Tigre Bike & Kayak Adventure
A Full-Day Escape Into Nature, History & River Life

Immerse Yourself in a One-of-a-Kind River Ecosystem
A private journey through green trails, aristocratic towns, and hidden islands.

ONLY PRIVATE TOUR

What Is It?

This full-day private adventure blends the best of land and water as you explore Northern Buenos Aires by bike and kayak. You’ll pedal along elegant tree-lined paths, pass historic mansions and cobblestone streets, then head deep into the lush Paraná Delta—one of the world’s only river deltas without tides.

We’ll kayak through peaceful channels, land on a hidden island, and enjoy a traditional Argentine asado (BBQ) surrounded by nature. This tour is both relaxing and adventurous—designed for travelers who want a unique, personal experience far from the crowds.

Tour Highlights

Start early biking through San Telmo
Take a scenic train ride to the northern suburbs or pedal all the way out – you choose.
Visit San Isidro’s historic cathedral & sip mate like a local
Explore a preserved 1800s aristocratic home
Enter the Paraná Delta, a true ecological treasure
Kayak along peaceful waterways through the “Silver River”
Swim, relax, and enjoy a gourmet Argentine BBQ on an island
Get lost in the sounds and colors of Delta nature

Why Choose This Experience?

This is our most immersive and exclusive adventure—designed for curious, active travelers who want to truly disconnect. You won’t find this combination of bike, train, kayak, and asado anywhere else in Buenos Aires. That’s not marketing fluff—no one else offers this.

At Biking Buenos Aires, we’re proud to guide small private groups through authentic, lesser-known parts of the city and its surrounding natural gems. On this tour, you’ll feel like a local explorer, not a tourist.

🌿 Connect with nature just outside the city
🚲 Small private groups only (max flexibility + personal feel)
🧭 Off the beaten path: aristocratic homes, hidden islands, real mate culture
🔥 Gourmet Argentine asado prepared on the island
💧 Swim, kayak, relax—it’s your day, your pace
💬 Warm, local guides who adapt to your interests

Better than a typical tour …

We had such a great experience on this tour and saw more than the city. We felt its heartbeat. Biking was a great way to get a feel for the neighborhoods we saw and get a bit of exercise too. The bikes are in great condition and even the helmets were painted with pretty art! Raymond was so generous with his knowledge giving us insight not into just the history of the graffiti art and the landmarks but the context of what it meant. We felt like we saw more than just the sites but the soul of the city. It started to rain and Raymond had ponchos for us to wear and at the end of our tour even gave us a little mate (sp?) lesson where he taught us how to make it and the custom of sharing it with others. This tour was definitely a highlight of our trip! Highly recommend and thank you Raymond!

A Must Do in BA

Raymond was both a pleasure to be with on our ride and a fountain of information about Argentinian culture and history. We braved the rain with ponchos that he provided and even learned how to tango during one of our rest stops. It was a great way to see parts of the city that are often missed on the classic tour stops. Highly recommend!

From “Dodgy” Jokes to Delta Magic — A Day We’ll Never Forget

We spent 9–5 with Raymond and can say without hesitation: this wasn’t a tour — it was a proper day out with someone who genuinely loves what he does. The ride from Buenos Aires to Tigre could have been just a transfer. Instead, Raymond turned the 32 km stretch into a rolling masterclass in neighbourhoods we would never have discovered on our own — elegant residential pockets, striking architecture, quiet, wealthy enclaves tucked between the city and the delta. The kind of places that don’t show up in the “Top 10” lists but absolutely should. Raymond himself? Endearing, sharp, and very funny. By mid-morning we had our own running jokes (“that’s what she said” may have made multiple appearances), and he gamely leaned into Kiwi slang — tossing around “dodgy” and “cheeky” like a pro. The banter made the whole day feel effortless. Tigre was the perfect contrast to the city. We kayaked through the delta for about an hour, which felt peaceful and almost surreal — quiet water, leafy channels, and the rhythm of boat taxis moving through the area. We met a lovely local family who run those boats (and yes, we absolutely made friends with their adorable dog). It felt authentic and unpolished in the best possible way. Lunch was an asado experience that delivered everything you hope Argentina will deliver — relaxed, abundant, delicious. No rushing, no conveyor belt vibe. Just great food and time to enjoy it - we got lost in conversation. Raymond’s layers are what make him special. A former hairdresser of 25 years who moved to Buenos Aires to pursue acting — and has two films with Harvey Keitel under his belt — he brings storytelling, timing, and personality to the day. He’s proud of his path, and he should be. It shows in how he connects with people. He also sent us to an excellent gelato spot at the end — the kind of recommendation that only comes from someone who truly knows the area. We covered a lot of ground, but it never felt rushed. It felt curated. Personal. Thoughtful. If you’re looking for someone who goes beyond surface-level sightseeing and gives you a day full of insight, humour, and genuine connection — Raymond is your guy. Cheeky, charming, and absolutely not dodgy. Highly recommend.

Fabulous tour with Pablo and Patricio! The whole family had a wonderful time — ages 12-44. Amazing experience. Highly recommend!

Best way to experience Buenos Aires landmarks

Pablo and Patricio were amazing guides! The tour was thoughtful and well organized, they had a buddy system that made sure all 7 of us were safe crossing roads and navigating throughout the city. They were knowledgeable, friendly, calm, charismatic, and generous with their time and a lovely mate and alfajores treat. We were two families, four adults and three children between the ages of 12 and 15 and did a private south tour. We hit all the spots on the itinerary and were lucky with the weather on a cooler day in March. If the sun were shining it probably would’ve been much hotter. Recommend bringing shades for better visibility. They provide the bikes, helmets and water. We wouldn’t have been able to see everything we saw had we not done the tour. It took about 4 hours and the biking was relatively easy, only one small hill at the end. Highly recommend! And ask for Pablo and Patricio. And… perfect English. Thanks guys!

Fantastic way to spend a day!

Spent the day with Jackson - our awesome tour guide - and rode from Buenos Aires to Tigre (about 42 km). Fantastic way to see some of BA that you wouldn’t otherwise get to and also explore the surrounding area. Had a lovely lunch in Tigre followed by 3 kms of kayaking. Super fantastic day - highly recommend!

Learn about many of the great artists and the significance of the street are and graffiti in Buenos Aires. Awesome!

I loved this tour! Buenos Aires has tons of interesting street art and graffiti and I was eager to learn a bit about the artists and context (I didn't just want to drive by normal tourist sights). This bike tour was the perfect solution. Pablo was my fantastic guide. He is professional, knowledgeable and passionate about this tour. I'm so glad I did it. I left with so much more understanding of some of the artists, hidden gems and the meaning behind many of the fascinating pieces.
