• Optional boat tour of the Falls

The experience

You get a private car and a guide for the day, which means the itinerary bends to your schedule rather than the other way around. The tour crosses both sides of the falls (the Brazilian viewpoint and the Argentine trails), so you see the full span of the water and the landscape from different angles. Your guide speaks English, Spanish or Portuguese, and the vehicle is air-conditioned, which matters when you're moving between the two countries and spending hours on your feet at the overlooks.

The operator builds flexibility into the day: you choose when and where to stop for lunch, and you decide how long to linger at each vantage point. If the boat ride appeals to you (a closer look at the falls from the water), you can add it for USD 95 per person at the end of the tour. Hotel pickup is included, so you don't arrange transport to the starting point.

Is this one for you?If you're staying in Argentina without a rental car, hotel pickup means you don't arrange separate transport to the falls. The private format also lets you spend as much time as you want at each viewpoint rather than keeping pace with a larger group.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (under 9): free.

What's the difference between the Brazilian and Argentine sides of Iguazu Falls?

The Brazilian side offers a panoramic view of the entire falls from across the canyon, while the Argentine side puts you on trails and boardwalks that run along the edge and bring you closer to individual cascades. Both are part of this tour, so you get the wide perspective and the intimate one.

How long does this tour actually take?

The tour runs between 7 and 12 hours depending on how long you spend at each stop and where you choose to have lunch. Since it's private, you control the pace rather than following a fixed group schedule.

Is the boat ride included, or do I pay extra?

The boat ride is optional and costs USD 95 per person if you want to add it. It's not part of the base tour price, so you decide whether to include it when you book or on the day itself.

Does the tour include lunch?

Lunch is not included in the tour price, but you choose when and where to stop to eat, and your guide can recommend restaurants near the falls.
