Tigre Delta Private Boat & Paraná Islands Lunch Cruise

Escape the city entirely on a private launch into the Paraná Delta — an Amazonian labyrinth of willow-shaded waterways, weekend villas and rowing clubs just 30 km from the capital. Lunch aboard or at a delta restaurant as the current does the work.

What to expect

A private transfer north from Puerto Madero delivers you to the Tigre waterfront in under an hour. Your boat glides into channels shaded by ceibo trees and trailing willows, past brightly painted weekend houses accessible only by water. The captain points out native birds — kingfishers, herons, monk parakeets — as you drift deeper into the labyrinth. Lunch at a riverside restaurant means grilled river fish, provoleta and cold Torrontés as speedboats and kayakers pass in the dappled light. The return journey offers a completely different perspective of the channels as the afternoon light turns amber.

Good to know

The Tigre Delta excursion takes approximately 6–7 hours return including transfer; confirm all-aboard time before booking. Apply sunscreen and bring a light layer — the delta breeze on the water can be cool even in summer. Book the private boat option directly by contacting Shore Excursions Group or a local Tigre operator for the most exclusive experience.
