Foz do Iguacu private tour: why a private car matters here
A Foz do Iguacu private tour solves two problems that belong to this place. Private cars may not drive into the inner visitor area of the Brazilian national park, only accredited tourism vehicles may, and the falls are shared by two countries with a border crossing in between.
The private options below deal with both. The Brazilian-side tour and the two-country day use an accredited vehicle with access inside the park, and the two-country day adds border assistance with a priority tourist lane. Prices are starting prices in USD as of November 2026. Group prices are divided by party size, so you can compare them with the per-person tours.
Our picks: private tours
Choose the two-country day with border assistance, the private car on the Brazilian side, the guide on the Argentine side, or the airport transfer into Puerto Iguazú.

Both countries in one day with a private guide
This is the option for a first visit that includes Brazil and Argentina. Pickup is from hotels in Foz do Iguaçu or Puerto Iguazú, and the day runs 7 to 10 hours depending on how you shape it. You get a private vehicle for your group only, a licensed multilingual guide, bottled water and rain ponchos. The itinerary follows the day: more time at a viewpoint, a stop for lunch, an earlier start if the queues look long.
Boat rides and helicopter flights are optional stops, paid separately and arranged on the day, subject to weather, river conditions and time. Park tickets are not included, and the Argentine tourism tax is paid in cash. At USD 105 per person, a couple pays USD 210 and a family of four pays USD 420. It suits families and friends who want one guide for both banks of the river.
Brazilian side by private car
The Brazilian-side tour is a half day for 3 to 7 hours. Pickup and drop-off at your hotel in Foz do Iguaçu are included, along with a guided walk along the Falls Trail and VIP entrance and transport through the park. Entrance tickets, the boat ride and the bird park are extra.
The price is USD 112 for the whole car, up to four people. Two people pay USD 56 each, three pay USD 37.33 each and four pay USD 28 each. It is the cheapest private option here for a couple or a family who want the main walk without a bus timetable.
Argentine side with an English-speaking guide
The park ticket, the tourism tax and the boat trip are extra.
The price is USD 96 per person, which makes USD 192 for a couple and USD 384 for four. Choose it when you are staying in Puerto Iguazú or already have the Brazilian side planned for another day.
Private airport transfer to Puerto Iguazú
If you land at Foz do Iguaçu airport and sleep in Argentina, a private car with a bilingual guide takes you to your hotel in Puerto Iguazú. Plan 1 to 4 hours including the border. The Meliá hotel adds USD 25 per vehicle, and border fees and tickets are not included.
The price is USD 136 for up to three people. Two pay USD 68 each and three pay USD 45.33 each. For airport rides within Foz, see getting there.
Private or shared: when the group day is better
A traveller on their own or a couple on a tight budget may prefer the group day tour of both sides, which starts at USD 44 per person with park tickets extra, or the transport-only trip to the Argentine side from USD 35. For four people the private Brazilian-side car works out at USD 28 each, below the group day price, although that tour covers both sides. See all group options on the tours page and ticket prices on the tickets page.
