Additional Information

Situated a mere 32 km from Buenos Aires city center, Tigre and the Paraná River delta region present a fantastic foray into natural beauty. We furnish a comprehensive day-long cycling excursion, supplemented by a delta kayaking adventure. This biking trip takes you through Tigre, the delta region, and the northern suburbs of Buenos Aires, amalgamating both physical activities and local culture in an idyllic setting. Access to this region is conveniently provided by train and then a bicycle tour through the northern suburbs, which are arguably the most appealing part of entire Buenos Aires (a ride of 2 to 3 hours). The ultimate destination, Tigre and its adjacent islands, is worth the trip to experience one of the most captivating

  • Medium difficulty: This is the most “sporty” of the biking tours, but have no fear - these one day tours are still peaceful and relaxing. You need, however, to be confident rider, and able to use a kayak.

Fun Day of Exercise and Sights in Tigre - We spent an amazing day of exercise coupled with fun with Ray. We bicycled, road a train, a boat and took a kayak to/from delightful traditional lunch on the Tigre. Ray was informative, fun, funny and understanding with the kids. It was fabulous way to connect with the city.

Cyling and kyaking - Really fun and full day with Ray (the Kiwi). The cycling was safe and we seemed to have gone everywhere in BA. Ray knows the area and streets very well. During it I learnt how to make Matte and some biscuits (yummy). After we paddled kyak along the river and stoppped for a huge lunch. I loved these activities and had a really great time with lots of laughter. A must do in BA.

Biking 🚴‍♀️ and kayaking 🛶 - Our tour guide ( Raymond) was not fun also very knowledgeable about history and the remarkable Argentinean culture. Kayaking was one of the highlights of the tour . Great opportunity to see beyond BA.

For more active tourists in BA - Very enjoyable and relaxing cycle from BA to Tigre for kayaking - it’s around 30km but if you’ve cycled before it won’t be a problem as it’s a flat terrain. Kayaking and lunch were great, highly recommend the tour.

Fun experience - Jackson was a fun guide for me, my husband and 21 year old son. He even tied my son’s kayak to his and towed him for a bit since he was struggling with the paddling. The tour is a nice change of pace from the city and great for those who want to be active while seeing things during their vacation.

Cycling Buenos Aires to Tigre and kayaking in the delta - This full day tour was a highlight of our Buenos Aires visit. Jackson was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and friendly. His guidance cycling through the busy part of the city was very welcome and allowed us to feel safe in the short sections of heavy traffic. Overall the cycling route was very pretty and relaxed, following cycling paths in BA and quiet roads all the way to Tigre. Kayaking in the delta was great and sharing a mate made the experience feel very "Argentinian". We appreciated that Jackson shared lots of details about Buenos Aires and Argentina along the route. I highly recommend this tour for any moderately experienced cyclists.

Would Recommend Biking Buenos Aires - A really good way to see the northern suburbs of Buenos Aires as well as Tigre. A really nice day trip to get out of the city, and the bikes and kayaks were both good. I also did the "Heart of the City" tour which was a lot of fun as well. The Tigre tour is more focused on biking/kayaking and less tour, and both tours I took with the company were very good. A fun way to stay active while traveling while getting to see some places you would never go to otherwise!

Definitely worth it - Just had a wonderful experience biking to Tigre and then kayaking to an island for a typical Argentinian barbecue (by typical, i would warn vegetarians not to expect more than a pretty bland salad). Marian was our guide and was lots of fun and very informative. The bike ride is definitely doable for anyone who can ride a few miles—it’s mostly flat to downhill. The kayaking was only challenging towards the end when we were kayaking into the wind, but had we wanted to we could have taken a shorter route. We were very happy to have done this trip rather than spent another day in the city. Thanks Marian for a great day.

Great way to experience the area - We had a great day with our tour guide, Jackson. He was personable and knowledgeable about the area. We opted to bike the entire way to Tigre so it was about a 20 mile ride. The ride was primarily flat and bike trails made it easy to look around at the area with out worrying about the traffic. We enjoyed our stops, learning how to make Mata and having a coffee at a local café. The Tigre area is very interesting and we really enjoyed kayaking thru it! The meal was excellent as well. The only reason I did not give this excursion 5 stars is because we did have some technical difficulties with the bikes. On one bike the seat broke, fortunately it happened close to the starting area and we could get another one and other we had a flat tire. The guide fix both, but the bikes could use a tune up. Also the starting point is a restaurant and the address is at the back of the restaurant so we weren't quite sure we were at the right place. Maybe a little more clarification on the starting point would be helpful.
