Review of Foz do Iguaçu’s sunset catamaran cruise, with dinner, Three Frontiers views, transport details, value, and practical tips.
“The tour guide is just a driver, he did not care about your need. He did not tell us anything about procedure and what to expect from the tour. Once we got to the ship, he disappeared. We had to figure out ourselves that dinner is buffet and where to go. Our guide was busy standing in line to get his own food not even letting us know the time dinner starts. It is not that enjoyable if you have no idea what's going on especially your tour guide suppose to explain things in English. Good thing our phone worked for translation”

Review of Brazil’s Iguazu Falls and Macuco Safari, with park access, hotel transfers, boat tips, pricing, timing, and practical advice.
“The falls are up there with the best sights in the world. No words can describe them. Our driver Luis made this potentially complicated trip between the borders of Argentina and Brazil so simple and guided us along the spectacular walk dominated by the hundreds of waterfalls. The boat trip up through the rapids and skirting under falls too was a unique experience. I suggest the use of the lockers in the shop for your back up etc. also I would buy a waterproof cover for my smartphone to allow photos in the spray and also a plastic cover you as it does get pretty wet”

“Great pre-trip communication. Our guide Guilherme was wonderful and speaks English and Spanish. The Argentinian hike was great. We were able to hike all 3 routes at a fast pace. Be aware that for bizarre reason, the park was declining credit cards on Visa network but Mastercard went through. By the time we got to the Brazilian park, it was around 1:45p. We bought the ticket to do the boat ride which was more expensive than the park entrance fee. The nightmare began with this boat ride. It’s not the fault of the Viator tour company, but the boat company. The wait to get on the boat was 2hr20m. It…”
