Marine & Wildlife Filming
Nature documentary production throughout Brazil.
Marine and wildlife filming demands specialized equipment, patience, and deep knowledge of animal behavior and aquatic environments. Brazil hosts some of the richest biodiversity on Earth—the Pantanal wetlands with jaguars and capybaras, Amazon rainforest home to river dolphins and hyacinth macaws, and the Atlantic coast stretching from Fernando de Noronha to Jericoacoara and Ilhabela.
We connect you with experienced wildlife cinematographers across Brazil who combine filmmaking craft with field expertise. Our team coordinates Brazilian Navy harbormaster permits, ICMBio clearances for conservation units, access to Amazon and Pantanal habitats, and ANCINE liaison for international productions filming in Lençóis Maranhenses or along the rugged Serra do Mar escarpment.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What marine filming can you do in Brazil?
Brazil's Atlantic coastline offers world-class marine filming. Fernando de Noronha archipelago is a UNESCO site with clear water and dolphin spinners, Arraial do Cabo has dramatic upwellings and turtle populations, and Abrolhos hosts humpback whale migrations. Marine permits are coordinated through the Brazilian Navy's harbormaster offices (Capitania dos Portos).
What wildlife is available in Brazil?
Brazil hosts extraordinary wildlife including jaguars and giant river otters in the Pantanal, Amazon river dolphins and hyacinth macaws in the Amazon basin, capybaras, toco toucans, maned wolves in the Cerrado, and golden lion tamarins in Atlantic Forest reserves. We know where and when to find specific species.
Do you have specialized wildlife crews?
Yes, we work with experienced wildlife cinematographers who specialize in patient, ethical filming that captures natural behavior. Our specialists work regularly across the Amazon, Pantanal, and Atlantic Forest with international natural history broadcasters.
What about permits for protected species?
We assist with all necessary permits for filming protected species and in protected areas. This includes coordination with ICMBio for federal conservation units, IBAMA for environmental clearances, and ANCINE for international production support.
Can you provide underwater filming?
Yes, we offer professional underwater cinematography with RED, ARRI, and Sony cameras in underwater housings. Our divers are experienced at Fernando de Noronha, Abrolhos, and Arraial do Cabo, working safely with turtles, dolphins, and pelagic species.
What's the best season for wildlife filming?
Timing depends on target species—the dry season (June to October) is ideal for Pantanal jaguar filming and Amazon river wildlife, humpback whales arrive off Abrolhos from July to November, and sea turtle nesting peaks between November and March. We advise on seasonal windows.
