Know before you book

  • Regardless of weather conditions, Tours will take place normally. The schedules may change due to weather, access, or other factors that the company believes may interfere with the safety or well-being of passengers.
  • In the period of ebb there is a phenomenon in the rivers called Piracema (fish migratory movement) which influences, in some cases, the porpoises to follow a shoal that is passing through, and for that reason does not appear as usual in the lakes where visitors are taken for this interaction; that i
  • In the period of the ebb (September to December) according to the level of the rivers, the visit to the water lilies lake is likely to be suspended, being replaced by a walk in the jungle glimpsing species of plants of the Amazon.
  • Attention: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be no interaction with the porpoises in the water for an indefinite period.
  • You will contemplate the porpoises. Swimming with them is not guaranteed.

What you can expect

After pick up at the hotels, passengers will proceed to the Port of Manaus to board the speedboat. Navigating up the Negro River towards the floating platform, we will cross the Jornalista Phelippe Daou Bridge, better known as Rio Negro Bridge. Upon arriving at the floating platform for contemplating the porpoises, it will be possible to observe these docile animals being fed by a native legalised by Ibama. Sometimes you are allowed to swim with the porpoises, but this is not guaranteed. Make sure to pack a swimming suit to be prepared if the opportunity arises. The groups are divided up to 10 people, following the environmental rules, so that everyone can have fun and contemplate this wonder of nature.

The trip continues to the indigenous community where the Indians from the upper Negro River and different ethnic groups come together to share their dances and culture. As guests of honour, tourists are invited to participate in a presentation ritual accompanied by a lot of joy and dance. After that brief moment, time will be available for photographs and purchases of local crafts. Enjoy the peace and energy to interact with the natives and live this unique moment intensely.

After this incredible experience and cultural exchange, we will descend on the left bank of Negro River, seeing the floating port of Manaus, regional boats and passing the edge of the city towards the Ecological Park Janauary to see the Amazon’s famous Victoria regia (water lilies) water plant; have a regional lunch (menu based of fish, meat or chicken, salads and accompaniments, self-service buffet).Then you will visit local native craft stores and the community of floating houses of Catalan for the contemplation of the Pirarucu (Arapaima Gigas), the sweet water giant, native of the Amazon. After that, cruise down the Rio Negro to the Meeting of the Waters, the location where it meets the Amazon River. Be awed by this natural phenomenon, where the Rio Negro’s black waters and the Amazon’s muddy waters flow separately for a few miles. After contemplating it, tourists return to the Pier, where the air conditioned transport will pick them up and take them back to their respective hotels.
