This is Buenos Aires' most adventurous day out — and it takes you well beyond the city limits. You'll combine two of the best ways to explore Argentina: cycling through elegant northern suburbs and kayaking deep into the Paraná Delta, one of the world's only river deltas without tides. The day ends with a traditional Argentine asado on a hidden island, surrounded by nature. We start at Casa Castagnino in San Telmo and ride north through the city. Along the way, you choose: pedal the full distance or load the bikes onto a scenic train for part of the journey. Either way, you'll arrive at the Delta feeling like you've left the city far behind. This is a private tour, fully adapted to your group. Your guide speaks English or Spanish, and Portuguese subject to availability. For those who'd like to pedal a little less and soak in a little more, eBikes are available at an extra charge — subject to availability, please request at time of booking.

Cycling is absolutely the best way to see the city
We did 3 tours with this company. This one to Tigre was the highlight. Raymond is a fantastic guide. He made sure to keep us safe and he provided us with informative and entertaining anecdotes. We would highly recommend Raymond as a guide.

Fantastic Experience
This was an absolutely fantastic experience. Our guide, Jackson, was an incredibly caring and genuinely engaged host. In addition to being a great bike and kayak guide, Jackson tailored our entire experience to our interests and language (American English) preferences, shared valuable insights about local customs and culture, and answered our many, many questions very thoughtfully. We had an amazing day. If you are looking for a delightful, active day trip focused on seeing the outskirts of Buenos Aires and experiencing the Tigre delta region, you must book this tour — and be sure to ask for Jackson as your guide, you won’t regret it!

From “Dodgy” Jokes to Delta Magic — A Day We’ll Never Forget
We spent 9–5 with Raymond and can say without hesitation: this wasn’t a tour — it was a proper day out with someone who genuinely loves what he does. The ride from Buenos Aires to Tigre could have been just a transfer. Instead, Raymond turned the 32 km stretch into a rolling masterclass in neighbourhoods we would never have discovered on our own — elegant residential pockets, striking architecture, quiet, wealthy enclaves tucked between the city and the delta. The kind of places that don’t show up in the “Top 10” lists but absolutely should. Raymond himself? Endearing, sharp, and very funny. By mid-morning we had our own running jokes (“that’s what she said” may have made multiple appearances), and he gamely leaned into Kiwi slang — tossing around “dodgy” and “cheeky” like a pro. The banter made the whole day feel effortless. Tigre was the perfect contrast to the city. We kayaked through the delta for about an hour, which felt peaceful and almost surreal — quiet water, leafy channels, and the rhythm of boat taxis moving through the area. We met a lovely local family who run those boats (and yes, we absolutely made friends with their adorable dog). It felt authentic and unpolished in the best possible way. Lunch was an asado experience that delivered everything you hope Argentina will deliver — relaxed, abundant, delicious. No rushing, no conveyor belt vibe. Just great food and time to enjoy it - we got lost in conversation. Raymond’s layers are what make him special. A former hairdresser of 25 years who moved to Buenos Aires to pursue acting — and has two films with Harvey Keitel under his belt — he brings storytelling, timing, and personality to the day. He’s proud of his path, and he should be. It shows in how he connects with people. He also sent us to an excellent gelato spot at the end — the kind of recommendation that only comes from someone who truly knows the area. We covered a lot of ground, but it never felt rushed. It felt curated. Personal. Thoughtful. If you’re looking for someone who goes beyond surface-level sightseeing and gives you a day full of insight, humour, and genuine connection — Raymond is your guy. Cheeky, charming, and absolutely not dodgy. Highly recommend.

Cycling to Tigre with outstanding guide Raymond!
Our cycling adventure started early as we’re leaving BA later today. Raymond was very generous and accommodating our request to leave early to ensure we won’t miss our flight back home. Raymond is very knowledgeable and has a lot of quirky stories which bring this wonderful city alive to visitors. Choosing cycling to explore this amazing city is just perfect! Would highly recommended Biking Buenos Aires and in particular Raymond. Raymond made sure our bikes were in order and we’ve had ample time to cycle all the way to Tigre where we had a very chilled time enjoying in a scrumptious Asado. We’ve had a perfect day to our end of this amazing holiday- thank you Raymond- hopefully see ya down under ☺️🫶🥝

Fantastic way to spend a day!
Spent the day with Jackson - our awesome tour guide - and rode from Buenos Aires to Tigre (about 42 km). Fantastic way to see some of BA that you wouldn’t otherwise get to and also explore the surrounding area. Had a lovely lunch in Tigre followed by 3 kms of kayaking. Super fantastic day - highly recommend!

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
BA to Tigre: Private Bike, Kayak & Argentine BBQ Full-Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Buenos Aires.
How much does BA to Tigre: Private Bike, Kayak & Argentine BBQ Full-Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $190 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Buenos Aires usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does BA to Tigre: Private Bike, Kayak & Argentine BBQ Full-Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Buenos Aires is not rushed.
Is BA to Tigre: Private Bike, Kayak & Argentine BBQ Full-Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Buenos Aires, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule BA to Tigre: Private Bike, Kayak & Argentine BBQ Full-Day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is BA to Tigre: Private Bike, Kayak & Argentine BBQ Full-Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book BA to Tigre: Private Bike, Kayak & Argentine BBQ Full-Day Tour?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Buenos Aires can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Buenos Aires and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does BA to Tigre: Private Bike, Kayak & Argentine BBQ Full-Day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Buenos Aires within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Buenos Aires?
+
On Outty we rank every Buenos Aires experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Argentine Cooking, Wine & Beef Tasting at Argentine Experience, Historical Sherpa Food Tour of San Telmo with Street Food, Drinks, Cooking Class with Empanadas Steak & Flan by Argentine Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Buenos Aires?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Buenos Aires?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
