Approximate directions. Distances in km from the center of Bonito.
This is the complete list of tours registered in this guide, including those in Jardim and Bodoquena that are sold as part of the Bonito circuit in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Each card shows the distance from the town center, duration, effort rating, minimum age where known, and a reference price with the date it was checked.
How booking works
No attraction in Bonito sells tickets at the gate. You book through a licensed agency, which issues the single voucher with your name, date and time slot. The ticket price is set by the attraction and is the same at every agency; what varies is transport, which may be included or quoted separately. Prices on this list are references quoted by agencies in September 2026, in Brazilian reais (BRL), and should be confirmed when you book.
The categories
- River snorkeling (flutuação): drifting down a river with mask, snorkel, life vest and wetsuit, accompanied by a guide. The most typical Bonito experience. Rivers compared in snorkeling in Bonito.

Effort and age
Each tour has an effort rating from 1 (very easy) to 5 (demanding). Most sit between 1 and 3. What pushes the rating up is stairways (Blue Lake Cave, Boca da Onça), long trails and technical tours (Anhumas Abyss). Minimum ages are those stated by the agencies; when the field is empty, we have no confirmed information and you should ask when booking.
