Our experienced and professional rafting & kayaking river guides make sure you have a safe, fun and unforgettable trip on the wild waters of Ecuador.
Rafting is open to almost anyone with a sense of adventure and not age restricted. Contact us for specialized and individual rafting and kayaking tours that can last from one to several days.
Below you find an example of a popular tour designed for beginners as well as experts.
WHITEWATER RAFTING ON TOACHI AND BLANCO RIVER
Early in the morning, we leave Quito ready for a day full of excitement. We drive through the Andes before heading down toward the coast until we reach the put-in at Río Toachi* to start our exciting rafting day. We help the guide to inflate the Raft and he gives us a safety briefing that is both fun and essential for a successful run on the rivers. Then, we put on our life vests and helmets and get onto the river. For the following 3 to 4 hours we raft down the two rivers Toachi and Blanco, for about 27 km, and have the possibility to enjoy 42 rapids. We also take a few breaks on the riverbanks, to recover energy and to enjoy the surrounding subtropical nature. At the end of our adrenaline-pumping trip, a big picnic lunch is waiting for us by the riverside. We eat and enjoy the great feeling of the trip before driving back to Quito in the evening.
* The tour can change depending on the water level, which means that we put the Raft in at a different point, but at the same Río Blanco (depending on the water level it is possible to have a 50 km long run).
