Volledige dagtour naar Mindo met vrienden! (Engels)
Beschrijving
Mindo is een prachtige vallei, twee uur ten noordwesten van Quito, op de westelijke hellingen van de Pichincha-vulkaan. Deze plaats biedt verbazingwekkende natuurlijke landschappen en vele avontuurlijke activiteiten. Zodra je aankomt in het nevelwoud van Mindo, bezoek je een vlinderboerderij en kolibrievoeders. Vergeet uw camera niet! Het avontuur gaat verder met luifels, met 13 zip-lijnen van verschillende lengtes die variëren van 20 tot 400 m en met verschillende kenmerken voor avonturiers van alle leeftijden. Als u de voorkeur geeft aan een andere activiteit, bieden wij ook de mogelijkheid om in een tarabita (een kleine kabelbaan) te rijden en door het nevelwoud te wandelen om prachtige watervallen te bezoeken. Na al deze spannende activiteiten heeft u een pauze voor de lunch. Voordat u vanuit Mindo vertrekt, bezoekt u nog een speciale plek om vogels te spotten. De prijs geldt voor groepen van drie of meer passagiers. Als het minimumaantal passagiers niet wordt bereikt, nemen we per e-mail contact met u op om de dag van de tour opnieuw te plannen.

Wonderful experience exploring Mindo! We traveled during Carnival and our tour guide managed to get us through the crowded areas with ease.
Hi Laura. Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you had a great experience exploring Mindo, especially during the busy Carnival season. Our guides always do their best to make the journey smooth and enjoyable.
I enjoyed seeing the hummingbirds and the wildlife. In the booking it said they would pick you up from your hotel for an extra fee when I contacted them this was not the case. I booked the tour with the expectation they would pick me up from my hotel. I didn’t do the zipline activity and during the time the others were away zip lining my tour guide sat on his phone and basically ignored me. I felt this was very unprofessional and I don’t think the experience was worth what I paid for it.
Hi Suzie, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed seeing the hummingbirds and wildlife, as they are part of the special charm we seek to offer. We sincerely regret the inconvenience you experienced with the transportation service during your tour. As this is a group tour, pick-up is arranged from meeting points to facilitate a quicker departure. We will make sure to specify better to avoid future inconveniences. Regarding your experience during the activity, we apologize if you did not receive the attention you expected from the guide. This is not the level of service we want to provide, and we will take steps to reinforce the professionalism and commitment of our team in all activities. Thank you again for sharing your experience, this certainly helps us to improve in order to offer a better service to our customers.
Took the full day tour to Mindo with Jonathan and Jimmy as the driver. It's a 2 hour drive from Quito but Jonathan gave lots of information about Quito and the area on the way. Our first stop was the butterfly center, which was very good. I decided not to do ziplining but went with the Cable car option. From there we hiked to another tram to take us further into the forest. Unfortunately my knee was not holding up because of the many steps built into the trail. Jonathan was very patient with my slow speed. I could only make it to the first waterfall. He also took pictures for me climbing over some of the rocks for better pics of the waterfall. We really did not see any wildlife but Jonathan did point out some of the plant life. After heading back down, they suggested a place for lunch which was very good. I invited them to join me. Next stop was the chocolate making facility. Had a chocolate facial and some tastings, and info on chocolate making. Our last stop was the humming bird platform. That was the best part of the day and I believe both Jonathan and Jimmy enjoyed it as much as I did. Long ride back and it was a full day, getting back around 7 pm. Jonathan was a good guide. Jimmy an excellent driver. I was surprised at the cost $250 considering tours from other companies were less expensive. My fault for not checking the price beforehand.
Hello, the tour to Mindo was wonderful, I thank the Guide and the Driver José, they were very helpful. We visited the butterflies and birds, and we even saw a TUCAN bird. It was wonderful. Thanks for everything!
This tour was an incredible experience! Our guide, Jonathan, was informative, personable, kind, fun, and amazing! He was with us every step on our adventures to the butterfly gardens, hummingbird terrace, up and down mountains, and through a rainforest! Our lunch and food stops were wonderful! Authentic food at its best! We were so very pleased about everything on this tour! Highly recommended!
Johnathon was a tremendous guide and would recommend him highly. If we ever make it back to Quito, we will reach out to him for another tour
I wish I could add more stars to this review. I stayed at Friends hotel and joined this tour to Mindo and had an amazing time! Jonatan was a gracious tour guide, kind, helpful and went above and beyond. He pointed out places of interest, shared his culture and kept the conversation up. We had as much time as we wanted in each location- the hummingbird sanctuary was a highlight as was the stop at Pululahua crater for a photo stop. He was our driver, guide and personal photographer! The included lunch was lovely and filling and the chocolate tour was very informative- I’ve done chocolate tours before and this was by far the best. The cable car and waterfall hike were excellent- even if we weren’t quite as fit as Jonatan, he never made us feel as if we were taking too long when we took breaks and never rushed us. Overall, this is one of the best tours I’ve experienced in all of my travels and highly recommend it. Wear good hiking boots if you plan to do the waterfall hike as it is steep and slippery in sections.
Had an amazing day trip tour to Mindo with our tour guide Jonathan. He was very knowledgeable and accompanied us to many different activities within Mindo. It was a seamless experience and I would highly recommend using this tour company.
It was a decent tour! We were able to see and do a lot and had private transportation to, from, and around Mindo. However, I thought we were going to hike to more than just one waterfall (we didn’t) and experience more of the forest. Additionally, Mindo is known for its variety of bird species and our guides did not seem to know anything about the birds or local flora and fauna. We were able to do a lot still in a day, but I would recommend going with an expert in wildlife.
Absolutely wonderful! Oscar was extremely kind and considerate and the tour was paced very well. All of the activities were great, and he even helped to find my friends lodging for later that evening
