“The boat was on time. It was nice that the deck had enough space for all the passengers and provided good views. Unfortunately it wasn't a very scenic boat trip - this trip is basically going past hundreds of houses that look like they're about to flood and Tigre is an ugly, brown river. In terms of logistics everything was fine, but I don't think it's a great tourist attraction :).”

“It was an amazing day, for sure a highlight during our time in Patagonia. Transport was reliable, guides did tell us a lot about the glaciers and parks and we really appreciated also the extra stop in Puesto las vacas and get to know more about the ecosystem of the national park. Just two things for improvement: Would have been nice to know upfront that we are not allowed to get real close to Upsala glacier. And we only found the option to book transport incl. the lunch box option. We would have appreciated the option with transport and without lunch. But the lunch box was delicios! All in all…”

“The lady guide was non -professional. She could have told me in the very beginning that I am not part of her private tour. That's why it was surprising to me when found out that I won't be allowed to enter the van and visit the town! It's been frustrating anyway cause others looked at me as I were an alien ! Anyway, you could have told me before the trip begins ! On the other hand, the Naval crew was awesome!”

“Our day out at Iguazu Falls on the Argentina was such an AMAZING experience. I didn’t quite appreciate what I was going to see but it’s truly was an incredible day. Our private tour guide Marcos, was phenomenal. He sorted all the process of going through the borders (we stayed in Foz Do Iguaçu) and took us to the park. He arranged our boat ride and even rearranged it to ensure we beat the incoming bad weather. He took us to all parts of the park and he honestly made the experience that much better. I cannot thank Marcos enough! I would recommend this for sure, 10/10. It seems pricey…”

“Lasts about 25 minutes in the boat, well worth it. They don't mess around out here, they crack on with it. If this was in America you would be signing waivers and listening to safety speeches for a year before maybe touching a bit of the spray. Good value, good fun, do it.”

“The boat ride and falls were amazing. The tour guide was ok. It was more wondering by ourselves. Next time is better to buy the tickets separately and doing it on your own. Total would have been 90 dollars. We got picked up 45 mins late and was very hard to get in touch with someone to see what was going on”
