This tour was Great fun. We walked in the jungle, and swam in a waterfall. The guide was nice and told us many things about plants and animals. We also visited a local Indian community and learned about their life. The canoe ride was nice. It was a long day packed with lots of interesting activites, highly recommended!
🌿 Thank You So Much! 🌿 We're truly grateful for your wonderful 5-star review! It warms our hearts to hear that you had such a fun and enriching day—from jungle walks and waterfall swims to connecting with the local community and enjoying the peaceful canoe ride. We're especially glad our guide made the experience even more memorable with insights into the plants and animals of the region. Your kind words and recommendation mean the world to us. We hope the memories stay with you for a long time, and we'd be honored to welcome you back for another adventure someday! With gratitude, The Kajol Lavan Travel Team
It is a great day ! Like most trips having small change is useful. Many activities for one day it was non stop. During the canoe ride most stayed very dry....not ours. I should have left my phone with my bag and wore the rubber boats provided.
Thank you for the 5 stars review, we really appreciate is, it was a pleasure to have you, safe and happy travels!
We selected the full day Jungle tour by recommendation of our hotel. We wanted a small group, there were five of us. The service was great, the equipment was in good shape and met our needs. We had to pay in cash, so be prepared. The driver was careful and met our needs for bathroom breaks. The guide knew good English, and told us a lot about the jungle, we managed to see a lot considering it is only one day, we loved the lunch and most of all the Indian village experience, highly recommended!
We are so grateful for your glowing 5-star review! 🌟 It’s wonderful to hear that you had such a positive experience with us. Your kind words are a great source of motivation for our team. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon! Best wishes,
Great option to see a little of the Ecuadorian Jungle, it was only one day, but there were lots of things to do and see, the guide spoke English and was very knowlodgable, we had a great time, thank you pablo for this great experience.

If you are looking for a 1 day excursion from Baños to the Amazonian that has it all: transportation, cool guides, great activities, so many stops packed in a full day adventure at an unbeatable price, then this is for you 👌🏻
Thank for the 5 stars review, we really appreciate it, it was a pleasure to have you, safe and happy travels!
The trip was well planned and organized. Our guide, Pedro, took good care of us! We enjoyed the peek into the Amazon. Thank you!
Thanks for the 5 bubbles review, we really appreciate it, safe and happy travels!
Booked an English tour. I was the only person who spoke English. It wasn't terrible got to practice my Spanish but feel like I missed out on a lot of info. Just about every place offers this same tour. I would recommend booking through your hostel rather than through here.
It was an honest mistake, please contact us to get a full refund.
I booked the tour because it says in three separate places that the guide will be bilingual. It turns out my guide and everyone else on the tour only spoke Spanish. I had no idea what was going on and was unable to learn anything about the jungle or indigenous people because of the language barrier. I was also unprepared for all activities because I couldn’t understand the instructions. They take you to cool places, but If you don’t speak Spanish well and being able to communicate with the guide and fellow travelers is important to you I’d suggest you look elsewhere.
We do have an English speaking guide, by mistake you ended up with the Spanish speaking group, we would make sure this would not happen again Thank you for the review, safe and Happy travel
I really enjoyed the Full Day Jungle Tour! Our tour guide was amazing (one of the best I have ever had in my life), and the schedule of the day worked quite well. I had a lot of fun, I felt safe the whole time, and I highly recommend this tour for anybody in or near Baños!
Thank you for the 5 bubbles review, we really appreciate it, it was a pleasure to serve, safe and happy travels!
This trip was excellent value for money. I really wanted to get to see the Amazon while I was in Ecuador but couldn't afford to do a multi-day trip so I was really happy to find this one-day jungle tour. From the 'rope of death' to the visit to the Yasuni village, canoeing on the river and making chocolate, there's something for everyone. Highly recommended!
Thank you very much for the review, safe and happy travels!
