Really memorable trip - swam with the gentle dolphins, saw a floating village, the meeting of the Rio Negro and Amazon River where the black water meets the muddy brown river, short walk through the rainforest on a boardwalk (pull on a long sleeve top, wear long pants and trainers - there are mosquitos and biting ants!) great buffet lunch where we could also buy local handicrafts and met the tribe who played music and danced.
There is a tiny changing room at the swim site. The river is clean and warm and you get a life jacket to help you float; you don't go far out and there is an underwater platform near the jetty you can stand on too. Don't touch the dolphin's heads (breathing holes) but you can stroke their beaks and don't forget a towel!
