Dolphins Interacting Novo Airão

 

 

 

Novo Airão is situated around 180 km. from Manaus down the Rio Negro. It is a new town, as the name suggests, built in the 1940s after Velho Airão (Old Airão)  (100 km further down the river) was hit by a plague of ants, or political intrigue, or both, depending on who you are talking to.

The main attraction of Novo Airão is its situation on the banks of the Rio Negro at the entrance to the Anavilhanas archipelago, which has some 400 islands and beautiful sandy beaches when the river is low (July through November).

However, most visitors come to Novo Airão to swim with the pink dolphins and to feed them at one of the beach floating bars.

The bus from Manaus Rodoviária (bus station) to Novo Airão leaves at 6 a.m. in the morning, and takes 4 hours for approx. 200 km. Another option is to combine the visit to Novo Airao with a jungle tour organized by Amazing Tours Agency.

The tour inclues: Lunch, guide, mineral water, swim with the pink dolphin, hotel pick up, hotel drop off.
