Planning a trip to Bonito is exciting. You have already chosen the destination, imagined yourself floating in crystal clear rivers, and pictured those impressive caves. Now the big question appears: How do I book everything safely, and which agency can I trust the most?

The answer is simple: good planning, full transparency, and the support of Bonito Travel.

In Bonito, tourism follows a strict Digital Single Voucher system created by the municipality to protect the environment and ensure responsible visitation.

This means you do not buy tickets directly from the attractions or farms. Everything is booked through accredited agencies such as Bonito Travel.

This system is actually your greatest layer of safety because it standardizes operations and guarantees the integrity of your reservation.

In this complete guide, Bonito Travel explains the 3 simple and safe steps to book your trip and also answers all your questions about payments, cancellations, and our exclusive support.


The Unique Booking System in Bonito Understanding the Rules


Before we go into the step by step, it is essential to understand how tourism in Bonito MS works.


1. Visitor Limits and Sustainability

Bonito is one of the most organized eco tourism destinations in the world. Municipal legislation Lei Complementar number 37/2000 sets a maximum number of visitors per day for each attraction, the so called carrying capacity. This exists to protect nature and to keep the quality of your experience.

What does this mean for you.

Tours such as Blue Lake Grotto, Snorkeling at Rio da Prata and Abismo Anhumas have very limited spaces and often sell out long in advance, especially in peak season school holidays and public holidays. Booking with Bonito Travel is not just a convenience, it is a real necessity if you want to secure your spot.


2. The Digital Voucher Your Official Ticket

Your ticket for any tour is the Digital Voucher issued by the agency in the city wide Booking System.

It is an official document that proves your reservation.

It contains all details your name, tax number CPF, time, attraction and the amount paid.

It is the only way to access the attraction and it is validated at the entrance gate.

Without a voucher issued by an agency there is no tour. This centralized system protects you against fraud and ensures that the revenue helps maintain the preservation structure of the region.


The Safe Booking Process In 3 Steps

Your reservation with us has been simplified to be fast, clear and above all safe.

Follow these three steps to secure your complete itinerary in Bonito.


👣 Step 1 Defining Your Itinerary and Checking Availability


The first contact is the moment when your travel dream meets the reality of Bonito.


A. Choosing Your Style and Understanding the Recommended Timing

Define Your Travel Style. Do you prefer adventure with activities like diving and tubing, a contemplative style with snorkeling and caves, or a mix of both.

Talk to a Travel Consultant. You can reach us on WhatsApp, by phone or email. Our consultants specialize in Bonito and they do more than sell tours. They organize the full logistics of your itinerary to optimize your time and your budget.

Bonito Travel Gold Tip. We recommend booking 3 to 6 months in advance if your trip falls on holidays, Christmas, New Year or the July vacation period. In low season, booking 1 to 2 months ahead is usually enough to secure the most popular tours.


B. Confirming Availability

With your dates and chosen activities, your Bonito Travel consultant checks the Single Voucher System in real time to confirm available spaces and schedules.

After that, we prepare a Detailed Reservation Proposal with the full cost, the day by day itinerary and the payment options.


Step 2 Confirming Your Request and Ensuring Financial Safety

This is the moment when your reservation becomes official.


A. The Reservation Deposit

In Bonito, it is standard practice to place a deposit or make the full payment so the agency can secure your spaces in the system.

To make sure the availability checked in Step 1 is not lost while the full payment is being processed, we request a Deposit or Full Payment which can be split into up to ten installments. The deposit usually ranges from thirty to fifty percent of the total package value and allows the consultant to pre reserve your vouchers.

Why is this safe. Without the deposit, your spaces in the city system remain open for any other agency, and you risk losing popular tours like Blue Lake Grotto within minutes.

Clear Policies with No Fine Print for Cancellations and Rescheduling

One of the biggest concerns when booking in advance is what happens if something unexpected occurs. We work with complete transparency, always following the Consumer Protection Code and the specific rules of each attraction.


1. Cancellations Due to Weather Conditions or Official Closures Force Majeure

In Bonito, safety always comes first. If an attraction is closed due to weather conditions such as heavy rain or river flooding, or by decision of the environmental authority, the tour is officially canceled by the attraction.

If this happens, Bonito Travel will provide a full refund of the amount paid for the canceled tour or we will reschedule the activity for another date or time during your stay if availability exists.

Important. Tours are outdoor activities. A cloudy sky or normal rain does not mean cancellation. Only closures that affect safety result in a canceled tour.


2. Voluntary Cancellation or No Show

If you need to cancel your trip, it is essential to notify us as soon as possible in writing through formal email. Refund rules apply to the value of the attraction and to the package contracted.

Notice Period 

General Penalty Rule

Up to seven days after booking if unused

Full refund Right of Withdrawal

Between nineteen and seven days before the trip 

Retention of thirty percent of the total package value

Less than seven days before the trip or No Show

Attention to Specific ToursSome attractions such as Blue Lake Grotto and Abismo Anhumas have stricter cancellation rules and in some cases do not accept cancellations after the reservation is confirmed.

Our consultants will highlight these details before you finalize your purchase.


3. Changing or Rescheduling Your Itinerary

Rescheduling dates and times always depends on available spaces and approval from the attraction.If the change places your visit in a different season for example, moving from low season to high season, a price difference may apply.
