Explore the Brazilian side of the breathtaking Iguazu Falls by land and boat on this exhilarating excursion. Snap photos from postcard-perfect viewpoints and listen to intriguing info about the local ecology. This incredible tour offers an unforgettable view formed by the immense group of waterfalls of Foz do Iguaçu. Once inside the park, the van or bus will drive until you reach the trails and walkways that face the falls. We will walk from 40 minutes to 1 hour on the trails and walkways facing the falls on the Brazilian side and with panoramic views of the Argentine side.
The adventure begins at the entrance to the Macuco Safari, located 25 kilometer down Cataratas Highway inside Iguassu National Park. Board open jeep-towed wagons that allow for an unobstructed view of the scenery along the trail. During the stretch of three kilometers through the jungle, multi-lingual guides will point out examples of the flora and fauna of the Park. Orchids, palm trees, bromeliads, centenarian trees, and even wild animals that occasionally cross the trail are pointed out by the guides.
On a stretch of 600 meters, there is a hike on a trail that leads to a waterfall called "Macuco Falls". The waterfall spills down from a height of approximately 20 meters. Access is via a stairway carved into the ancient rock. Make your way down on a short drive on an open-top jeep to reach the last stop, the docks on the Brazilian side of Iguassu River. In the water, inflatable bi-motor boats await us. They´re constructed to withstand the rigors of the excursion, as well as being secure and efficient vessels. Before embarkation, passengers receive life-vests and plastic containers in which to protect photographic and filming equipment. The boat travels up-river passing the canyon facing the rapids at a speed that allows for scenic viewing. Rainbows, blue sky, mist and water in abundance punctuate the spectacle whose high-point is the "The Three Musketeers". Here the captain maneuvers the boat in order to get close enough to provide the passengers with a quick and refreshing shower.
I had a great guide. She was willing to work with me regarding a change of plans. She was very genuine and nice. The boat ride was amazing. We did donuts in the river and then got very close to the falls. You do get Wet. The falls are so powerful and loud. They are magnificent!
This is one of the most stunning things I have experienced! It was rainy the day we went, but it didn't damper our experience! The falls are breath taking! You will do some walking! You get an amazing look at the falls. We could see people on the Argentina side. From what my friend (who is Argentinian) told me, the best views are on the Brazilian side. The boat ride was thrilling! Now you can buy a poncho to try and keep you dry...but that may be an illusion! LOL We got drenched! I did put my passport, wallet and phone in ziplock bag before hand...that was wise! I was really surprised at the amount of wind coming off one of the falls. When walking to the boats, you need to watch your step on the rocks, but it's fairly easy to navigate. I'd love to see the falls on a sunny day sometime! Highly recommend this!
The falls were fantastic. Beyond imagination. I highly recommend it. The boat ride was less than expected. Very short, maybe 20 minutes and didn't get close to the major falls. Not close enough for good pics. We just went up close to a really small water fall, about 3 meters wide, to get wet. Jungle ride was short and not very interesting either.
Totally unorganized, no one spoke two words of English, way over priced, Jungle Drive is a windy little road you take electric bus to, Hike is leas than five minutes to trash the boat duck. If you take just a boat ride for about $60 less, they have to take you the same route, there isn’t e Off-Road or a hike for that matter, don’t waste your money, if you have to take the ten minutes boat ride, just do that only no need to give them extra $60 for nothing absolutely not worth it, tried to reach someone to speak, they don’t answer the phone if and when they do they hang up the minute they hear English speaking, quite a disappointment and waste of time and money
our trip to the falls and the wet boat ride was superb.we also enjoyed the jungle drive.if you are in brazil,then one should make this trip
<p>Before that trip I made another one with a very good guide, so this time I was a little disappointed.<br/> After we had to buy our tickets one by one she only rode the bus with us silently, then gave us a map to show us where to go and left.<br/> Sice we had to ride the big bus when we arrived the place was totally crowed and we had to wait to even begin to walk down the only trail there is.<br/> Later she waited for us to tell us to get in line for the bus that will get us to the offroad and boatride. Once again we sat in the bus and she somewhere else without saying a thing.<br/> Later on she bought our tickets which she gave to us and we went our way.<br/> The truck ride with about 30 people or more on it was nice.<br/> At the boat station we could decide wether we wanted the wet ride or the dry one. <br/> Do the wet one. You get close to the Musketeers, though not really close to the devils throat.</p>
