Are there seaplane tours of the Amazon near Manaus, Brazil?

Question

Any suggestions? Can you hire a seaplane to go fishing? Are they legit businesses or independent contractors? Or both?

Answer 1

There are lots of companies that run fishing trips and other tours by boat in the Amazon. There's at least one, based in São Paulo, that flies people into the bush. Ironically, I'm in the Amazon right now but the business card for the company is in my office in São Paulo. I can try to remember to post that information here when I return. In the meantime, you might also want to post your inquiry to the forum on BrazilMax - http://www.BrazilMax.com. Besides perhaps generating resposes, that will remind me to check into this when I get back to São Paulo.
