Transpantanal
Transpantanal hotel boat moored on the river, seen from the air at dusk

On board

Your window opens onto the river

Our base floats where the Piquiri and the São Lourenço meet. You sleep where the jaguar hunts, wake up with the river at your door and are back on the water in minutes, with no road and no rush.

The vessels

Three ways to sleep on the water

All moored at the same spot, all with daily departures into the channels and lagoons. What changes is the comfort on board, never the access to the Pantanal.

Our luxury suites: around 30 m², a panoramic window onto the river and the kind of silence that only exists in the middle of the Pantanal.

  • Around 30 m² per suite
  • Panoramic river view
  • Private bathroom with shower
  • Air conditioning and premium bedding
  • Sitting area with armchairs

Comfort and company

Panoramic Boat

The hotel boat for those who want comfort and life on board: air-conditioned rooms, a restaurant with a view and a high deck with a pool for the hot afternoons.

The common areas take up the whole main deck, with lounges, game tables and long windows that frame the forest going by. At the end of the day the top deck becomes a lookout, and the sunset lands right in the pool.

  • Rooms with air conditioning and bathroom
  • Top deck with a pool
  • Restaurant facing the river
  • Lounges and game tables
  • Great for families and groups
  • Serves both fishing and wildlife trips

Built for fishing

Balsa Transpantanal

The boat for serious fishing: simple, well kept cabins, a generous dining room and the skiff waiting alongside, ready to leave before sunrise.

Nothing here competes with the essentials. Air-conditioned cabins with a bathroom, fresh bedding, coffee served early and a full day on the water with a skipper who knows every lagoon on the Piquiri and the São Lourenço.

  • Cabins with air conditioning and bathroom
  • Dining room with full board
  • Fishing departures at first light
  • Skiffs with experienced skippers
  • Space for tackle and bait
  • Best value per fishing day

Facilities

Everything the river does not offer, on board

The base floats, but nothing about it is improvised. The vessels are moored together, and the structure is shared by those who come to fish and those who come for the wildlife.

  • Air conditioning

    In every suite, room and cabin, running all night on our own generators.

  • Restaurant on board

    Full board, with breakfast, lunch, dinner and Pantanal cooking served buffet style.

  • Decks and pool

    A top deck with a pool, loungers and the finest view of the river at dusk.

  • Skiffs and skippers

    A fleet of equipped skiffs, with skippers who have navigated these rivers for decades.

  • Power and hot water

    Power around the clock, hot water in the bathrooms and charging points for cameras and phones.

  • Guides and support

    Crew on board, field guides and radio support on every trip out onto the water.

Buffet served on board, with hot dishes and a salad island

Life on board

The day starts early and ends on the deck

The routine follows the river, not the clock. You leave before the heat, come back for lunch, and the afternoon starts again when the light softens and the wildlife comes down to the banks.

Meals are served buffet style, with river fish, meat, pasta, salads and homemade desserts. Between trips the common areas stay open: coffee all day, game tables and a hammock that is always free.

  1. 5:30 am

    Coffee and departure

    Breakfast served early and the skiffs on the water before the sun climbs, the best hour for wildlife.

  2. 12:00 pm

    Lunch on board

    Back to the boat, a buffet lunch and a pause on the deck through the midday heat.

  3. 3:30 pm

    Second departure

    Back into the channels and lagoons in the low afternoon light, when the jaguars come down to drink.

  4. 7:30 pm

    Dinner and stories

    Dinner served, the day's photographs passed around the table and the dark river outside the windows.