<p>I think the title of this tour is very misleading - the off-road jungle drive is not what you think and is only actually a truck that takes you from the boat landing back up to the entrance, the hike is a very mild 10 - 15 min walk to the boat landing - the waterfall ride was amazing but could be longer and just prepared no matter even if you where a coat you will get soaked.</p>
<p>Holy freakin' smokes. Iguassu Falls is seriously the most epic thing I've ever seen in my life! This boat ride is incredible and takes you right to the action. This was worth the trip to South America all by itself! This tour has great amenities like snacks and drinks and plenty of room to change clothes before and after the boat ride, so you don't have to worry about changing clothes in a little shack. Highly recommended!</p>
<p>Great tour and good way to see the Falls. <br/> Only downfall was the guide mainly spoke Brazilian, with little English. Also was told by the guide we had to pay extra for certain entrance fees which later I found out was already included in the price we had paid. Not happy!!</p>
<p>IGU CITY BUS TOUR AGAIN!! does only Spanish commentary .will not translate in english.extremely disorganised.should have done the tour by myself.would have turned out a lot cheaper</p>
<p>We thought this tour was a lot of fun, and definitely worth the money. I saw a review that said the pancho was a waste of money since you still get soaked, and that's not the case. We were the only ones that didn't buy them and the only ones that were soaked! Really enjoyable trip!</p>
<p>We didn't have the best weather on the day we did this, but given we were completely drenched on the boat ride lots of fun, it didn't really matter much. The view of the Devil's Throat from the Brazilian side of the falls is stunning.</p>
<p>Good tour.... could be a little bit more organized....</p>
<p>I had a great time doing this tour. I only wish one could take their own camera for pictures. But it might get destroyed in the process so it might not be worth it. Awesome time and experience, I loved it!</p>
<p>We had the most amazing experience! Our guide picked us up at the agreed time, and after a few more pick ups, we went into the park. First we had to get out and buy the tickets of the general entrance, then our guide and bus was waiting for us in the other side and took us first to do the macuco safari! Our guide went to buy our entrances, and passed us to another guide, and told us, he would be there to pick us up after we were finished. So first we went on the electric vehicle/bus with a park-guide that explained us the main fauna and flora of the natural park. After a while, we got to hike in the forest for a short bit until we arrived at the boat docks. this part was optional but if you are ok with steps, i advise not to miss it, otherwise the bus will take you directly to the docks. Arriving at the docks, we had to pay more 10reais to rent a locker in order to leave our dry clothes and shoes. After changing, we chose the wet tour! and as some comments explains..u get 100 wet! This was the most incredible experience and lots of fun! And the landscape is so beautiful! Good thing i had a towel and a change of everything in the locker since i ended up soaked. After changing, the bus took us back to where our guide had left us, and from there, he took us to the main part of the park, where you have several platforms, that allows you to see the most incredible views over the falls! After lunch, our guide gave us the option of going back to the hotel, or see the bird park just next to the falls park, and that at 5 we would pick us up and bring us back to the hotel. We went into his advise and saw the bird park! It was amazing! We loved it and only had to pay the entrance. At 5 our guide was at the exit waiting for us and for those of our group who decided to do the same, and took us back to the hotel giving us great advice along the way about restaurantes and other places to see : Incredible experience and great day! Wouldn't change a thing!!</p>
This is definitely a must tour if you are in Foz! The jeep ride was very interesting (we even saw the princess of Japan who was there the same day!) and the boat ride was a lifetime experience. Get ready to get wet from head to toes under the waterfalls. The hike was very nice, it was wonderful to see all the waterfalls from different angles.
This tour is a must if you are in Iguassu. It's great fun to go on the waterfall boat ride, just make sure you take with you extra clothe so you can get change after the boat ride. You'll get super wet but it's super worth.
