THE ADVENTURE
Join us deep in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon for one of the most unique wildlife encounters on Earth.
Here, far from the noise of modern life, lives a creature as rare and mysterious as the forest itself… the Boto, or pink river dolphin.
These dolphins are unlike anything you've seen before.
Adult males can weigh over 400 pounds and move through the water with a calm curiosity that feels almost otherworldly.
Sharing space with one, watching it emerge from the murky river with its long beak, powerful body, and soft pink hue, is something that leaves an imprint on your soul.
This isn’t just another trip.
This is for those who crave something real. Something few others have done.
It's for those who understand that the wild still holds secrets worth protecting, and witnessing a pink river dolphin in its natural habitat is one of them.
If you've ever wanted a story that no one else can tell, a moment that feels like stepping into another world, this is it.
Join us.
PLEASE NOTE: The botos are habituated dolphins. While they are 100% wild, they have been hand-fed by locals, making them very friendly. The sloths are not however, and it takes a lot of work and good eyes to find them in the trees. lol

A deposit of $800 is required to reserve your space.
