Luxury Boat Experience On Lake Paranoá
Seen from the water, Brasília reveals a different rhythm. The city’s monumental scale softens, the skyline becomes distant, and the experience shifts toward light, movement, and atmosphere.
Luxury Boat Experience On Lake Paranoá
3 to 5 hours
All ages
Brasília – DF
What To Expect From The Experience
The experience begins at a private marina along Lake Paranoá, where you board a fully privatized boat designed for comfort, privacy, and seamless service.
Created in the late 1950s as part of Brasília’s original urban plan, the lake was designed to regulate the city’s climate and enhance its landscape. Over time, it became one of the capital’s main lifestyle settings, offering a softer and more relaxed perspective of the city.
As the boat departs, Brasília gradually unfolds from the water. Landmarks such as the JK Bridge and the surrounding shoreline create a contrast between the city’s architecture and the openness of the lake.
The navigation remains fluid, alternating between movement and quiet pauses at anchor, allowing time to swim, relax, or simply take in the surroundings.
On board, a curated open bar is available throughout the experience, featuring champagne, wines, premium spirits, and signature cocktails. This is complemented by a tailored food offering, typically centered around fresh seafood, light Brazilian dishes, and seasonal ingredients, all adapted to your preferences.
As the day progresses, the atmosphere evolves naturally. What begins as a relaxed and social setting gradually transitions toward sunset, when the lake’s open horizon and reflections create one of Brasília’s most distinctive visual moments.
For a more dynamic experience, a private DJ or curated music selection can be incorporated, maintaining a refined balance between energy and atmosphere.
The result is a seamless combination of movement, setting, and service, where the city becomes a distant backdrop and the experience unfolds at its own pace.

(Translated by Google, see original)An absolutely unforgettable journey — thank you, Brazil Exclusive Travels! From the very first email to the final goodbye, planning our trip with Brazil Exclusive Travels was a genuine pleasure, and we could not recommend them more highly. Our three-week journey across Brazil — the Lençóis Maranhenses, Salvador de Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, Angra dos Reis, the Iguaçu Falls and the Pantanal — was organized flawlessly from start to finish. A very special thank-you goes to Vincent Droesbeke, our travel consultant, who looked after us with extraordinary care both before and during the trip. He crafted an itinerary that balanced adventure, culture, nature and pure relaxation perfectly, and not a single detail was left to chance. He even came to welcome us in person when we landed in Rio — a thoughtful, personal touch that meant a great deal to us — and surprised us with a wonderful room upgrade on top of it. Every transfer, flight and connection ran perfectly, and each local guide and driver was outstanding: knowledgeable, warm and genuinely passionate about their country. The experiences they arranged were once-in-a-lifetime — a scenic flight over the Lençóis, the Iguaçu Falls from both the Brazilian and Argentine sides, and, the highlight of them all, watching a female jaguar and her cub play at sunset in the Pantanal. Thank you, Vincent and the entire BET team, for turning our dream of Brazil into reality. We will treasure these memories forever — and we will be back! Ilaria & CristianoThis agency went above and beyond for my trip to Rio de Janeiro. From the first email to getting on the plane back home. The tour guides, security team and drivers were amazing-professional , friendly and always looking out for me. I felt completely taken care of the entire time, which made the trip even more enjoyable. I'm so grateful for their support and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a stress-free, high high quality travel experience.Dara and Brazil Exclusive Travels is a 5 star plus company. I would give them 10 stars if possible! Dara and her team helped me plan a perfect Rio holiday. She had ideas on everything from tours - to restaurants - to transfers - to a Michelin level chef to cook for us! Plus Dara and her team were with us every step of the way! Honestly I have nothing negative to say about this company at all! I highly recommend them.I reached out to Brazilian exclusive travel as I was unable to order tickets for a concert for a birthday visit to São Paulo. This happens a lot when booking things if you’re not in or from Brazil but Brazilian exclusive came to the rescue!!! They ordered my tickets and did everything they could to reassure me about safely receiving them! It was a 10/10 for my experience! Quick and efficient, too! Using them to book the rest of my tours and things whilst I am there! 🩷🩷🩷🩷Brazil Exclusive Travels arranged a private tour for a corporate group of 20 people. All the logistics pre-tour handled by Felipe were very well coordinated. Communication was very clear. The team was very attentive to details. Our tour guide Juliana was amazing. I highly recommend them for experiencing the best of Rio.We spent a fantastic 2 days in Rio de Janeiro at the beginning of November. Thanks to Felipe everything went exactly as planned. The guide and driver arrived always on time, theyp were extremly polite,attentive and courteous. Tatiana, the guide was perfect, showed and told everything that could be done in just 2 days. It helped a lot that the driver always dropped us off at the closest location and waited us, as well as fast pass entrance tickets to important places. Overall it was a wonderful experience, just as we had imagined. Thanks to everyone who participated in the organisation and implementation. I recommend the office to everyone, they were very fair. Suzan from HungaryLeave with peace of mind for Brazil, in RIO by entrusting Camille with the care of organizing your stay. With a perfect knowledge of RIO and its surroundings, your efficient help and relevant advice Camille have been very valuable to us and in particular: obtaining tickets for a match at the Maracana (delivered directly to our hotel room), putting us in touch with a French-speaking guide for a morning visit to Santa Teresa (request made the day before), organizing a transfer Ilha Grande - Rio with a stop at the Rio heliport for a flight over the city (Help in choosing the helicopter company) ... Responsiveness, Rigor, Precision and solutions provided (even to last-minute requests): Camille has a great sense of service and support for a tailor-made trip. Thank you Camille for your assistance, your discreet, pleasant and so comfortable presence, you have greatly contributed to the success of our trip.
(Translated by Google, see original)We had an amazing experience!!! Felipe Tauile went above and beyond for our guided tour to help with restaurant recommendations, reservations, and even private airport transfers. He responded immediately to all of our questions and even pivoted plans around weather cancellations. 10/10 recommend and plan to utilize his expertise for future business trips in Brazil!Went for two weeks for carnival. Dara our tour organizer and Pedro our driver were amazing at organizing everything and patient with multiple changes many of which were last minute as we learned more on the ground about different events or places we should experience. Although definitely on the higher side price wise it is worth it if you want a stress free private experience. We will definitely be recommending to any friends traveling to Rio. Anyone who enjoys history should definitely take the private tours as it is you with a guide fluent in your language and whom are very sociable. If you have a lack of plans or want a more dynamic day I’d book the car for the day. The drivers can recommend places to shop, beach, eat etc as can Dada. Ubers can take a while and even the Uber blacks are basic Toyota Camrys and not always in the best of shape.
