The Formoso River raft ride in Bonito MS Brazil has a lot of tradition, because it was one of the first activities to be implemented in the area's natural wonders.
Formoso River is one of the main rivers in Bonito. Its water are crystal clear, however, because the raft ride happens in an area where the river is wide and deep, it may look less transparent than near the springs, for example. Either way, the views throughout the activity are gorgeous! Some groups may be lucky enough to see monkeys, birds, or other animals.
It is important to know that this raft ride is different from the idea of "going rafting". Rafting tends to be small rafts, that hold up to 6 people, going down agitated waters. This activity happens in larger rafts, up to 11 people, that go down mostly calm and chill waters. There are some falls and challenges, but most of the activity has relaxing and contemplative vibes, except for the little water fights and raft competitions the instructors encourage!
There are different raft ride operators in Bonito. H2O Ecoturismo e Eventos usually works with the one called EcoPark Porto da Ilha, due to safety and the fact that this operator offers access to Porto da Ilha itself. Porto da Ilha is a place where you can sunbathe, swim in the river, or even have lunch. It is important that you double check which raft operator is scheduled in your reservation.
This whole operation usually lasts around 2 hours, but it can very due to weather conditions, river conditions, and/or specific group needs.
