It was a great experience to visit the falls - really enjoyed the boat ride. You will get soaked! Unfortunately we didn’t get to see Garganta del Diablo as it was closed, and as such we didn’t get the train ride. Jungle truck was fun and guides were good. We had a mixed group of English and Spanish speakers - would have preferred if it was just English speaking. Guide was not the greatest - slow paced and more attentive to Spanish speakers. Park entrance was not included and cost more than the $45.00 listed. Overall quite an expensive and long day.

Itinerary
The guide will pick you up early morning from your accommodation.
Once you board the bus (group option) or the mini-van (small-group option), you will head to the Argentinian side of the National Park.
Inside the park the real experience will start! You will leave the bus to start traveling through the nature. You will board a train from the Visitors Center that goes to our first stop, the “Garganta del Diablo” station, where a 1000 mts path leads you to the biggest fall of the waterfall system. You only have to follow the sound of the water!
Once you are back, you will take the train to the “Cataratas” Station in order to start the Upper Path, a 800 mts walk that will take you to the rest of the most important falls of the park, such us “Tres Hermanas and Bosetti”. After this walk, you will have time to have lunch at one of the restaurants located inside the park (not included). Once lunch is over, the group will continue to take the Jungle-Truck and the boat ride.
During the Boat Ride, we will take an amazing ride and get even closer to the waterfalls, you won't forget the views of the falls from the Iguazu river. Navigation in the semi-rigid (zodiacs) that approach the feet of the San Martín, Bosetti, Tres Mosqueteros and Garganta del Diablo falls and navigation downstream through the river rapids, arriving at Puerto Macuco (3 kilometers from the Falls). Don't forget to bring extra clothes and a towel! You will definitely have a shower during the boat ride.
After the boat ride, we will continue our tour with Movi-Trucks. You will have an 8 kilometers tour inside the jungle, where an experimented guide will teach you about the flora and fauna and the amazing nature events that happen inside the rain forest.
The visitor always satisfied, is the goal, with the joy to the top, accompanied by the best guides knowledgeable of secrets, legends and anecdotes that will make more complete the visit to this heritage of the humanity and one of the 7 wonders of the world. Once the group is all together again, head back to your hotel.

They delivered ! Everything went as planned. I enjoyed the day very much and our guide, Horacio was so good !!
The waterproof bags aren't and your made to wear foot wear . Tour guide was great but it's nothing like the premote or show in there pictures . Life jackets are from the 80 s
You will get very wet on the boat, especially if you sit on the upper deck😂 the views are amazing, true wonder of creation
It was a wonderful tour of the falls. He only part of the park we did not visit was the lower circuit below the Falls, which has great views. This guide was so knowledgeable and just fun!
There is a lot of walking. Absolutely beautiful but it was hot and humid. The train is cute but very crowded and the seats are terrible. You definitely get wet at Devils Throat. Be sure to bring sunscreen It was an incredible experience.
Carlos is a highly experienced tour guide, this being his 36th year of guiding. We loved the Argentine side of the falls, having already been to the Brazilian side and a helicopter ride over the falls. But the highlight for us was being right at the Devils Throat! Wow. Then the Grand Adventure- the boat ride was AMAZING and EXHILARATING. SO MUCH FUN!! And I am 65!
You will get wet. A change of clothes needed. Boat ride great fun. Waterfalls spectacular. Train ride and truck ride very enjoyable. Lasting memories of a beautiful place.
We really knew nothing about the Iguazú Falls except that we needed to see them while in Argentina. We are so glad we made a special trip overnight trip from Buenos Aires to the park. Pajora was a terrific guide, fun, knowledgeable, and patient. Make no mistake, at this time of the year, the park is crowded but Pajora kept us all together while allowing some free time as well. Plan on a lot of walking - I think we walked about 5 miles during the trip which included walking DOWN to the boat launch and back UP to the meeting spot. We’re in our mid-60s and in fairly good shape, and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. You will get soaking wet on the boat ride although any valuables like bags and watches and shoes can be stowed in a dry bag. The falls are spectacular as one of our fellow passenger on the boat trip reminded in Spanish over and over again (LOL).
