5.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.”

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!”

Choose the Paraná Delta option if you want a boat tour. Guides named on past departures include Rafael, Sebastián, Frani, Juan and Luiz.

“Did option 4- small speedboat, Tres Bocas, tren de la costa going, Mitre train returning. Guide Rafael and boat captain Danny Tiburon were great. Rafa spoke English perfectly, told funny stories, pickup was smooth. Danny drove the speedboat safely, carefully making sure we were not splashed by the wake when bigger boats would pass by. Need to read each of the options carefully as Options 1, 2, 3, 4 are all different. Bring mosquito repellent as it's marshy delta area.”
