Discover the Power and Beauty of Iguazu Falls with an All-Inclusive Tour in Argentina

When you think of Iguazu Falls, images of thunderous torrents and lush jungle come to mind. If you’re visiting Misiones Province in Argentina, this tour offers a comprehensive way to see the Falls from all angles. It covers all three major circuits—Devils Throat, Superior, and Lower—plus the exhilarating Great Adventure Boat Tour. For $195 per person, in around 8 hours, you’ll get an immersive experience that balances breathtaking views, physical activity, and expert guidance.

What we love about this tour is how close it gets you to the waterfalls—walking along the catwalks and feeling the spray on your face. The Great Adventure Boat adds a splash of adrenaline, giving you a chance to see the Falls from the water where the roar and power are even more intense. Plus, the included hotel transfers save the hassle of local transportation and help keep the day relaxed.

A possible drawback? The tour’s full itinerary and water-based activities mean you should be prepared for some getting wet, especially during the boat ride. Also, since it’s not suitable for children under 12 or those over 95, it’s best suited for active, adventurous travelers who enjoy a bit of a splash.

A Full Day of Waterfalls and Adventure

If you’re heading to Argentina’s Iguazu National Park, this tour aims to give you a broad, detailed look at these iconic falls. Starting with the hotel pickup, we’re whisked from Iguazu city center into the park—making the day easier and more relaxing than navigating on your own.

Once inside, the real fun begins. The tour includes visits to all three circuits, each offering a different perspective. The Devils Throat Circuit is the star attraction, bringing you face-to-face with the thundering, 80-meter-high waterfall that defines the site. You’ll walk along raised walkways that bring you dangerously close to the cascade, feeling the mist and hearing the roar—an experience that’s both awe-inspiring and humbling.

Next, the Superior Circuit offers panoramic views from above, letting you admire the waterfalls spread out below like a river of white. The Lower Circuit takes you closer to the base of some falls, where the water crashes with impressive force. Walking these circuits, you’ll see lush greenery and wildlife, making the entire journey feel like an adventure in a jungle paradise.

The Great Adventure Boat Tour: A Water-Based Thrill

The highlight for many travelers is the Great Adventure Boat. Descending about 100 meters to the dock, you’ll board powerful boats that take you right into the rapids and beneath the waterfalls themselves. Be prepared to get a little wet—an essential part of the fun. Travelers have described this ride as “thrilling” and “absolutely unforgettable.” The boat gets close enough to the waterfalls that you’ll experience the full force of the water, with some passengers quoting, “We loved the way the boat brought us right into the splash zone.”

This boat tour is a fantastic way to see the Brazilian and Argentinean waterfalls from a different angle, with the Devils Throat looming majestically in the background—a perfect photo opportunity. Keep in mind that this part of the tour isn’t recommended for children under 12, but for older kids and adults, it’s a real adrenaline booster.

Practical Details: What to Expect

The tour lasts around 8 hours, which includes travel time, walking, and the boat ride. Starting times vary based on availability, so checking in advance is essential. The transfer service included makes logistics smoother—no need to worry about taxis or public transit. However, you’ll need to reserve 48 hours ahead for confirmation, so don’t leave it last minute.

The tour price of $195 per person covers the guided walks, boat ride, and transfers. You’ll need to buy your own park entrance ticket and bring your lunch, as these aren’t included. It’s a good idea to bring an extra change of clothes because of the water spray during the boat ride, and a waterproof jacket could come in handy.

The Value of This Experience

At nearly 8 hours, this tour offers a comprehensive visit that combines scenic walks with a splash of adventure. Compared to self-guided visits or shorter tours, you’ll get the benefit of expert guiding and transportation, allowing you to focus entirely on enjoying the waterfalls. The boat ride alone would cost extra if booked separately, so including it makes this an excellent value.

Who Will Love This Tour?

If you’re an adventurous traveler or a nature enthusiast, this tour will likely be a highlight of your trip. The combination of walking along catwalks and getting wet on the boat appeals to those who enjoy physical activity and excitement. It’s an excellent choice for visitors who want a full-day, immersive experience without the hassle of organizing logistics themselves.

However, it might not suit those with mobility issues or very young children, given the water-based components and the physicality of the walks. Also, if you prefer a more relaxed, leisurely visit, you might want to consider other options that don’t include the boat adventure.
