Pororoca

Pororoca - the standing wave

Tropical Islands makes it possible: surfing in the tropics. Feel like you're on holiday on the waves of Hawaii - in Brandenburg, very close to Berlin! The attraction is proudly called Pororoca, which means "big rumble". The phenomenon occurs once a year on the Amazon. Triggered by the tides, at full moon, especially in March and April, the tidal wave is pushed up the Amazon River by the ocean. The waves can reach a height of up to four metres in some places, making it a Mecca for surfers.
