Leave Buenos Aires behind for a private 4-to-5-hour boat outing through Tigre’s small canals and riverside communities. Guides such as Lautaro, Etienne, and Fernando tailor the route, with time for birdwatching, a swim, a beach bar, or a meal at a rustic riverside spot. The tour starts at noon and returns to its meeting point.

“Unique and memorable experience on the Tigre Delta. Was a personalized tour. Lautaro was a wonderful guide and passionate about island life. We learned a lot about the nature and history of the region. He even welcomed us into his family home to share coffee and snacks, which added light to our cold and dreary day. Such a different experience from the hustle and bustle of Buenos Aries. Beautiful scenery through narrow tributaries not accessible by larger boats. Must do experience not to be missed! 6/5 stars!”

“BEST TOUR!!! Our captain and guide were the most wonderful father son duo who expertly cruised us around Rio de la Plata and more. They pointed out different animal and plant species and took us to lunch off the beaten path at a fantastic family run local restaurant where we had incredible empanadas, and even had an impromptu tango lesson! A truly beautiful day, spent with wonderful people. A MUST DO when visiting Buenos Aires! 10/10”