Pájaro is a fantastic guide! Knowledgable, personable, and fluent in Spanish and English, Pájaro made this experience beyond spectacular. Multiple level views of the waterfalls gave us special perspectives of this sensational place. Tangol is lucky to have him, and we were extremely lucky to find him. Thank you!!!!!
It was an awesome excursion, the boats ride was truly an Amazing Experience! I enjoyed that they let us take pictures before we went under the Falls!! Told us everything we needed beforehand and prepared us when we were on the boat!
This is the can’t miss activity for any trip to Argentina. One amazing sight after another. Pictures can’t do it justice.
This was an amazing and breathtaking experience, not to be missed if you’re at all interested in seeing the falls. Miguel (Mikey!) was great and provided the best experience we could have hoped for, everything went like clockwork! I would not hesitate to recommend him (and this tour group!) to anyone planning a trip to Iguazu and the falls!!
You will get wet! But it was part of the experience! AWESOME time. The National Park overall is very busy, crowded.
It was a fantastic journey in the Iguazu Park. Our tour guide Orasio did an excellent job to keep the group together (20 persons) along the different area to visit. The boat tour to the falls was unbelievable. We had a great time and would highly recommend this tour. Thank you for this terrefic experience.
This was a wonderful tour! Pájaro was a fantastic tour guide! Not only are the falls spectacular with lots of different views but the boat ride was thrilling! But BEWARE!! This excursion does NOT include entrance into the Iguazu National Park!!! Buy your tickets ahead of time online!
Had a great and memorable experience, would recommend! The boat ride was fun, we enjoyed going under the falls
Well worth the trip! The falls are simply amazing and you must do the boat tour! Some travelers on our bus opted not to go, but that was the most exciting part. Our guide was fluent in English and was tremendously informative and helpful throughout the day.
Pajaro was the BEST tour guide ever! Thank you so much for giving us an awesome tour of Iguazu Falls! He gave the best tips and got us in and out of everything so fast and on time! Highly recommend!
Falls are very impressive. We had a large group so sometimes we moved fast and sometimes we moved slow
Overall a great experience. The falls are world famous so nothing to add to other reviews. Our guide Ricardo was superb. He spoke excellent Spanish and English to our group and was always a step or two ahead of the tour activities. He got us in early so only one large tour group was ahead of us at Devil’s Throat trail but that was mitigated by taking our time getting on the trail. We also did the middle trail to see the majority of other falls. A quick snack before joining the jungle truck/ falls boat ride. The jungle truck, at its core, is a ride to get you from the falls complex to the boat launch. The bi-lingual truck company guide was good and informative, just don’t expect to see much wildlife on the ride (just one lizard seen between the two trips). The falls boat ride was a blast! They lend you a life vest and a large dry bag for your stuff which you keep with you the whole time. You will get very wet on this trip but we were nearly dry by the time we got back to the falls complex via return truck ride. Recommend taking this full tour. Truck was a little underwhelming but the Falls and boat make up for it big time.
Hotel pick up, purchase the Iguazu Falls National Park enterence ticket (not included ), walk to the Devil's Throat Falls, shuttle train ride, the upper circuit board to the Saint Martin Falls, walk to the lower circuit of the falls. 1 hr lunch around 1PM. Then to the jungle shuttle ride to the boat at 2 PM.
Definitely will recommend this tour. However the package of train, jungle truck and boat ride didn’t include the park entrance fee so had to stand in a line for half an hour to pay an additional $60 for two tickets. That delayed our entrance to begin the adventure. Everyone else in our tour had to wait. Would’ve liked more information about the park.
It was well organized, and Sandra kept good track of our time, so we were able to enjoy everything without rushing. I was a bit worried I would not be physically able for all of the walking but it's level and an absolute marvel that you can get so close to the falls safely. The boat ride was really great, very wet but worth it. The stairs back up from the boat ride were the biggest challenge but I made it and I'm nearly 80!
