Brazil · BOAT TOURS IN FOZ DO IGUAçU
Good boat tours in Foz do Iguaçu fill up weeks out and the best go first. Below: the 14 to book early, what each includes, and where they genuinely differ.
Foz do Iguaçu to Iguazu Falls (Brazil) with an electric-car ride, jungle walk, and the soaking Macuco Safari Zodiac boat.
“It was an amazing experience. I highly recommend it to anyone.”
Sunset catamaran cruise from Foz do Iguaçu with dinner, river border sights, Three Frontier Landmark, and a quick swim stop.
“The tour guide is just a driver, he did not care about your need. He did not tell us anything about procedure and what to expect from the tour. Once we got to the ship, he disappeared. We had to figure out ourselves that dinner is buffet and where to go. Our guide was busy standing in line to get his own food not even letting us know the time dinner starts. It is not that enjoyable if you have no idea what's going on especially your tour guide suppose to explain things in English. Good thing our phone worked for translation”

“Amazing tour! João was an excellent guide, and very helpful throughout the day. The walk to the falls is wonderful, so many photo opportunities, and the brindle out over the falls is incredible! Highly recommend this tour, I have complaints.”
Half-day Iguassu Falls combo from Brazil: open-air jungle drive, hike to a waterfall, then a wet boat ride near Devil’s Throat.
“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…”
Half-day Iguassu Falls combo from Brazil: open-air jungle drive, hike to a waterfall, then a wet boat ride near Devil’s Throat.
“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.”

“Our guide Andrea was incredible. On the Argentinian side the water was too low to do the boat ride and she completely made it work getting us over to the other side to be able to still do the Boatwrite. She was knowledgeable and fun and showed us the beauty of the trails. She completely accommodated our schedule. Beauty of the Argentinian side of the Falls is amazibg”
Private Iguazu Falls day with Argentina hikes, Macuco boat ride under the falls, and Brazilian viewpoints, hotel pickup included.
“Great pre-trip communication. Our guide Guilherme was wonderful and speaks English and Spanish. The Argentinian hike was great. We were able to hike all 3 routes at a fast pace. Be aware that for bizarre reason, the park was declining credit cards on Visa network but Mastercard went through. By the time we got to the Brazilian park, it was around 1:45p. We bought the ticket to do the boat ride which was more expensive than the park entrance fee. The nightmare began with this boat ride. It’s not the fault of the Viator tour company, but the boat company. The wait to get on the boat was 2hr20m. It…”

“Amazing the Service provided by Loumar. Starting with the guides. In addition to being friendly, they are very well trained and deeply familiar with the product they deliver. They don’t just explain what we’re seeing, and go further, with details of the history of each place. Everything is done with passion. Another important point is the cleaning of the vehicles that took us. As it was a family trip, that is an opinion of all of us. We've been around the world. Northeast Brazil, Disney, London, etc. but this agency is differentiated. And the fair price!!Auto-translated”

“We were aggregated to another tour operator who then left us at the park entrance without taking us back... The guide accompanied us to the start of the Gran Avventura Tour but then he didn't wait for us and we had to go back to the hotel at our own expense”
