How long is the boat ride, and can I choose the duration?

You can select between a 1-hour cruise focused on the Delta itself or a 2-hour route covering the northern waterways and narrower channels. A semi-private option on a smaller vessel is also available for more exclusive experiences.

Is this tour suitable for families with young children?

Yes. The relaxed pace, scenic boat ride, and riverside walk appeal to families. Confirm boat safety railings and seating comfort with the operator when booking, especially for very young children.

What should I expect to see in the Tigre Delta?

Expect narrow waterways winding between islands, riverside vegetation, traditional Argentine weekend homes, and local birdlife. The Delta is a natural wetland sanctuary, so wildlife viewing is possible but not guaranteed.

Is the empanada snack included, and are dietary options available?

The empanada tasting is optional. Inform your tour operator in advance if you have vegetarian, vegan, or other dietary needs to arrange alternatives.

How far is Tigre from Buenos Aires, and how much travel time is included?

Tigre is approximately 30 km north of central Buenos Aires. Travel time (both directions) is included in the 5.5-hour total duration. Expect roughly 45 minutes to 1 hour each way depending on traffic.

What's the difference between the standard and semi-private options?

The semi-private option uses a smaller vessel with fewer passengers, offering more comfort, personalised service, and better opportunities for photography and quieter exploration compared to the standard group boat.

About this activity

Escape Buenos Aires' urban core on a half-day expedition into the Tigre Delta, a labyrinth of waterways and islands just outside the city. This tour combines a scenic boat cruise through narrow channels with a leisurely riverside walk, offering a refreshing natural contrast to the capital's pace.

This tour is especially recommended for nature lovers seeking a unique and refined experience just outside the city. Its distinctive character lies in the quality of its services and its flexible navigation options.

The Tigre Delta Tour includes a scenic cruise through the waterways of the Tigre Delta aboard a Premium boat.

Choose between a 2-hour navigation covering the north of Buenos Aires and the Delta’s narrow channels and islands; a 1-hour cruise focused on the Delta; or our Premium Semi-Private option, offering a smaller vessel with limited passengers for a more intimate and comfortable experience.

Upon arrival in Tigre, enjoy an optional empanadas snack before strolling along Victorica Avenue, bordering the Luján River, and admiring the gardens near the Tigre Art Museum.

our guide Nadia was nice enough, but a little local spot off the usual route felt a bit rushed honestly, and expected more, our Seville tour was better value.

our guide Nadia really knew their stuff and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight. For our anniversary so it wasnt too busy. First thing in the morning, and ran the full 4 hours promised. Would book again no question.