<p>Highly recommend this full day tour. Full view of the hundreds of amazing waterfalls. The guide was very informative and helpful, with good English. The 100% wet boat tour was a great experience and will not disappoint!</p>
<p>Great experience, wouldn't have missed it. Was a great finish to our visit to Iguassu Falls.</p>
<p>Some versions of this tour say it will only last around 4 to 6 hours. Our experience was we got picked up at our hotel just outside of the park's entrance around 9:30 am and we weren't done until about 4 pm, so try not to schedule anything else for that day. For the morning, they give you plenty of time to walk the entire path to take as many pictures as you want and to brave the Devil's Throat walkway. Even if you have ponchos and jackets on, you will get wet from the mist blowing on you, so make sure your valuables and cameras are safe. There are no lockers until you get to the Macuco Safari area just before the boat ride itself. They took us under the waterfall twice so everyone got totally soaked! We had a change of clothes in our backpack which definitely helped. Be warned that your clothes will stink for days because the waterfall water has particulates and other stuff in it. Make sure you use your hotel's laundry services so that the rest of your belongings don't take on the same odor. Also make sure they will actually drop you off back at your hotel afterwards as is promised in the voucher. Several folks had to make their own way back via taxi and we were told to walk back given that it only took 10 to 15 minutes to do so.</p>
<p>Was very disappointed with this tour. Better to enter the park ourselves, to do the walking trail, and then get on a park bus to the adventure area, to do a boat ride. It's way to expensive for what you get.</p>
<p>This was by far one of the best ideas for our Foz do Iguacu trip. I'm not one to normally book tours as I usually like wandering on my own and generally can find my way cheaper but this was a great decision. Our tour guide Flavia and Natasha were super great, explaining everything, and letting us wander when we needed. We were able to explore the falls both by land and water. The boat tour was amazing. We literally had the falls pouring on us which was an awesome experience. Would recommend this tour to everyone visiting the area.</p>
<p>I think Brazil has amazing views of the Iguassu Falls. We have a great experience and excellent views. The boat... you never imagine how is going to be this trip!!</p>
<p>Although our tour guide was very nice and spoke good English, our tour was combined with a Portuguese couple, so her time was split talking, and since she was a native Brazilian she tended to speak more to the Portuguese couple. </p> <p>As for the tour, the tour guide didn't tell you much about the falls, they pretty much just tell you where to go and wait for you at the end of every destination. Also, the price for the tour didn't involve tickets into the park or lunch... But it did for the boat ride. I believe it would've been cheaper to just hire a taxi, buy tickets and go. The tour guide didn't add much, they just facilitate a schedule and provide transportation, and try to upsell you on other options.</p>
<p>This tour is a must! The guide picked us up right on time! It was well organized and the off-road jungle drive, plus the hike and the waterfall boat ride made Iguassu Falls an experience that we would never forget. Seeing the falls from a distance is nice but going under the falls is absolutely amazing! Prepare to get wet and don't forget to bring clothes and flipflops to change after the boat ride! It's well worth it!</p>
<p>I had a blast on this tour, soooooo much fun it was! Nothing like being on the headed to the falls to get splashed! Iguassu is a special place and this tour is so worth it!</p>
<p>Wow!! The Boat Ride going under the waterfall is a lifetime experience you will never forget!! Highly recommend it.</p>
<p>The main reason to book it is to make sure you get on a boat ride</p>
<p>Biggest disappointment ever. Totally overpriced nearly triple the price! and no real need for this so-called tour since the attractions are can be enjoyed just as well without a guided visit. My itinerary had been booked with a SURCHARGE for pick-up on the Argentinean side of Iguazu. After having received confirmation via e-mail, the voucher stated I needed to contact the tour operatior directly in BRAZIL myself to organise pick-up whereupon I was informed that the pick-up from the Hotel Sheraton on the Argentinean side was not included in the Viator ticket price. Return transfer from Argentinean to Brazilan side would be 120 US dollars extra! To their defence and after personal phone calls to Iguassu, Rio and the US we received a private guided tour without extra charge who was charming. The Macuco safari boat ride is a real thrill and worth doing if you don't mind getting soaked. Lockers are available 5 BRL on site to keep your belongs dry and safe.</p>
<p>We bought the combo tour that claims to include a jungle drive, hidden trail hike to a smaller waterfall, and boat ride to the iguazu falls. We received 2/3; got robbed of our hidden trail hike. Kept asking the tour guide when the hike was going to happen but she was useless. Not worth the money.</p>
<p>I really enjoyed this tour. Upon confirmation, Gerardo asked me if i am ready to get wet. I told him maybe. So i brought with me my raincoat, yet i also wore swim clothes. I am thinking twice on bringing my DSLR with me during the tour, good thing i didn't since we really were literally wet from head to toe. The water was cold yet we were blessed with a sunny morning in which they told us that it's unusual during those period to have the sun. it was a fun experience!<br/> After the safari tour, Gerardo fetched me up at the gate and told me they will have lunch and if i wanted to join or if i would like to take some photos along the waterfalls while they are having lunch, and i opted the latter! i have ample time to go to the bridge and take some very good photos of the waterfalls.<br/> Highly recommended!</p>
