per personInside the Baía Bonita Ecological Reserve, approximately 7 km from downtown Bonito, you will find the first snorkeling tour opened to the public in Bonito/MS. The attraction combines quick access, a well-established operation, and a river route designed for those who want to observe underwater life without needing to know how to swim.
Before entering the water, visitors go through training in the pool before the route begins, then follow a 500-meter trail to the main deck and then cover 800 meters in the Baía Bonita River.
We recommend this tour for those looking for the snorkeling tour closest to downtown Bonito, with continuous support from start to finish.
Aquário Natural operates inside the Baía Bonita Ecological Reserve, an area that combines visitation and conservation in an operation focused on ecotourism. The route takes place in the Baía Bonita River, where the water transparency allows you to observe fish and underwater vegetation throughout the tour downstream.
There are two numbers that help set expectations for visitors: the 500-meter trail leads from the support area to the main deck, and the tour covers 800 meters until the meeting point of the Formoso and Formosinho rivers.
What this means for your trip is simple: it is not a tour where you remain still at the reception area, but it also does not require heavy adventure preparation.
📍 7 km from downtown Bonito · ⏱ 2h30 · Difficulty: easy
The itinerary has clear stages, and each one prepares you for the next.
Before the trail, the team presents the equipment and conducts pool training to adjust the mask, life jacket, and floating position. This moment reduces insecurity and helps anyone who has never done this type of activity before.
After training, the group follows a 500-meter trail through riparian forest to the entry point. Along this stretch, it is common to notice the environment changing from the main facilities to the river area, with more shade and direct contact with the reserve’s vegetation.
The main part is the 800 m snorkeling tour in the Baía Bonita River until the meeting point of the Formoso and Formosinho rivers. A support boat accompanies the group throughout the entire float, offering real support to anyone who needs to interrupt the route or receive assistance along the way.
After leaving the water, visitors return to the attraction’s facilities and can use the rest areas, pool, restaurant, locker rooms, and other support areas. For those organizing the day with more than one activity, this structure makes it easier to leave the tour with more comfort.
Due to the great diversity of fauna and flora, the main highlight of the Aquário Natural snorkeling tour is, without a doubt, the experience of swimming in a true giant aquarium. In addition, this is the snorkeling tour closest to downtown Bonito.

"With proper equipment for the dive and tour training in the pool and also at the beginning of the natural aquarium, before starting the 800m route floating in the river, moving only with arm movements, always guided, accompanied, and supervised by the group’s guide. With support from a boat for those who cannot complete the route, or for emergencies, if they occur."
— Profa Lígia Cristina
