It is very important for us to create among our visitor, awarennes about the real and actual situation of natural water resources, geography, history, culture and environment; real fun comes along with real knowledge.
Our goal is to deliver amazing and memorable adventures by combining safety and fun in the beautiful rivers of Napo, Ecuador. The versatility of our certified guides and instructors, offer you the opportunity to improve your skills and knowledge whether you are a beginner or an expert in whitewater rafting & kayaking.
Our passion is whitewater and we would love to show the magic and uniqueness of the Ecuadorian rivers to the whole world if possible. White water sports are not popular among Ecuadorians; for this reason, we are determined to be the company that changes the trajectory of Kayak & Rafting in the country. To achieve our goal, we are continuously searching and specializing new guides and kayakers, in order to expand the word and the knowledge of these amazing sports.

Social Responsability
We actively support and help AMAZON RIVER KEEPER with their projects!
Amazon River Keepers | Why are we doing this?
We love Ecuador and its people. We love helping others and we love everything outdoors, especially rafting and kayaking. The indigenous communities in Ecuador need help and we feel this is a great way to encourage local people to get involved in their economy and have a positive impact on the environment.
Amazon River Keepers | MISSION
Our mission is to help underprivilaged youth gain skills, education, and real world experience so they can participate in the local ecotourism industry and champion environmental stewardship.
Amazon River Keepers | How do we do it?
Through donations and volunteers, we provide job skills training (think local river rafting and kayaking training, english language skills, hospitality internships, etc) that allows the local community to participate in the region’s ecotourism industry. Donations are used to purchase equipment, pay for trainers, and provide educational opportunities.
For long term sustainable ecotourism, a healthy environment is key. For this reason, our efforts include education and training which support river and forest conservation.
Our current focus is supporting the indigenous community around Archidona, Ecuador.
