Unforgettable adventure into Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest
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!

What a day
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.

Highly recommended Jungle tour on a budget and short time!
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!

Booked an English tour. I...
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.

Cool places, but no English spoken
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.
Operator response
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

A once in a lifetime experience
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!
