I planned a three night, 4 day trip to Jungle Lodge in the Pantanal. It all went well and I enjoyed my tour. My only criticism of the agency is regarding communications. Sometimes I had to wait very very many days to receive a response when booking. Jungle lodge itself helped me communicate with Planetexo to get details on my specific transfer to Bonito via Miranda. The lodge food and accommodations are good. There was some disorganization with activities. Overall an average experience.

While the posted itinerary varied somewhat from the actual experience, changes were made for the better, including having a dinner and lunch with local people which was very special. Kayaking (10km) and hiking, or more like walking (max 4km on one route and not sure of the shorter route's length) were my top activities; biking was fine but there are no real trails to go on and instead we biked on dirt roads and the highway for a bit (little traffic) - still wonderful to be biking on Amazonian terrain but can't do much about the fact that they are dirt roads; we decided against biking on day 2. Dipping in small rivers, streams and under waterfalls was super particularly given the humidity and heat. The guide's care and attentiveness to my needs was very good and he was excited about what we were seeing; his explanations of local geography and culture were very interesting. The quality of the truck that we used was lacking (headlights weren't working except in bright mode) and I wonder if it would have passed an overall safety test - something that needs attention. Not sure if there was a basic first aid kit on hand (I should have asked!) and we could have used a bike tool while biking, latter two matters are easy to address.

I did the 3-day jungle tour staying at Dolphin Lodge and it was excellent. The transport from Manaus all worked very smoothly. The activities at Dolphin Lodge were great and Dodo was a fun and knowledgeable guide. The food was good and the hut was comfortable. Thank you also to Elisama for the excellent planning and communication and Eduardo for the friendly welcome in Manaus. Highly recommended!

What an excellent trip in Pati Valley! What made it so fantastic was our superb guide Daniel! He made our trip a very memorable one with his enthusiasm, friendliness and expansive knowledge The homestays were wonderful and the trip was a great mixture of some challenging walks, fabulous scenery, friendship and wonderful local food We will recommend this trip to our friends as it was a true highlight of our trip to Brazil! Thank you!

Na globalidade a experiência foi incrível, o local era muito bonito e com muito conforto, o guia nativo foi maravilhoso, muito prestável e muito cuidadoso com o grupo, tendo-nos mostrado coisas maravilhosas do território e as atividades também foram muito interessantes. A equipa do lodge também era muito simpática e prestável! A equipa do Planet Exo, especialmente a Elisama, também foi muito prestável e foi um excelente apoio no processo de compra da experiência. A única coisa que considerei menos boa foi a prestação do outro Guia que nos acompanhou desde manaus, porque não era muito comunicativo nem proativo, o que foi complicado sobretudo no início da viagem porque não nos dava a informação necessária para percebermos as etapas da viagem, demonstrou não conhecer bem o que estava previsto no programa e não era tão prestável. As coisas com ele acabaram por melhorar e ele revelou-se uma pessoa simpática e acolhedora, mas sempre muito pouco proativo, o que felizmente foi compensado pelo excelente apoio do Guia nativo.

Our trip was very well organized. The lodge accommodation was perfect for the excursions. The food was very good and varied. The tours were interesting and well organized.

PlanetaEXO helped us book our Amazon adventure through Maia Expeditions, and everything was perfectly organized. Elisama and Beatriz were quick to respond and made the whole process seamless. They checked in with us every now and then. Visiting the Amazon is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I’d definitely recommend booking with PlanetaEXO.

Did a 4 day pantanal safari and everything was good. Working with PlanetaEXO and Beatriz was really easy; rapid replies, flexible, straight answers. Besides the wildlife, I really enjoyed the Pouso Alegre Lodge. I would book again with them.

I just came back from a 5 day survival trip in the amazon. The experience was amazing! It is my 3rd trip with planetaexo and it is always perfect. They picked us up in the hotel and from then on you are totally well cared by the guides that are super well knowledgeable and attentive. Our guides were Kenrick and Leandro. We saw a lof of wildlife and learned how to build a shelter, find food and stay safe in the forest. If you like a hands-on experience I totally recommend it!

Prior to travelling, the information was great and rapid responses. The logistics during the trip was without any delays and easy to go from car -> boat -> car-> boat. The chosen Dolphin Lodge was excellent with really knowledgeable guides, good food and good locations/activities. We had a wonderful time. Thanks!