<p>Trip was great the Falls are amazing the boat trip was a blast. The off-road jungle drive was so so, mostly because we didn't see much but trees. Be prepared to be drenched on the boat ride. There is NO getting around it. Some were smart and brought flip flops and an extra change of clothes in their backpacks. I'd recommend it. I'd also recommend bringing a poncho. The Falls hike was amazing - self guided, which I didn't expect, but it was ok. The park is pristine, and the facilities at the end of the tour were clean and worthy of a stop.</p>
<p>Unforgettable, thrilling, the best! The only detail that was not made clear at the embarcadero was that we should leave our shoes in the lockers before getting on the boat, but after a little hairdryer play that afternoon the shoes sneakers were fine.<br/> I would recommend this combo tour to anyone who wants to get the full experience of the Cataratas.</p>
<p>Unforgettable experience for me. Since a TV crew did shooting, interview and introduction of the Falls in my boat, my boat ride lasted for almost 1.5 hrs, normally 20-30 mins. It's incredible. I also highlight my tour guide, Ivete. She took care of me privately as I'm the only Eng-speaking tourist.</p>
<p>Everything was great. The only thing that could improve is the amount of time we were given at the falls before we had to take the bus back.<br/> Other than that, it was a great experience. thanks!</p>
<p>it was a great experiance..breathtaking views.higly recommended</p>
<p>Great tour guide and we saw/did everything in 1 day. Just a heads up the park admission is not included in the price so you would have to pay a extra R$50. We had some time before heading back to our hostel and a few people wanted to see the bird park so we went for a extra R$45. All in all it was a great experience!</p>
<p>Hello!<br/> Unfortunately I can't rate the tour since no guide showed up and I've sent and email and called Viator with no response although my credit card was charged full amount for two. I really didn't expect this sort of service from a company like Viator.</p>
<p>We had an unforgettable moment thanks to Roberta and Gerardo our 2 guides. <br/> Really worth it. The experience of the boat is AMAZING and also the Jungle Drive is nice. We spend the whole day and finished visiting the Bird Zoo (not included in the price). Gerardo came with us and make us like a private tour. <br/> Pick up on time. Really worth it: DON' T MISS IT</p>
<p>The boat ride gets very close to the falls for a very drenched ride. Get a raincoat. <br/> Jungle drive was amazing along a one-way drive to the boat ride. <br/> Everything was so great even with the trail walk to see the falls. Amazing!<br/> The only thing is guides speak little English but doesn't affect the fun</p>
<p>Boat ride was fun but it is truly only about taking you directly into the water and getting you soaked. The off-road jungle drive is a short drive through a wooded area with very little to see, the hike is a very short optional walk with little to see. It was a bit disappointing as we expected much more from the jungle drive and hike.</p>
<p>What a fantastic experience. This is a must do if visiting the Iguazu Falls</p>
<p>good tour not as adventurous as i thought it was going to be but sure was a wet ride.</p>
<p>Execellent, totally recommend it to anyone but be prepared with clothes etc!</p>
Experience the hour vei! The whole tour was very special, we started on a trail that we walked for a while and our, had many waterfalls for us to be admired and some top places to take photos. Also after having known the waterfalls by visa we had the opportunity to meet them by boat. Our boat pilot said we were going to take a bath, spoiler, he put us right under the waterfall to be wet kkk. After all, it was a very differentiated experience and I recommend it to anyone who likes waterfalls!
The boat ride, reaching the waterfall, is an incredible, beautiful experience, I enjoyed them very much, and I really enjoyed seeing the happiness of my daughter throughout the ride. Beautiful
There is much to do around the falls. Absolute must is the helicopter flight from the Brazilian side (costs 115 dollars). On the argentine side, it is smart to get there early and be the first to ride the train to the end point and visit the "devil's hole" before the throngs of tourists arrive. Then you go against the current at ease via the falls to the second must-do: sailing into the waterfall by boat. Of course, put all your stuff in a waterproof barrel and only keep your swimming trunks on. Then you sail a bit over the river between the falls and then you get on a truch for a jungle ride. The boat ride you have to do, the other parts are not spectacular.
When visiting the Iguaçu PR Falls, do not miss the Macuco Safari tour. It is a safe and exciting boat ride. For those who like adventure better do this walk "wet", that is, the one that the boat passes under one of the waterfalls. It's a pretty expensive attraction but it was worth it. Don't forget to take a change of clothes for the wet walk.
Traveling the trails, and watching the falls, a pleasant experience, recommended for those who visit are one of the 7 wonders of nature, then traveling the river, in the boat and feeling the fall of its waters in the faces of each one, is a unique feeling, and fabulous experience.
The tour is an experience both on foot and by boat, because the waterfalls are a wonder of nature and you should definitely visit the Argentine side in addition to the Brazilian side. The Argentine Tour wins in terms of price-performance ratio. The price of the tour on the Brazilian side seems slightly inflated.
