Escape Buenos Aires for a five-hour trip to Tigre, where you’ll cruise the delta for about an hour, see homes and wildlife along the waterways, explore Puerto de Frutos, and return to the Obelisco. The tour costs $50, uses an air-conditioned vehicle, and may include multilingual guiding. Pickup timing and boat size can vary, so confirm details before departure.

“Beware of the time noted on the ticket. Our ticket showed 09:00, but we were not collected from our collection point until 10:05. I did ask for the collection time to be confirmed, and the response was 09:30 to 09:50. The van was clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned. The tour leader, Georgina, had good linguistic skills and communicated well. The river cruise was excellent, and the tour of the old fruit market was terrific, even though it was short. We highly recommend this tour.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 91 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $160Top rated

Spend four to five flexible hours with a private guide such as Lautaro, Etienne, or Fernando, cruising Tigre’s narrow waterways and Rio de la Plata. Stop for photos, walks, birdwatching, swimming, a mud bath, or lunch at a rustic bar. You meet at the station kiosk and return to the same point.

“I don't usually write reviews but feel compelled to praise Fernando's exceptional service and great attitude. Even though I made a mistake Fernando made a disaster into a great day. We had a booking on Christmas day. I didn't see the email cancelling our booking because Fernando does not work on Christmas day. He took care of us anyway. His family had to go 400 Km to another city without him. He gave us the tour, then joined his family by bus. I have never seen such dedication or consideration. What could have been a disaster turned in to an excellent day. My wife and I had a great time.…”
