What to Expect
Whitewater Kayak Instruction | 4 days is designed for people who have zero experience in white water kayaking. For 4 days we will learn the basics of kayaking and safety in the river and beyond. This course is recommended for people who are interested in kayaking on their own but who want to have solid foundations and feel confident in their abilities.
The instructors of Kayak Ecuador are patient and have a lot of experience, so they will adapt to the different needs of the student. We will show you the strokes and techniques in all possible ways so that your learning curve is much more aggressive.
In the case that you already have a safe roll and you can descend rivers of classification II-III, we recommend you to follow our section of Guided Kayak Tours.

El curso de Kayak sobrepasó por completo mis expectativas. El proceso y los métodos de aprendizaje son excelentes. Comienzas desde cero y terminas listo para correr rápidos. Los equipos son excelentes. La seguridad es inmejorable. Y por último los ríos y los paisajes que se pueden ver son espectaculares. Al terminar solo puedes pensar en cuando vas a poder regresar.

I made the Kayak school for beginners with Santi. It was an amazing experience. Everyone was really friendly and competent. Santi is one of the best kayak guides in Ecuador. The landscapes that you are going to see are uniquely beautiful. You are going to see Ecuador from another perspective. Safety was a very important aspect for Kayak Ecuador. The feelings and emotions that you are going to have there are just something different. I totally recommend Kayak Ecuador and will definitely come back again.

With Kayak Ecuador I have been treated so well. Love the detail to safety, the openness, friendliness they treat everyone. You are a friend from the very first hello. They make you feel so welcome that you don’t want to leave.
