Featured review

Thomas_H

It was a brilliant trip to see several waterfalls, and even walk in the in the river, really great trip for anyone that enjoys walking along rocks! The highlight was a swim in the Iguassu river. Even though it was a cold day, the water was warm and was a lovely experience. The guide Andres was really knowledgeable and clearly enjoyed it. All staff were really helpful.

Great off the beaten path tour

Nicholas_F, Nov 2025

Camily made the experience amazing! Lots of hidden swimming spots and great hikes. If you are looking for something about different with exercise this is a great trip

Amazing waterfall experience

Fun trek with swimming and bouldering

C_L, Jan 2025

It's not in the national park itself, but it's a fun couple of hours where you get to take a hike through the jungle and see and swim in some cool waterfalls. There is bouldering involved and they make you wear a helmet as you hike. I don't think they knew I was coming but they immediately switched out for an English and Spanish speaking guide.

Amazing experience

Christina_P, Jun 2024

The Secret Falls tour was incredible! Since we were on the Argentina side, our guide offered to pick us up at the Brazilian border and took us to the different waterfalls. We were provided with protective equipment (life vests, helmets, water shoes for an affordable rental price) and felt very safe on our tour. Our guide was very welcoming and informative. It was awesome to be able to swim in the water!

Off-the-beaten-path Experience

Amy_B, Jun 2024

Beautiful hike through the jungle near Iguazu! A little more strenuous than we expected. Not for those who have physical limitations. Expect to sign a waiver and wear a helmet on some parts, due to low branches and some slippery terrain. Also, plan to wear swim suit underneath hiking clothes, and wear or bring water shoes and towel, if you'd like full experience. We were picked up at our hotel about 8am (an hour before the tour start time), and we had a small group, we moved fairly quickly, so we were done and back at our hotel by lunch. Guides were nice and helpful, but only one spoke English well. Would definitely recommend for an "off-the-beaten-path" experience!

The Activity that never happened

JonathanB, Mar 2023

I would give 0 stars if I could. After reading really good reviews, we were really excited about this particular activity. After booking the activity, we reached out to the company directly several times to confirm the pick up location, and never got any response. We eventually contacted Viator and agreed on a pick up location with customer service. The day of the activity we had to walk about 30 min to the agreed upon location. After waiting for about an hour, we finally got a hold of the company, and they indicated that they would not be able to do the tour. They asked if we would be interested in doing it another time/day, but unfortunately it was our last day there so we ended up having to request a refund… which we are still waiting for..

An unforgettable experience!

Urszula_T, Jan 2022

It was a great adventure with a real nature experience! We walked, swam, jumped, dance in the water and it was beautiful! The guide, Andre, took care of all of us, we had time to take pictures and explore - everything with helmet, so ist was very safe.

A morning in the secret falls

Marianne_K, Jan 2022

It was increible. I really recommend it. A perfect way to relax in Foz de Iguazu. The people were super great and the falls were fantastic

Operador turístico de gran integridad.

Aurelien_C, May 2024

Como el recorrido no estaba disponible debido a las fuertes lluvias que ponían en peligro, no dudaron en reembolsar completamente cada boleto para cada cliente.

Passeio perfeito

almir_r, Feb 2024

Sensacional, as 5 cachoeiras e o banho de rio que tomamos foram extraordinários. Trilhas relativamente fáceis e cenário exuberante. O Amarilla foi atencioso, pontual, gentil e muito competente. O motorista foi muitissimo delicado tambem, tudo certo!
