogs in the room, but they were harmless. AC unit in the room was a god send as even thought there was no wifi or tv in the room it was fine as all the activities planned throughout the day meant we were on the go most the time.
Activity Reviews
Had an excelled guide and she knew all the tricks to skip the queues which meant we maximised our time at Sugar Loaf. Having a drink and some nibbles on the terrace bar was amazing as the views were spectacular ...shame it was misty as we did not get to see the sunset but you can imagine it would be spectacular. There was even a DJ performing at the top and there was a very safe and friendly vibe with all the locals and visitors.
Once again our guide knew all the tricks to get us through quickly and best places to sit on the tram and for pictures at the top.
Really insightful walking tour and nice and lovely local authentic lunch
Lovely hike, just the right pace and not too challenging. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Spectacular views at the top.
The boat trip our of Manaus was lovely but then the speedboat trip to our lodge was spectacular. Bus transfer was a bit squashed as we have lots of out tourists so the only negative would be to have a slightly larger mode of transfer or not over book passengers
All the activities were amazing and very varied and insightful, our guide was excellent and looked after us extremely well
It was sad to leave the Amazon and the transfer back seemed to quicker and after a drop off to downtown Manaus we were safely dropped off if good time at the airport.
