This endangered dolphin is the largest of the river dolphin species, with adult males weighing over 400 lbs.

This is a journey that goes beyond the beaten path, where the mythical pink river dolphin, becomes a chapter in your story.

It's not just a rare dolphin; it's a privilege reserved for those seeking extraordinary wildlife.
