Snorkeling at Sucuri River

Snorkeling at Sucuri River is one of the most popular activities in Bonito MS Brazil. Sucuri River's waters are often ranked amongst the clearest in the world. The transparency makes this an unforgettable snorkeling experience, because sometimes you can see the underwater views so clearly that it feels like flying! It's gorgeous!

Sucuri means anaconda and this river got its name because looking from up high, the shape and color resemble a snake.

OPERATION*:

- When you arrive at the main areas, hand your voucher to the front desk staff;
- Pay attention to the directions about time and group organization, since there are never more than 9 people at once;
- At the activity's time, the guide will get the group together to give more directions and hand out the included equipment: Wetsuit, mask, snorkel, and shoes;
- The group can use the changing rooms to get ready and leave personal belongings in the lockers assigned by the guide;
- Depending on the group, there could be a short snorkeling orientation in the pool;
- After rinsing off, the group boards a small safari vehicle that will drive everyone over to the trailhead;
- The nature walk around the trails lasts about 20 to 30 minutes and serves to show several of the crystal clear river springs as well as the healthy forest that surrounds it;
- After seeing the springs, the group beings snorkeling at one of the docks built on the river bed;
- Leaving the docks, the light current sets the pace as the group snorkels the 1200 meters down the river;
- The guide follows along on a rowboat;
- The small safari vehicle awaits at the exit point to bring people back to the main areas;
- Back in the main areas, everyone is free to change and return the equipment;
