6.Boat Trip to Tigre with Puerto de Frutos

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 100 reviews · 4h 30m · from $83

Leave Puerto Madero by catamaran for a two-hour ride past Buenos Aires and into the Paraná Delta, then see Tigre by guided bus and enjoy time at Puerto de Frutos. English, Spanish, and Portuguese guides and boat audio are available. The return to Buenos Aires is by bus, not boat.

“It gets interesting while in the “canals” of the river because there isn’t much to see prior to that. The audio is not synced on the boat when providing descriptions which makes it pointless. I wish we had more time in Puerto Frutos because you can’t do much in 30mn… also the boat is only a one way trip, bus for the other way, which should be better described. Nice excursion otherwise.”