Absolutely loved this experience! The tour guide adapted the tour to our group's size and the park's busy-ness to avoid large crowds. He also made sure that everyone was following up and no one got left behind, gave the tour in two languages because we had some non-Spanish speakers, and he suggested the best spot to take the family photo. The adventure itself was full of thrills and wonderful views! This is definitely a not-miss in Iguazu and without a doubt would do it again and again!
Sol Iguazu travel agency wea great to work with. Roberto, our tour guide, was fantastic and made the tour a great experience. Highly recommended!!
We had an outstanding guide and the tour was very well organised. The profound disappointment was the overwhelming number of tourists which prevented us from getting anywhere near the Diabolo Falls.. The sheer numbers spoiled the experience to a degree. Recommend that visitors stay in the National Park accommodation and venture out to see this extraordinary place before the influx.
Loved everything about the experience. My friend and I were the only English speakers on the tour & the guides still took time to make sure we understood as well. It was a good day.
Sandra will forever be in my heart. She was incredibly sweet and knowledgeable, and she worked well with my tendency to wander off and return. The tour begins by taking the train to the Devil's Throat. It goes a little earlier but trust me that's a good thing. This spot is crowded, even early, so I can't imagine peak hours. It is misty, a waterproof coat or jacket is recommended. Then we walked the superior trail, which was beautiful and took a break for lunch. Please note, this entire place is wet. Which makes sense, but you don't really realize the extent until you're here. I bring this up because I did see some people slip and fall, wear good shoes and stay by a rail just in case. After lunch the group split up, half of us took a ride on a truck to the boat ride. The "Jungle Ride" is kind of more "this is the path we have to take to get to the boats" than an experience but the boat was amazing. You do take a stairway down to the boat though, a rather long one. Not difficult, but if you have limited mobility keep that in mind. The other half of the group did the inferior trail, which I personally did by myself the following day. I was lucky to be staying at a hotel that was within walking distance to the national park (Gran Melia Hotel) which I recommend. The proximity allowed me to return and do the trail I would've otherwise missed. In my opinion, the inferior trial is more beautiful than the superior, so make the time if you can. The boat ride shows you the same views, but you're absolutely soaked and trying to keep your phone safe. A great experience, it's nice to have a guide who handles all the minor details for you and she gave me advice on when to return, what else to see and so on. If you don't speak Spanish this is especially beneficial because our guide also acted as our translator My one negative is the driver, they didn't communicate with me and arrived nearly 30 minutes earlier than the time I was told to anticipate. He didn't call or text preemptively, he just had the hotel call my room. My hotel was near the middle of the park, the tour started at the entrance so the shuttle was needed.
Better than expected! Having read the reviews prepared us for the tour. Make sure to take your bathing suit and a towel because you’ll get drenched with fresh water from one of the falls! It was breathtaking and exhilarating! Most importantly I felt safe. There will be a lot of stairs but if I could do it, anyone can. I’m 60!
This is a must do! You will get soaked! Poncho may sound good… trust me you will need a new set of clothes. 100% worth it and a great way to end your visit to the park. My opinion is you should visit the Brazilian side first then the Argentina side. Both are equally impressive. The boat ride on the Argentina side is like the cherry on top of 2 fantastic days @ Iguazu Falls. I wish we could stay and do this tour another day! Thanks Dimitri!!
Great experience! Our guide Miguel was helpful and took the time to speak in multiple languages. Had great knowledge and very helpful.
This was an amazing tour and the best experience we had. Seeing the gorgeous Iguazu falls is a must see. Absolutely breathtaking taking and the boat ride was fantastic. Our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour .
This was so much fun and also ialso educational. I was impressed with the nature guides guides that gave us a tour as we rode through the jungle to reach the boat. Everyone associated was very safety oriented. They made sure our life jackets were put on properly and had a very positive attitude about the wildlife and the experience they were providing. Turns out that the Argentine side of the falls do not permit helicopters because of their concern for the birds and the environment. The most important thing I can share is that it was almost impossible to get tickets for the boat ride. Our local national park guide was the only one that could reserve our tickets. Also, make sure you have either a copy of your passport or your driver's license as you need it for their insurance or else you can not ride the boat. They do take credit cards. We also used water proof i-phone holders as well as wrist straps as you need to hold on tight when you are nearing the powerful falls. We purchased the video they shot for $15.00 and have to get in touch with them as we did not get it emailed yet.
