We invite you to spend a unique day with us on the Delta. We meet at Tigre Station, where we then take you to our island home where we start kayaking from the calm and quiet of a gentle stream. And of course upon our return to the island a traditional asado, will be waiting for us. « less

Avoid the touristy boat options in Tigre and see the real, natural side of the delta with this great kayak tour. My boyfriend and I did the half-day tour with Juan, and we happened to be the only two people on the tour that day. After Juan met us at the train station, we took the public water taxi to... More

We had a great day on the canals in the Tigre delta. We booked the half-day tour, and had around 2hours of kayaking itself, plus some more time in the delta for chilling, swimming and looking around in the nature. If you want to get away from the typical touristic atmosphere of Tigre, it is highly recommended to do such... More

Had a relaxing day away from the city paddling around the canals in the Delta of Paraná looking at birds, boats and holiday homes for a couple of hours (or three). There was time for a nice swim to cool off before a good lunch at a local place & to hang out in an adirondack chair back at the... More

Juan was very personable and tri-lingual. The kayaks were very good quality (doubles mostly). Cost was about $100 US per person, including lunch. Unlike US style "go go go" adventures, this one has a nice slow pace. Pick up at the train station at 8:30 am. Start with matḗ and looking at bird books; leave for kayaking about 11:30-noon; stop...

Booked this day trip after reading the good reviews on here and wasn't disappointed. Juan and Chapa were excellent hosts and full of knowledge about the delta. The actual kayaking trip itself was great as you get to see a mixture of the more modern riverside houses as well as the wilder parts of the island where we saw a... More

Booked this trip because of the rave reviews. Maybe it's because I've done a few kayak trips before but this was nothing special. Nice, relaxing day out of the city, but you can get that with just sitting by the river in one of the parks and watching the boats. What you see on the river trip is not much... More

I haven't done a lot of kayaking in my time, but this experience was absolutely surreal and wonderful. Unfortunately the day we did it I was a little under the weather suffering from a cold. However we persevered and boy was it worth it. As soon as we got on the water my head cleared up, and I started enjoying... More

We've rafted and kayaked in OR and CA but our Eldorado experience on Oct 11th was quite special. Part of the experience was the company of Chapo and Martin, two of the three founders, who met us at the Tigre Station map where all Eldorado trips begin and transported us on the river to their facility. After full safety instructions... More

My father and I spent a day with the guys at El Dorado (Juan and Frank) and had a great day. The delta was quiet (we were there in May on a cloudy day) so it was beautiful to kayak around the different creeks and rivers. The guys cooked us a great lunch and the place they have is a... More

We read your reviews before we left and what we found was more than we expected. A perfect few 'fun' hours paddling around the canals as well as in the main river then a fabulous bbq with great wine and home made 'local' sweet potato dessert! We enjoyed the company of Chapa and Frank and sitting in their garden we... More
