GOLDEN DORADO FISHING TOUR

AMAZING SPORT FISHING EXTENSION TO YOUR PANTANAL TRIP TO CATCH LARGE AND AGGRESSIVE GOLDEN DORADO

This is an ideal extension for clients who enjoy fishing and are finishing one of our tours in Cuiabá. Just a one-hour drive north of the city takes you to the scenic upper reaches of the Rio Cuiabá, known for its fast-flowing waters and rapids—prime habitat for the powerful Golden Dorado. These aggressive fish readily strike both artificial lures and flies, offering thrilling action.

Fishing here is done from small but comfortable aluminum boats, operated by experienced local guides who know the river intimately. While Golden Dorado in the 3 to 10+ kg range are the main draw, other species such as Piraputanga can also be caught, and the occasional Surubim catfish may surprise you. Please note that all fish must be released, as required by law.

This is a technically demanding style of fishing, requiring strong casting skills, quick lure retrieval, and physical stamina—but the rewards can be exceptional. Depending on river conditions, we may also fish the nearby Rio Manso, a smaller river that can offer better opportunities, especially earlier in the season.

Please note: the pricing listed is for an unguided trip (apart from the local fishing guide, who does not speak English). If you’d like an English-speaking guide to accompany you throughout, please contact us for options.
