    80 minutes
  • Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • Porpoises are sensitive animals and aiming at the safety of visitors and the welfare of the animals, some care is necessary:
  • Do not feed them;
  • Do not scream;
  • Do not intentionally touch them;
  • Do not use sunscreen, repellent, body cream or oil. When in contact with certain products, porpoises have their eyes and smell attacked.
  • 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 is, there are possibilities of not interacting with these animals, a fact that we can only conclude on the spot on the day of the tour.
  • Regardless of weather conditions, Tours will take place normally. The above schedules may change due to weather, access, or other factors that the company believes may interfere with the safety or well-being of passengers.
  • Wear light clothes; bring a towel and swimwear. Bring sunscreen and insect repellent (remember the warning regarding contact with animals)
  • 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.
  • We suggest you taking cash in local currency in case of personal expenses with handicrafts and consumption at the bar
  • Attention: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be no interaction with the porpoises in the water for an indefinite period.
You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance of the experience for a full refund.
  • For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
  • If you cancel less than 24 hours before the experience’s start time, the amount you paid will not be refunded.
  • Any changes made less than 24 hours before the experience’s start time will not be accepted.
  • Cut-off times are based on the experience’s local time.

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!

Los guías intentaron hacerse los locos y no llevarnos a Victoria regia. Me tuve que poner muy firme y dejar claro que iba a solicitar un reembolso si no nos llevaban allí y finalmente conseguí visitar el lugar. Por lo demás, el tour fue lo esperado; se trata de una excursión muy artificial (el poblado indígena no es un poblado real, los animales que se ven están en cautividad por lo que es casi lo mismo que ir al zoo, etc.). Por tanto, si quieres conocer el Amazonas real y estás en contra del maltrato animal te recomiendo firmemente otra excursión. Si lo que buscas es ver las 4 cosas más características del Amazonas aunque sea de una forma ficticia, el tour es recomendable.

The Amazon experience excursion was excellent. First we swam with the pink river dolphins and that was delightful. Then we went to meet the native indigenous people and watch them dance and play musical instruments. That was amazing. Then we had a delicious lunch. There was also the meeting of the waters, which was interesting all in all it was a very enjoyable day.
