2.Iguazú Falls Boat Ride Argentina

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 274 reviews · 9 hours · from $192

Travel from Foz do Iguaçu to Argentina with a bilingual or trilingual guide such as Fabio, Claudio, or Jair. Walk the Devil’s Throat and Upper Circuit, then take the Great Adventure boat into the spray of the falls. Expect about 7 kilometers of walking, border formalities, and a very wet finish.

“The organization of this trip was great, everything went smoothly which made our experience wonderful. Fabio was an exceptional guide, explained everything very well and exceeded our expectations. Whenever possible, he always tried to avoid the crowds, which we really appreciated. We did everything stated in this tour’s itinerary. And on our way back, we decided spontaneously we wanted to go to the Parque de Aves and he was very kind to drop us off there instead of our hotel. He even accompanied us to buy the tickets to make sure everything was fine and explained us where we should wait for the Uber or where we could take taxis…”

So the walking trails are not much interesting right now, but the speedboat experience was unbelievable, we were 4 times driven through the waterfalls!”

“Notre guide qui est venus nous chercher à notre hôtel était adorable ! La balade en bateau était très jolie c’était super sympas par contre le temps de navigation est de même pas 2h alors qu’il y a marqué 3h30 sur l’annonce et le buffet au vue du prix n’était pas à la hauteur de nos attentes. De plus ils mettent couché du soleil et nous sommes rentrés bien avant le coucher du soleil. Vraiment très déçus sur ces points. Le concept est quand même tres sympas mais trop cher au vue de la prestation. La photo est la dernière que j’ai prise avant de quitter le navire! Qui témoigne…”
