This experience offers both snorkeling and minimal scuba diving.

Scuba diving is utilized when the snakes are deep or hidden in the river's undergrowth.

We suggest bringing your own mask and snorkel, along with short snorkel fins.

Our provider will furnish the necessary dive gear for the expedition.

Please note that these expeditions involve wild animal encounters, and while there is never any guarantee of sighting wildlife, we strategically plan our visits during the best times of the year for the greatest chances of success.

We want to highlight that touching wildlife is strictly NOT permitted.

Every encounter is unique, and the duration is solely at the discretion of the animals.

Participants caught manhandling wildlife may be asked to leave the water or the area.

It's essential to maintain a safe distance and show utmost respect towards wildlife.

We know there's never a certainty, but during our expeditions, we've had a remarkable record. We've encountered anacondas on all of the trips we've run, making this an exceptional opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

PLEASE NOTE: We limit our time with the snakes. If the animal is showing signs of stress, we will leave the animal alone and go find other wildlife to encounter. 



YOUR SAFETY AND THE WELL-BEING OF THE ANIMALS ARE OUR TOP PRIORITIES.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in preserving the beauty of the wildlife and their environment.

Solo Travelers signing up for land-based trips individually will be charged the single occupancy rate.

To help keep costs down, you have the option to inform us if you would like to share a room with another solo guest of the same sex.

We'll make every effort to find you a roommate. However, if no one else wishes to share, you will be charged for a single room.
