★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 358 reviews · from $134Our pick

Travel from Foz do Iguaçu into Brazil’s Iguaçu National Park, walk the falls, and take the Macuco Safari Zodiac toward the cascades. You’ll ride through Atlantic Forest, visit the Devil’s Throat viewpoint, and get thoroughly soaked near the falls. Groups reach 15 people, with English, Portuguese, or Spanish guides.

“We are travelling the world and this is up there with some of the best thing we have done. A mistnis to do the boat ride. Amazing to be in (under) mother natures glory. You get drowned but as its so hot it's perfect. Very well organised. Great boat driver. Worth every cent. Amazing views of the falls from the Brazilian side as you can see the falls on the Argentinian side which have 80% of the falls. The bird park was beautiful, colourful birds flamingos, toucans and butterflies. Do the 3 things on this tour.”

“The Brazilian side of the falls are breathtakingly beautiful, our guide took all the logistical complications out of the equation and we could have all our attention and effort focused on having fun. We went through faster/priority lines, didn’t have any hassle whatsoever, and had a great time with Eduardo, our guide. The bird park is a must, and the Macuco Safari boat adventure was fantastic as well. We couldnt have enough of it, so we ended the day with the helicopter ride. Absolutely recommend all activities!”

3.Brazilian Falls & Macuco Safari: transfer with ticket

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 3 reviews · from $239

You’ll visit Brazil’s Iguazu Falls and ride the Macuco Safari boat with private hotel transfers from Foz do Iguaçu or Puerto Iguazú. A bilingual guide handles transport, park tickets, and the border crossing. Expect a jungle ride, a forest walk, powerful waterfall views, and a soaking boat trip.

“The driver, who was also supposed to be our guide, did not provide any information about the area, which I feel impacted our experience negatively. In hindsight, we could have easily taken an Uber to the ticket booths in the area and had a similar, yet more cost-effective experience.”
