Rio Sucuri
Duration2 hrs, 10 mins
The Rio Sucuri snorkeling tour is an immersion in nature that redefines the concept of crystal-clear water. Due to the high concentration of limestone in the riverbed, the water's transparency offers visibility up to 40 meters, surpassing famous locations like the Bahamas. It is a light and relaxing activity, where the river's gentle current does most of the work, allowing you to simply float and contemplate the underwater landscape on a 1,500-meter route.
You are about to float in a river that holds a world record for transparency. The secret lies in the soil: the large amount of limestone (calcium carbonate) acts as a natural filter, allowing impurities to settle and revealing an unparalleled white-blue bottom. Prepare to see fish and aquatic vegetation in surprising detail.
By choosing Rio Sucuri, you support sustainability projects like "Educando com Turismo," which includes initiatives such as Agroforestry (soil recovery) and the Meliponary (stingless bee breeding, essential for pollination). This is ecotourism that promotes environmental regeneration practically, ensuring your tour has a positive impact on the Bonito MS ecosystem.

Trail to the Spring: Next, you will walk a light interpretive trail of 500 meters through the riparian forest, observing the springs until you reach the main deck.
The Flotation: The highlight is the 1,500-meter route. You glide smoothly, carried by the current, observing the underwater life. The maximum depth is 3 meters.
Guaranteed Safety: Throughout the journey, a guide floats beside you, and a support boat accompanies the group just a few meters away, ready for immediate assistance.
