My friend and I are both retired. We really enjoyed the pace of our trip. The hike was beautiful and reasonable. We saw many beautiful flowers and water falls. We felt safe with our drivers and well cared for. We ground sugar cane, ate a good lunch, saw many nice views, took a hundred photos and returned back to our hotel.
Actually, I didn't go on this trip - but exchanged the experience for a half-day Guayaquil city tour instead (the flexibility on the part of the tour company was good, although contact was rather late). My guide was Simon (Monoloco) and even though it was a Monday and many of the more usual city sites were closed, I got a very good sense of the city and some of its key sites. Simon took me to several high points in the city for panoramic views - one that we drove to and one that we climbed 444 steps to (plus the lighthouse). We also visited the iguana park, the riverfront promenade and a coffee museum. He located a simple but nyummy vegetarian restaurant to cater to my dietary preferences. He has an extensive knowledge of the area - historical, socioeconomic and natural. Ask for Simon - he immediately makes you feel at home and at ease.

Noe is beyond awesome. He speaks Spanish and English. We had so much fun and learned a great deal. I would recommend the Bucay waterfall trip to anyone that wants a little adventure. We went on a weekday so there was no one except us there which was quite nice. Excellent and quick communication with pick-up as well
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great time with Noe — he truly is an exceptional guide, and we’re happy his bilingual skills and friendly personality helped make your waterfall adventure unforgettable. Weekday tours are indeed a hidden gem, offering the chance to enjoy Bucay’s waterfalls in complete peace and privacy. We’re glad you experienced that magic. Thank you as well for mentioning the communication and pick-up process — we work hard to make everything smooth and stress-free from the moment your tour begins. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon for more adventures in the mountains and cloud forest! Warm regards, Bucay Adventures Team
I love insects. We chose this tour because we hoped to get to a rainforest in Ecuador and be able to hunt for bugs at our own pace without slowing others down. Our day was absolutely wonderful. We saw so much of the city and countryside, (along with interesting insight into the everyday lives of people living here) on the way to our cloud forest. Once we arrived we did a beautiful hike to many spectacular waterfalls AND our guide, Noe, was so good at letting us look for bugs on the way. He was also really good at finding them for us. It was a perfect day.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with us and that the tour met your expectations. It’s fantastic that you were able to enjoy the city, countryside, and cloud forest. We're especially happy that Noe could provide such a great experience, both in guiding you and in helping you discover the many fascinating bugs along the way. It sounds like a perfect day, and we're so glad to have been a part of it. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back on another adventure in the future! Best regards, Bucay Adventures
Very disappointed to say the least! Arrived quite late last night after a long flight, then woke up early and waited for a no show tour! And called numerous times while waiting, and nobody answered the phone from the local vendor- Bucay Tour Adventure.
We deeply regret that you were unable to enjoy your tour as expected. We want to clarify that, unfortunately, the assigned guide had an unexpected accident while on their way to the pick-up point, which prevented us from fulfilling the reservation on time. This situation was entirely beyond our control, and of course, we prioritize everyone's safety. We fully understand how frustrating this experience can be, and we are taking all necessary measures to ensure this doesn't happen again. Our team is committed to always providing high-quality service, and this isolated incident does not reflect the standard we strive to maintain. We appreciate your understanding in this unfortunate event. For future travelers, we want to assure you that situations like this are extremely rare, and we always work to resolve any inconvenience as quickly as possible. We would love the opportunity to provide the service you expect on a future occasion. Thank you for your patience and support. Sincerely, Wilson Gonzalez

We appreciate your high recommendation and hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable adventure! Best regards, BUCAY ADVENTURES
We had a fantastic cloud tour. Our guide Wilson was fantastic. Personable, Very knowlegable. The cloud forest was beautiful. We also got to stop and sample different types of bananas and fermented fruit drinks. Lunch was at a fantastic open air side of the road cafe, the food was amazing. Got to sample local ice cream. Very cool experience.

The falls, the hiking, the fruit tasting on the way to the rain forest, the lunch, the company of the other two Americans, but above the incredible guide, Wilson. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and helpful in climbing all those wet huge rocks.

He is one of our most passionate and experienced guides, and his patience and support during the more challenging parts of the hike. Thank you again for choosing Bucay Adventures. We hope to welcome you back soon for more rainforest magic and mountain experiences! Warm regards, Bucay Adventures Team
My sister and I had a great time on this tour. Wilson was fantastic and so attentive to his guests. Definitely one of the nicest and knowledgeable guides I have ever had and I travel a lot. I highly recommend if anybody uses Bucay adventures to request him. Great, great time. Thanks Wilson. Scott and Jamie
