Great day exploring Iguazu!
My friend and I had the absolute best tour with our guide, Junior! The day was tailored to what we wanted to do, and crossing borders and getting into each side of the park was seamless. There is also an option to stop for lunch if desired. We would recommend this tour and Junior as a guide to anyone!

Don't miss out on this tour!
I visited the falls on a cool rainy day and the crowds were not bad at all. I was told the night before to purchase a ticket to enter the park in Argentina for the day (about $30 per person). The day starts early at 7:50 am ( I was staying on the Argentina side) were the tour began. We walked the trails and took a train to view the falls from that side. We then got back in the bus and drove to the Brazilian side which was a very different view! Again I purchased a entry ticket to get in the park at a kiosk (about $20 per person) then I chose the boat tour ($80 per person) which took about an hour while the rest of the group went on without me. The boat tour was such a rush, but make sure you bring a really good poncho because you will get soaked!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed visiting both the Argentine and Brazilian sides of the falls and that the optional boat tour was such a memorable experience. We appreciate your helpful tips for future travelers and are glad the weather and timing worked out well for your visit. We hope to welcome you back to Iguazu again someday!

Best day trip you could ask for!
Myself and my partner had a private tour with Charles and we thoroughly enjoyed our day. He was the most warm an informative tour guide we've ever had. You do have to pay that admission for both parks which is about £45 per park but I think it was definitely worth it. We got picked up from our hotel and headed straight to the Argentinian side so early we were pretty much the first there so the pictures we got were fantastic, then headed to the Brazilian side whereby my partner and I were able to walk a part of the tour alone, which was nice. I wasn't sure what the full day experience would be like but it was not at all rushed and we even got to go to Parque des Avres after with Charles as per his recommendation - another in which we really enjoyed. I want to thank Charles & Sigafoz for organising the most perfect day and end of our trip in Brazil, we even got dropped at the Iguassu Airport. We will never forget it!
Response from the operator: This is exactly the kind of day we love to create — well planned, smooth from start to finish, and with those special moments along the way that make it unforgettable. Starting early, avoiding crowds, and keeping the day relaxed is all part of how we design the experience at SigaFoz Travel Agency. It means a lot to know everything flowed naturally for you and that Charles made it even more enjoyable. Ending the trip like that is always something special 🐆🌳🌊

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Brazil & Argentina: Iguazu Falls Private Full-Day + Optional Boat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Iguazu.
How much does Brazil & Argentina: Iguazu Falls Private Full-Day + Optional Boat cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Iguazu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Brazil & Argentina: Iguazu Falls Private Full-Day + Optional Boat take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Puerto Iguazu is not rushed.
Is Brazil & Argentina: Iguazu Falls Private Full-Day + Optional Boat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Iguazu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Brazil & Argentina: Iguazu Falls Private Full-Day + Optional Boat?
+
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 Brazil & Argentina: Iguazu Falls Private Full-Day + Optional Boat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Brazil & Argentina: Iguazu Falls Private Full-Day + Optional Boat?
+
Around 7 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 Puerto Iguazu 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 Puerto Iguazu and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Brazil & Argentina: Iguazu Falls Private Full-Day + Optional Boat 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 Puerto Iguazu 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 Puerto Iguazu?
+
On Outty we rank every Puerto Iguazu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small group Falls Both Sides - Argentina and Brazil, Best Private Tour Iguassu Falls Brazil, Argentina in 1 day, Argentine Experience: Immersive Dinner & Wine Pairing in Iguazú. 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 Puerto Iguazu?
+
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 Puerto Iguazu?
+
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.
