Tigre: River Delta Panoramic Boat Tour

2.River Delta Panoramic Boat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 294 reviews · 1 hour · from $18Best value

Board Sturla Viajes at Tigre’s fluvial station for a one-hour panoramic cruise through the Luján, Carapachay, Angostura, Sarmiento, and Espera rivers. An English, Spanish, and Portuguese audioguide explains the island lifestyle as you pass homes, schools, churches, and the Delta Tierra reserve. The open upper deck gives the best views, though seats can fill quickly.

“The boat was on time. It was nice that the deck had enough space for all the passengers and provided good views. Unfortunately it wasn't a very scenic boat trip - this trip is basically going past hundreds of houses that look like they're about to flood and Tigre is an ugly, brown river. In terms of logistics everything was fine, but I don't think it's a great tourist attraction :).”

“The lady guide was non -professional. She could have told me in the very beginning that I am not part of her private tour. That's why it was surprising to me when found out that I won't be allowed to enter the van and visit the town! It's been frustrating anyway cause others looked at me as I were an alien ! Anyway, you could have told me before the trip begins ! On the other hand, the Naval crew was awesome!”

Nobody came, so I called the contact number which they state is for emergency only (there isn’t other number and I suppose this counts as an emergency?), they told me that the pick-up is at 9:40 which was actually the time at which I called and I told them there is nobody here. So, they tell me to wait and that the bus will…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 50 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $365Top rated

Join Santiago and his crew at Club Náutico San Isidro for a four-hour private sail on the Río de la Plata. Taste handpicked Argentine wines with a sommelier, enjoy artisanal tapas, and watch the sunset from the water. The cruise returns to the same marina and suits couples, families, or small groups wanting a calm break from city sightseeing.

“Santiago was a wonderful and charming host! We had a lovely evening spent sailing and learning about local wines. The charcuterie board was much more than we expected, especially with the addition of freshly made empanadas. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to have a local adventure outside of the typical city sights. It was truly a prefect evening!”
