Private excursions along the Amazon

[t60]

We are visiting these ports Feb 2016, as usual the cruise line has a few excursions but we hate it when about 5 of 6 coaches descend en masse and so try to do private excursions if possible. Does any one have any recommendations for these Ports of call please. Santarem, Boca da Valeria, and of course Manaus wehre we will be overnight. We were looking at the cruise offering of an overnight in a Jungle Lodge Ariau, but the more recent reviews have not been favourable (bed bugs etc)

Ant suggestions, recomendations would be appreciated

Boca da Valeria is a village right there. No busses.