Everything was great but the boat ride in particular was amazing. Our tour guide Ricardo was really good. Highly recommend!
Fabulous full day trip. We booked private small group English speaking tour and there was 22 in our group and only us 2 English. The guide was very aware and conscious that he made us felt inclusive and explained everything in English too. Boat ride was incredible.
The speed boat ride into the waterfalls was an excellent exciting experience. The trek around the nature park was quick but gave us good views of the waterfalls as well as the animals birds fauna n butterflies. Overall an enjoyable and memorable tour. Don’t miss it.
Great tour with a fantastic tour guide, Pájaro. He was very knowledgeable about the area and he organized the order of our visits to the attractions within the park to avoid the largest crowds. The boat ride on the river is an absolute blast! You WILL GET WET! But it is so much fun (you must be at least 12 years old)! The falls are very beautiful and you get to view them from many vantage points. Truly, a wonderful tour.
Amazing experience visiting these falls. Sandra our guide was an expert at guiding us around and navigating the crowds. She was knowledgeable and passionate about this gorgeous part of Argentina, and a joy to be with for the day. The boat ride was thrilling.
I did this trip solo before a business trip in Rio. Stayed at the Hotel Cataracas- incredible! The tour was excellent. Our guide Horacio was great. He did not rush us and kept tabs on us all. It was ALL incredible but the boat was the highlight! Not to be missed. Loved this small tour. Perfect!
Unbelievable beauty and magnitude! Boat ride by falls is a must! Wonderful experience not to be missed!
It was the real Disney jungle cruise adventure!!! The tour guide was very professional and friendly. He allowed us plenty of time to admire the cataracts and ensured we all enjoyed the fun jeep ride and the fantastic boat ride. We had so much fun getting so close to the water from the top walkways and getting drenched on the boat ride.

The scenery and the guide were fantastic. Unfortunately, we were not permitted on the jungle truck or boat ride due to my wife's disability. This was very disappointing.
The boat ride and falls were amazing. The tour guide was ok. It was more wondering by ourselves. Next time is better to buy the tickets separately and doing it on your own. Total would have been 90 dollars. We got picked up 45 mins late and was very hard to get in touch with someone to see what was going on
Falls were great. Guide was busy on his phone all the time, we heard interesting facts from guides of other tours. He was in a rush to finish which is difficult with two young children. He recommended that we take a “short walk” rather than the train from the entrance which left the kids tired already at the beginning of the tour as well as disappointed for not taking the train. In the end we decided to just go at our own pace. I honestly don’t see the point of having a guide on this tour either. Don’t recommend this tour if traveling with young kids.
Do not book ahead. The trip is dependent on water level and they will drain your day waiting. This is not a good deal and a life drain. Go to the Brazil side because it is better and they always run. The Argentina side is rocky and the water level has to be just right. Our day the water was raging and they still strung us along all morning. Not good business.
Jungle tours is a 5 minute walk from the Gran Melia Hotel or a longer 30 minute walk from the national park entrance. We were loaded onto an open top truck for a drive through the rain forest to the river. We walked 10-15 minutes down to the boat for a 7k trip up the river to the magnificent falls. The full tour experience involves getting wet but they do provide a large wet bag in which to put any belongings. Seeing the falls t river level is a great experience.
Great adventure, the boat ride was the best part of the tour, we went up to the fall to get wet. The jungle truck ride a little longer, we didn't see any animals.
Do not book with them. We did not get a boat, truck, or train ride. I'm trying to get a refund from them. I booked through Viator and was really disappointed they would partner with a company like this. Honestly, you can get a cab there and walk by yourself. They don't really tell you much. I flew 11 hours with 2 young kids and they were disappointed they didn't get to do any of the activities they promised. Avoid at all cost!
