“On our second day in Buenos Aires we took the Tigre delta safari with Fernando--what a great guy! Fernando was very informative about the local area, culture, and sites. Fernando was very experienced and really made this tour a delight. We had a lot of fun exploring the delate and walking through the water. I want to come back and buy a home on the river!!”

“BEST TOUR!!! Our captain and guide were the most wonderful father son duo who expertly cruised us around Rio de la Plata and more. They pointed out different animal and plant species and took us to lunch off the beaten path at a fantastic family run local restaurant where we had incredible empanadas, and even had an impromptu tango lesson! A truly beautiful day, spent with wonderful people. A MUST DO when visiting Buenos Aires! 10/10”

Explore Tigre’s Delta by private boat, spotting wildlife, meeting island communities, and reaching the Río de la Plata with local guides.
“This was honestly one of the best days on water that we've ever had. It was a private, small boat tour of Tigre, with a very knowledgeable guide and boat captain, who both live locally. We explored the incredible canals and streams of Tigre, went out to the Rio de la Plata, and on the way stopped to in a wilder area to try and see a capybara.
