Recanto Ecológico Rio da Prata - Flutuação em Bonito MS

That was a fantastic experience
We went for the river floating but you can also do horse riding here
The tour was really well organised. The river floating experience is such an unique thing. I would say if you come to Bonito this has to be your number 1 tour.

This was a very peaceful, soothing couple hours drifting along with the current in a gentle, pristine river for just over a mile. Our guide, Helen, was very friendly and helpful, always keeping in mind our safety and respect for the environment. (She also spoke good English!) Felt like floating inside a tropical fish tank!

We loved it. Lunch is terrific. The flotation experience is also incredible, especially at the very beginning. Unforgettable.

Excellent location. Recommend the down River snorkelling if you're comfortable spending a couple of hours in the water with many fish, anacondas (which leave you alone) and monkeys.
You can't come with sun screen or repellent as it contaminates the water, environment. There are mosquitoes so consider preparing for the possibility of malaria prevention before hand, if prevalent during the season. Definitely worth the visit.
Can do the McCaw visit before and recommended as the funds help maintain their habitat.
The birds will try share meals there so be prepared to chase off, not good for them (or us).

Great excursion! Highly recommendable. Spectacularly clear water with plenty of fish. Unique is the under water spring, referred to as "the volcano".
Good guides, decent equipment, lots of attention for everybody's safety and enjoyment. 5 stars!

The farm is incredibly nice and well organized. The snorkeling activity in the river is a must when you visit here! The farm itself is also a great place to hang out: there are many different animals around and the food is amazing. Don't forget to try the homemade(!) Dolce de Leche, it really is heaven!

It is a very incredible place to visit. The structure of the place is excellent. The leased equipment is very good, the guides are great. In our pace, the guide Fabio, in addition to being very professional and very knowledgeable about the river and nature, showed special affection and care for my children. And at the end of the float ride, you have wonderful country food. I highly recommend the tour of the River Plate.

Beautiful place, good food. There are two people who speak English at the property. It's not ideal, but you can enjoy the ride even if you don't speak Portuguese. If you are coming to Bonito, it's definitely worth visiting.

Splendid lunch
Clear and cold water on a hot day. Enjoyed it a lot. Floating around in a river is perfect during the hottest time of the day
Well arranged tour.

It is a beautiful place, great people working in the place. Good food.
Was a great experience

Beautiful and peaceful float down a river. If you are looking for a way to relax this really is perfect. The water near the spring is crystal clear and you can get some awesome pictures of the fish there.

We did burn the back of our legs because we spent so. Much time face down but if you are careful it's fine.

Great snorkeling trip, the guide was very good, the water was crystal clear, and there was a lot of fish.. The fazenda was the highlight of my day..first we had lunch then were allowed to hang out and wander around as much and as long as we wanted. They have tons of fruit trees which attract all kinds of different birds...

Amazing. Just like the youtube videos. They just need more english guides. But that didn't ruin my experience. I knew enough basic Português to understand some of the instructions. However, the nature hike that you take to get to the river you may not understand without a guide speaking your language. But thats ok because the main attraction is the river..

You will start with getting your wet suit. Then you will have an orientation where they tell you about the route.

Note* the clear plastic trash bag they give you at the start is for a change of clothes when you reach the end of the river.

Then you are taken around the facilities and shown things about the ranch like their produce garden etc. Next you take a shuttle bus, which takes you closer to the river. When you get off the bus there is a short nature walk, about 20min where they will show some of the flora of Bonito.

After this walk, youll get your mask and vest. Then you float. There are two sections. You will float about 40min. Then exit and walk around a waterfall. Then float another 40min to the end. Here you will receive your bag that has the change of clothes. Then youll get on the bus back to the ranch.

Suggestion to the business: Provide an option that doesn't include a ranch tour and a shorter nature walk without stopping for explanations. That will reduce the total time it takes to complete tour. For those who have only have imited time in Bonito, it would help us do more in a single day.

Will recommend. The place is great to go and just spend the day. If you have children, they'll have a blast!

This attraction is about 45 mins from Bonito but it is so worth the drive. Take advantage and go the mystery lake(Lagoa Misteriosa) mas the Scarlet Macaws sinkhole (buraco das araras). The water is so nice and warm and the staff are very friendly. They even delivered something to our hotel that we forgot. Perfect customer service. They also make their own doce de leite.

Amazing snorkeling in crystal clear spring water with lots of fish around and a completely environment protection oriented atmosphere. The guide named Marco provides a master class of the wonderful and exquisite nature around.

One 'life time experience', nature in it's top splendor. Only few places in the world are gifted with the geological structure present in Bonito (Serra da Bodoquena) but almost any one of the few has the tropical temperature that allows the region of Bonito MS hold an impressive quantity (and colorful) fish, birds and mammals.

The snorkelling is a must, done with proper equipment, professional guides and a world class structure.

Amazing.
Take all day to enjoy this paradise.
Lunch is excellent.
Animals are an extra attraction...

Excellent. We appreciate that the farm is run using organic sustainable practices and the numbers of visitors are managed to reduce pressure on the environment

What an incredible experience ! This river is a veritable El Dorado for snorkeling in fresh waters.The crystal clear waters are a real attraction for fauna and flora. Great value is attached to protecting the environment in order not to damage these natural treasures, so only floating is allowed.

Nature as you have have never seen before ! It takes one or more flights to get there, but it is absolutely worth it !
