Experience the Río Negro (Black River) from the comfort of a safe, speedy boat as you head towards a floating platform for interaction with the local porpoises. Along the way you will cross the Negro River and have the chance to swim with these docile animals. You will also observe them when they are fed by a native, giving you a closer look at their behaviour and how people here interact with them.
The trip continues to an indigenous community where you will take part in a presentation ritual and learn a little about their culture. After the visit, you will enjoy a tasty regional lunch and then watch the Meeting of the Waters, where the dark waters of the Rio Negro meet the lighter Amazon River flow. The experience combines wildlife encounters, cultural insight and a notable natural phenomenon.

Porpoises are sensitive animals and aiming at the safety of visitors and the welfare of the animals, some care is necessary:
Do not feed them;
Do not scream;
Do not intentionally touch them;
