Board a speedboat at the pier and set out on an approximately 90-minute scenic cruise upstream on the Rio Negro. You’re headed to a community on the shores of Lake Acajatuba. Some years ago, two local girls began feeding the resident, and now very famous, pink dolphins from a floating pier. These beautiful cetaceans have since become very accustomed to having human visitors. Today, you’ll have the opportunity to see and touch dolphins as you stand on a submerged platform, and your guide hand-feeds these amazing creatures. Check out the village lifestyle as you browse for local handicrafts before returning to the pier by boat.
Notes:
The speedboat ride is 1.5 hours each way. Eat a hearty meal before you depart, as this tour does not include a snack or meal. Wear your swimsuit under your clothing; bring a towel, reef-safe/biodegradable sunscreen, light clothing to act as a full cover-up for further protection from the sun, and a hat. Swim at your own risk. Bring insect repellent. Bring a light, waterproof outer layer. Do not wear jewelry, as this can injure the dolphins’ skin. The rainy season in the Amazon extends from December through March. Limited tourism infrastructure is part of the charm here; you are trading breadth of experience for authentic interaction. Please bring your spirit of adventure and bear with any language difficulties or operational surprises that may crop up. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. Waiver must be signed and medical conditions disclosed. Guests who are pregnant or have a heart, back or neck condition are not allowed to participate.
