About
My name is Enrique, and I am passionate about the delta of Tigre, where I have been navigating for more than 40 years now.
My knowledge of the delta encouraged me to offer this tour, which is the private speedboat tour with the longest navigation time available in Tigre.
I want to share my passion for the delta with my guests and make them feel unique in an unique place, at peace with nature and its marvels.
I love receiving visitors from all over the world and share their travel experiences as well.
My guests will be pampered to get full satisfaction from the tour, my aim is to make an unforgettable day for them.

Itinerary
- 1We will navigate in the host's boat, through wide rivers and narrow streams that traditional excursions do not reach. Depending on the weather, we will sail between 2 and 3 hours enjoying free snacks and non-alcoholic drinks on board. Guests can also bring their own snacks and drinks. You will have fun and relax in a safe environment. With the naked eye you will be able to observe native birds and animals, plants, flowers and trees in detail. In the warm months you can take a refreshing swim in the rivers and streams. This tour can also be done in the afternoon, depending on the guest's preference. If you wish, you can also go to a typical Delta bar, where I will wait for you while you drink or eat there and take a walk around its surroundings. If on the day scheduled for the Experience there is rain or bad weather that prevents navigation, we will reschedule the tour for another day according to your possibilities or we will refund the money, at your choice.

I can hardly add to the acclaim from the other reviews, only to reiterate it. It may cost a bit more than the standard Tigres Delta tour but this offers so much to value. Enrique reaches parts of the delta others cannot. He is a wonderful host, operates very efficiently and has a lifelong passion for the area that he wants to share with you. Be aware the trip is weather dependent which is the only thing beyond Enrique's faultless management.....or maybe not, we enjoyed a gloriously sunny mid March day with him.

What a great day trip! We were staying in Buenos Aires for a few days, and decided to book a day trip to Tigre to explore the area. Right after we booked a trip with Enrique, we got a list of very useful tips from him about our stay in Buenos Aires. The trip felt like a “VIP type of service”. Enrique came to pick us up at the hotel, on our way to Tigre we stopped at the bakery where we choose freshly baked pastries for our later picnic on the boat, we drove to the marine and from there started exploring the area. Enrique took us to some not touristic places, pointed out to interesting houses, taking photos, all this when telling us stories about the area, people and Argentina in general. Enrique also gave us some additional tips at the end of the tour on restaurants, shops, etc. Highly recommend this tour if you are looking for a relaxing half day in a good company!

We had an absolutely fantastic afternoon trip with Enrique to El Tigre. I took my 3 daughters ( all in their 20’s not teens!) & we all agreed afterwards it was the best day of the whole trip. Enrique picked us up from our Airbnb & drove us to his boat marina in El Tigre after stopping to get snacks at a beautiful bakery.
On his small speedboat we were able to go into the smaller tributaries that the larger boats aren’t able to go into & these were absolutely beautiful with water hyacinths flowing in the water everywhere. It was so peaceful & very interesting. Enrique explained & pointed stuff out throughout the whole trip & nothing was too much trouble. We stopped in a quiet location to eat our snacks & swim which was just gorgeous. ( I’m nearly 60 & was able to get on & off the boat into the water easily).
Well worth the price to get this personal service & a far superior trip to the other trips offered of a minibus & passenger cruiser. 5 stars all round & Enrique made the whole experience enjoyable & interesting. I will definitely be recommending to other friends visiting BA & I would definitely go again if I come back to BA.

This is a must-do in Buenos Aires! You get to spend so much time out on the water, and the small boat experience is just great as you truly get to connect with the place and people around you without the big crowds, you can sit in the front and enjoy the relaxing breeze and refreshing environment outside of the big city of Buenos Aires, and off the beaten path which makes it all the more worth it. Our host Enrique was also an awesome planner, planning out every detail that made the trip that much more fun.

Enrique is such a nice caring guy. He gave us the best experience on the Tigre Delta.
An amazing service that Enrique includes in his tour, is a pick-up (and return) from your accommodation which takes the stress out of finding a way to Tigre.
We and our friends were at different hotels and Enrique kept us up to date with our pick-up times according to traffic and was exactly on time. The journey from Buenos Aires to Tigre in Enriques car was comfortable and just like a personalised mini tour of the city and Tigre. A snack is included in the tour and on the way, Enrique stopped at a bakery, and we selected our own pastries for the snack.
We felt comfortable and safe with Enrique at all times during the tour.
We had a wonderful day out with Enrique. If you go with Enrique you won't be disappointed.

What a wonderful trip we had out on Enrique’s
boat. . He went above and beyond to make sure we not only had all the information we needed for the trip, he provided a lot of general useful information about visiting Buenos Aires and even answered several questions I had about our travel plans and itinerary.
We had our 10 year old daughter with us and she just loved riding in the front of the boat.
I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you choose to book a trip with Enrique you will have a wonderful personalized experience and a great time.

Enrique was such a knowledgeable thoughtful host. He picked us up on time provided some interesting facts about Buenos Aires as we drove by monuments and made sure we were comfortable. The boat ride was great and scenery beautiful, he made sure we got the pictures we wanted, and has been boating in the area for 40 years adding interesting facts about the flora, people, and history. Definitely exceeded my expectations.

Our river tour with Enrique was top-notch. He was courteous, on-time and incredibly communicative throughout booking process and the day of the tour.
Enrique provided incredible insights into the ecology, history and the communities of the Tigre Delta community. Highly recommend for any visitors to Buenos Aires.

Enrique was the best! He kept in touch and updated us as to his pickup time and then narrated the car portion of the trip out to Tigre. We learned a lot! His boat is very comfortable and he is a very attentive driver. We went thru several canals and saw the houses and nature. He gave us lots of information about the area and the community out in the delta. In the car back to our hotel he went out of his way to show us a few places. He also gave us some restaurant suggestions to try! He is a very warm person and speaks English very well. We were so happy to spend the day with him and be on a small boat instead of a big commercial one. Highly recommend this tour!

This was a great little day trip! I was staying in Buenos Aires and Enrique picked me up at my hotel. There was another single girl also on the adventure for the day. We all became fast friends. I love AirBnb experiences because I always feel safe and know what to expect. We stopped on the way and got pastries! It took about 40 minutes to get to Tigre, where we boarded Enrique’s boat. It was a relaxing day navigating the canals and admiring the homes (which are only accessible by boat). It was a great way to see this special way of living. If felt like a secret spot. Thanks to Enrique for being easy going and a great host for this little trip.

Hola voy con una persona de 70 años, es cómodo?
Cuál es ventaja de un viaje semi privado frente a uno más "turístico"?
Gracias
Written 6 May 2023
Mi esposa y yo tenemos más de 60 años y lo pasamos muy bien con él en abril de este año y el barco era perfectamente cómodo. La verdadera ventaja de hacer este viaje privado en lugar de los grandes barcos turísticos es el conocimiento y la pasión de Enrico por la zona. Con él y su bote, puede viajar por los pequeños canales y ver mucho más de la vida local real. es un señor muy agradable
