Itinerary
During the navigation, travelers will explore the unique waterways of the Tigre Delta, a vast network of rivers and narrow channels surrounded by lush subtropical vegetation. As the boat glides through the calm waters, guests will see traditional stilt houses, elegant weekend residences, historic rowing clubs, floating supermarkets, and river taxis — all part of daily island life. The guide explains how locals commute, attend school, and adapt to living in this remarkable river ecosystem. Along the way, enjoy peaceful scenery, fresh air, and excellent photo opportunities while discovering the history, culture, and natural beauty that make the Delta one of Argentina’s most distinctive landscapes.
Enjoy a snack at Vivanco restaurant trying some hand-made empanadas. Be welcome to a sensory, friendly, fresh and natural environment located within one of the emblematic rowing clubs of the city of Tigre.
The Puerto de frutos is a small pier located on the banks of the Luján River in the town of Tigre, next to which the fruit market is located. Its name comes from the mid-twentieth century where the fruit production of the Paraná Delta used to disembark in that area, and was then marketed in the city of Buenos Aires
Victorica Avenue is the coastal walk that borders the Luján River to reach the elegant gardens that surround the headquarters of the Tigre Deliberative Council and the Tigre Art Museum
In 1909, a society was formed with the purpose of founding a club that would bring together the inhabitants of the place and would be a space for the practice of sports and recreation, including at the same time a casino in the European style

We were picked up by Pablo and he was a wealth of information touring the area on our way to our boat journey! We arrived at the marina to meet our Captain lovely Clara. Pablo came along with all his knowledge! We cruised through the canals and stopped at a secluded area to have a wonderfully prepared lunch, drink and dessert. Then continued our ride and back to our hotel.
This was a great boat trip, with fascinating insights into the communities that live on the islands around the Tigre delta. Hernan Serpa, our guide, collected us from our hotel and made the trip special, providing us with a lot of history and funny stories about life in and around Buenos Aires. The empanadas in Tigre were also a great early lunch after the boat trip. Highly recommended!
I took the tour with Micaela; she did not miss a single detail to explain, extremely cordial. Super punctual. 10/10
Everything was Perfect and on Time. Thanks to Emilia.
The tour guide Debora was amazing
I loved the tour, Veronica the guide was very nice and David the driver. He gave us good information about the place and interesting facts about it. And the service was very punctual.
Great tour, Sofia was a wonderful guide. We loved taking the boat through the river delta and visiting Tigre.
We had a fantastic time on our tour of the Tigre Delta! Our guide, Debora, was absolutely wonderful—she was so knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information about the history and culture of the city of Tigre. The boat ride itself was incredibly enjoyable and relaxing. Overall, it was a very leisurely, stress-free tour that allowed us to just sit back and take in the beautiful scenery. I would highly recommend this experience (and Debora!) to anyone looking to explore the area.
We had an excellent tour; Debora was a great guide, providing us with all kinds of information and resolving all our doubts. David was a very good driver, highly recommended.
This was a lovely, relaxing way to escape the big city, see the countryside, and explore a world where people live on islands without roads, serviced only by water taxis. And Pablo, our guide and driver was very knowledgeable and personable.
