Bonito Snorkel & Scuba Adventure Tour

This snorkel and scuba special tour takes you to Bonito, deep in the mid-west of Brazil. This ecotourism paradise has the best of both worlds, with world-class snorkelling, unique scuba diving opportunities, and wildlife galore to be encountered, both in the aquatic life of the crystal clear rivers and cave lakes, and the wildlife of the surrounding riverbanks, wetlands and forests. The list of creatures observed in the Bonito area and the Serra da Bodoquena National Park is phenomenal, and many of them can be encountered during your journeys around the area as well as during activities. Some of the clearest rivers on earth give wonderful opportunities to snorkel amongst huge shoals of large fish such as pacu, piraputanga and the shining golden dourado. Mammals, reptiles and birds can also be visible in and around the rivers, with caiman, giant river otter and even a huge anaconda tranquilly sharing the waters with snorkellers while feeding on the abundant fish. Toucans, parrots and kingfisher add colour to the surrounding rainforest as they cross the rivers, while troops of monkey can be regularly spotted as they drop pieces of fruit from the trees for waiting fish. 

While snorkelling the rivers of Bonito it is just as rewarding to check for terrestrial life as aquatic, with giant and collared anteaters, tapir and even a jaguar all observed drinking from the river, bathing in the waters or relaxing on the muddy banks. 

This tour also has two special scuba experiences, with the Lagoa Misteriosa (Mysterious Lake) having unchartered dark depths as the bottomless lake continues to descend into the earth. The Anhumas Abyss rounds off your tour with the most adventurous activity of all. A 72m rapel down from a small hole in the forest floor and into a huge cavern is followed by a snorkel or scuba dive in the cave lake of stunning visibility amongst underwater cones formed from the deposits left to sink to the bottom of the lake as rainwater passed through the rocks in the roof. This fabulous adventure has to end with the rope climb back out of Anhumas, rounding off a unique Brazil Snorkel and Scuba Adventure in Bonito.
