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. 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. Your guide will do his/her best to speak English, but please keep in mind that the limited tourism infrastructure of Manaus is part of the city’s charm, and bear with any language difficulties he/she may encounter. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. Waiver must be signed and medical conditions disclosed. Due to the potentially bumpy boat ride, guests with back, neck or heart conditions are not allowed to participate. Pregnant women are not allowed to participate.
