4The Good, Bad and MEH of the Amazon River Trip
We cruised on Oceania from Miami on 12-18-22 to 1-8-23 and am posting on our experience. Ship is nice and decorated like the Ritz - beautiful. Staff is wonderful and anxious to please, however for the most part, the staff of the Excursion Desk, Concierge and Dining Room reservations are the exception. Food was good but not exceptional. Definitely not what it used to be. We found the excursions offered were blase and not informative or scenic. Most stack you in a bus and drive by things pointing where they are. Exception is the Boi Boi Indian Festival, Meeting of the Waters (offered in several ports) and the trip to the Christ the Redeemer statue. One we should have taken was in Manaus to the REAL rainforest to one that goes to the Indian village. Heard rave reviews. The other 3 offered there go to the same place to do different things. The trip out and back were 1 1/4 each way. You will have a more pleasant return to your home if you pay for custom air. Most flights out begin at close to midnight and last time to depart ship is 9 a.m. We shortened that by doing custom and we were able to leave at 4 p,m, We did not encounter any place where the vendors did not take US currency with the exception of Rio. Also Rio was the only place where we could not communicate in English - or find a person who could translate for us easily.
5Don’t miss Vinicius’ boat when in Alter!
Don’t miss a trip in Vinicius’ boat when in Alter! Great drinks and fruits, friendly staff, stops at the nicest spots, music and dancing guaranteed on the boat.
5Amazing experience! Friendly crew!
Vinicius was an amazing host! He organized everything for us! We were in a group of 46 people!!! It was so much fun! Lots of local drinks & food, the staff on the boat super friendly! What a day!
5Incredible Amazonian Trip !!
We were with a large group of friends from a bit everywhere in the world for one week, travelling in the Amazonian region with Vini, and we had an absolutely amazing time! Highly recommended to anyone. Vini is your guy, you can trust him and Tapajo with closed eyes! Just enjoy!
5Trip of a lifetime
My husband and I have travelled to a lot of places in our our life. But this trip was the most magical we have ever been on. Vini organisation was incredible and everything was thought of. He is super smart and knew the best places to show us. His knowledge was amazing and he made the trip. He also speaks many languages so can translate where needed. We could not recommend him and his services anymore !
5Our tour guide Vinicius Villare was excellent.
We were on 2 tours with Vini. One out of Manaus on part of the Tapajo river and the other tour was out of Alter De Chao. Vini was one of the best guides we had on all of our Brazilian tours. Very knowledgable, excellent English and very entertaining. We would highly recommend his tours.

About Santarém
Santarém is a river port in Pará, in the Brazilian Amazon, where the clear green Tapajós meets the brown Amazon in a long, slow meeting of waters.
Santarém stands where the Tapajós flows into the Amazon, roughly midway between Belém and Manaus. Off the waterfront the two rivers run side by side for a stretch, the Tapajós clear and greenish-blue, the Amazon thick with brown sediment. A Jesuit mission of the seventeenth century grew into a river port, and the Tapajó people who gave the river its name are remembered in museums that show their finely modelled pottery.
