Amazing falls experience
This was a great experience. Our guide Christian was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We liked him a lot. I wish we had dressed differently for the boat ride and known that we could have changed our clothes. You get completely soaked from tip to toe. But it was worth it. The falls are amazing. If you are an American and plan to go to the Brazil side, get a visa!! We missed out on that.

Iguazu Falls Tour
Our tour guide Mario was very efficient and proficient in English and Spanish. The tour was mostly Spanish-speaking clientele and thus the English translation seem to be much shorter. Transportation went smoothly. We did not receive any instructions specific to paying for the park entrance. We did not think this would be a problem but we delayed the group because we have not purchased these Park entry fees in advance. Mario our tour guide tried to go online himself but he was unsuccessful in navigating the website. I doubt that we would’ve been successful as we are English speaking only if we had tried to do this in advance. An email with a link to buy these tickets would’ve been most helpful. For this tour make sure you bring a change of clothes. A rain poncho is a waste of time because the temperatures are very hot and you would overheat. We were provided a sizeable dry bag, it would be helpful to bring flip-flops to transition back to your tennis shoes. I was very cautious about mosquito bites, I did not get any of those. But beware the areas that have trash cans that attract bees.

Iguazu Falls from Argentina
An amazing experience seeing the falls on the opposite side. Definitely a must see!! Our guide, Agusto, was extremely helpful. We would have been lost without him. All in all,it was an incredible trip!!

Disappointing!
Guide was inexperienced, spoke poor English, had a very limited vocabulary and gave little information about Iguazu Falls. When we asked questions of her, she gave minimal responses. Since this was a once in a lifetime visit, we were disappointed with our excursion.
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for your comment. We are sorry this tour did not meet your expectations to the fullest. We will try and improve this tour experience in the future. Best regards

Go for it
Whole trip was a joy. Absolutely must to see the falls. I wasn’t sure about doing the boat ride but we were so glad we did. You really get a sense of the power of the water especially on the rib. Not a sedate ride an absolute thrill. You also get a great and completely different view of them. Go for it.

Private Iguazu Falls Argentinean Side Tour with Boat Option: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Iguazu.
How much does Private Iguazu Falls Argentinean Side Tour with Boat Option cost?
+
Prices start at $78 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 Private Iguazu Falls Argentinean Side Tour with Boat Option 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 Private Iguazu Falls Argentinean Side Tour with Boat Option worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Puerto Iguazu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Iguazu Falls Argentinean Side Tour with Boat Option?
+
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 Private Iguazu Falls Argentinean Side Tour with Boat Option 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 Private Iguazu Falls Argentinean Side Tour with Boat Option?
+
Around 10 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 Private Iguazu Falls Argentinean Side Tour with Boat Option 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.
