What's included in the tour?

Private vehicle transport from your Foz do Iguaçu hotel, professional English-speaking guide, entry to Argentina's Iguazu Falls National Park, boat ride through the falls, guided city tour of Puerto Iguazú (Triple Frontier, La Aripuca, La Feirinha market), and return transfer.

Will I get wet on the boat ride?

Yes—the boat intentionally navigates close to the base of the waterfalls, so expect significant spray and splashing. This is a key highlight. Wear quick-dry clothing and bring a waterproof bag for electronics.

Why the Argentina side over Brazil?

Argentina's side features nearly two-thirds of the falls and offers more extensive elevated walkways, multiple viewing angles, and longer immersive trail time. The Brazil side typically provides a distant panoramic view but fewer close-up experiences.

Is this suitable for families with young children?

Yes, with considerations: the walking trails are navigable for children with basic fitness, and the boat ride is thrilling but can be intense for very young kids (roughly ages 6+). Ask your operator about child-specific guidance when booking.

What's the difference between a private tour and a group tour?

This private tour gives you a dedicated guide and vehicle on your schedule, allowing flexibility in pacing and photo stops. Group tours operate on fixed itineraries with larger groups. Private tours typically cost more but offer personalised service.

Quick-dry clothing, waterproof phone case or bag, comfortable walking shoes, sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), a change of clothes for the boat ride, and cash or card for meals at La Feirinha market.

About this activity

Explore Argentina's two-thirds share of Iguazu Falls with a private guide and vehicle, combining immersive trail walks, an exhilarating boat ride through the spray, and a cultural city tour of Puerto Iguazú. This 10-hour experience captures both the raw power of one of the world's largest waterfall systems and authentic local culture.

Have a guide and vehicle to take you to visit Iguazú waterfalls in the Argentina side, boat tour and a city tour passing by the main sights of Puerto Iguazú.

Argentina brags rights over almost two-thirds of the falls. So spend some hours exploring the trails and views of the falls and have the opportunity to walk on water crossing the footbridges over the Iguaçu River.

Go on a boat journey of thundering thrills that will put you right in touch with the sheer force of nature and have your heart thudding with excitement just from taking a seat on one of the large boats.

Be taken on a guided city tour in the city of Puerto Iguazú to visit sights such as the Triple Frontier landmark, La Feirinha and the La Aripuca. La Aripuca is an attraction with educational and cultural objectives, which aims to strengthen the relationship between man & nature.

La Feirinha is where you will get to taste typical Argentine products like empanadas, dulce de leche, salamis, cheese, wines, stuffed olives.

Insider tips

★Wear quick-dry clothes and secure your phone/camera—the boat ride gets soaked; waterproof cases are essential
★Visit the falls in the morning when light is best for photography and crowds are lighter
★The Argentina side offers more vantage points and longer trail time than the Brazilian side—ideal for immersive exploration
★Ask your guide about seasonal water levels; higher volumes (December–March) create more dramatic spray but rougher boat conditions

our captain Mehmet really knew their stuff and a hidden cove we anchored in to swim was the highlight. On a rainy sunday so it wasnt too busy. Did it on our first morning, and mid-week so it was quiet. Would book again no question.
