Tigre: River Delta Panoramic Boat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 294 reviews · 1 hour · from $18Best value

Cruise five rivers through Tigre’s Delta, see island homes and schools, and enjoy a one-hour panoramic boat ride from $18.

“Tigre is a really nice place to start the boat trip, not been there before and its worth a trip on it's own. The boat was in need of a little TLC, but this didn't spoil the experience. The boat travels round the islands of the delta with an interesting recorded dialogue with lots of useful info - learnt a lot :) You get a small cake and a coffee while on board and all the staff were friendly and helpful so would definitely recommend this trip.”
