This combo is designed for those who want to spend the day on the Formoso River with variety, without turning the program into a heavy sequence of activities.
The boat ride takes 2 hours in the morning, covering 5 km of river with three waterfalls and two rapids, including a swimming stop along the way.
Stand up paddle and river tubing come in the afternoon in 15 to 25-minute blocks, with real time for swimming and resting at the natural swimming area between blocks. The combination works for families with children from 5 years old, couples, and groups with different paces — we recommend it for those seeking a complete water day with easy difficulty and rhythm alternation.

Eco Park Porto da Ilha is located 11.6 km from downtown Bonito, about a 15-minute drive, within a 3-hectare ecological reserve dedicated to activities on the Formoso River.
The riparian forest accompanies the river tubing access route and the section navigated by the boat, while the natural swimming area concentrates the swimming and rest time. The team provides technical guidance before each activity begins and accompanies the group throughout the entire route.
The main difference with this combo lies in how the day is distributed between activity blocks and breaks at the natural swimming area. The longest block is concentrated in the morning, and the afternoon brings together the shorter activities with intervals for river swimming and rest. Those expecting a fast-paced adrenaline package usually enjoy it more when they understand this rhythm alternation from the start.

The combo showcases the Formoso River at different paces, and understanding this division helps set the right expectations for the day. Each stage has its own level of physical involvement, which allows people with different energy levels to enjoy the same tour.
The most common sequence places the boat ride in the morning and the individual activities in the afternoon, with the natural swimming area as the support point between blocks.
The first block is usually the boat ride, done in inflatable boats along 5 km of river. Along this stretch, the group passes three waterfalls and two rapids, with a swimming stop midway through the route.
The activity takes about 2 hours and concentrates the longest part of the combo, typically done in the morning. The guide's accompaniment ensures everyone enjoys each point safely.
For river tubing, access begins with a 900-meter trail through the riparian forest to the river entry point. The descent follows in an individual tube for 1,200 meters, passing through eight rapids along the way. The activity lasts between 15 and 25 minutes and is usually done in the afternoon. The individual nature of the tube gives visitors more autonomy during the rapids.
Stand up paddle comes in as the most free-flowing part of the combo, lasting between 15 and 25 minutes. The visitor stands on the board and uses a paddle to move across the waters of the Formoso River.
The activity allows more autonomy over pace and direction, and also typically takes place in the afternoon. It's the most relaxed moment of the day, ideal for those who want to paddle at their own pace.
Between one activity and another, the day use at Eco Park Porto da Ilha sustains the tour as a full-day experience. This is where the group organizes rest, river swimming, and the pause between activity blocks. We recommend the combo for those who want to enjoy the attraction without rushing.
