Manaus: 2-Day Amazon Tour with Pink Dolphins & Canoeing

Experience the authentic Amazon in Novo Airão, immersed in nature, local culture, pink river dolphins, and unique experiences on the Rio Negro.
Discover the Amazon beyond the traditional tourist routes in a 2-day experience that combines lush nature, adventure, local culture, and unforgettable moments in the heart of the Rio Negro and the Anavilhanas Archipelago.

The journey begins in Manaus, heading towards the charming city of Novo Airão, gateway to one of the most impressive landscapes in the Amazon. During the trip, a stop at the historic Paricatuba Ruins allows you to explore vestiges of the region's past in an environment surrounded by the forest, where history and nature meet in a unique way.

Upon arriving in Novo Airão, prepare to experience one of the most exciting moments of the trip: an encounter with the famous pink river dolphins. Observing these emblematic animals swimming freely in the dark waters of the Rio Negro is an enchanting experience and one of the most striking images of the Amazon.

After a lunch featuring typical regional cuisine, the tour continues with a visit to a riverside community, providing a true immersion in the Amazonian way of life. Contact with local families reveals traditions, customs, and the strong relationship that residents maintain with the rivers and the forest.

In the late afternoon, the adventure continues through the channels and flooded forests of the Anavilhanas Archipelago, considered one of the largest river archipelagos on the planet. Navigating among islands, trees reflected in the water, and untouched landscapes is an experience that impresses with its beauty and tranquility. The day ends with a refreshing river bath during a spectacular Amazonian sunset.

After accommodation in Novo Airão, the second day begins with an unforgettable setting: the sunrise on the Rio Negro in a hydrobike or Stand Up Paddle experience. The combination of the silence of the waters, the awakening of the forest, and the first rays of sun creates a moment of pure connection with nature.

The program continues with canoeing through the flooded forests and a guided walk through the primary forest, where local guides share knowledge about the fauna, flora, medicinal plants, and traditional techniques used by the peoples of the Amazon.

One of the highlights is a visit to the majestic Sumaúma tree, a giant tree that symbolizes all the strength and grandeur of the Amazon rainforest. After lunch, the cultural experience is enriched with a visit to the Association of Artisans (AANA), including a workshop on weaving with natural fibers and direct contact with the region's traditional crafts.

The return to Manaus concludes a journey full of discoveries, extraordinary landscapes, and authentic connections with nature and Amazonian culture. A perfect experience for those who wish to experience the Amazon in a genuine, intense, and unforgettable way.
