5.Boat Trip to Tigre with Puerto de Frutos

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

Travel from Puerto Madero to Tigre by comfortable boat, passing Buenos Aires waterfront sights and the Paraná Delta. A guide such as Sonia, Mara, or Sofia leads the Tigre visit, with time at Puerto de Frutos before a bus return to central Buenos Aires.

“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.”

I learned a lot about life in Tigre but even more important, I had so much fun on the boat, zipping through the rivers between islands. I had a permanent smile on my face all day and was only disappointed when it was over. I highly recommend this tour over other delta safaris if you would like to try water skiing to be free to move around the boat. This is a proper speed boat unlike others that use zodiacs and you…”
