What to Expect
Running the Jatun Yacu river in a duckie boat with our company is unique for many reasons. First is the experience you will get by simply being in a duckie boat. Unlike running the river in a raft, the duckie provides a more personalized experience because tyou are in control of your trip. The duckie boat is a happy medium between a kayak and a raft. It provides the thrill of being closer to the water and thus every maneuver is greater and more intense, but also provides the safety and comfort of a raft.
Since you are in the boat with just the guide, you can be as adventurous or relaxed as you want by telling the guide you want to hit big waves and curves or by asking to avoid them. By the end of the experience, you will feel as though you made a friend on the trip which adds value and memory to your experience.
The beauty of the Jatun Yacu and Iluculin rivers that you see on this trip is unparalleled. The size of these rivers is not only impressive, but the views available all day long will leave you with a magical feeling. You will be surrounded by lush Amazonian jungle, hear the sounds of the birds only found in this region, see exotic flowers and plants, and marvel at the jungle covered mountains in the distance.

Fué una salida de un dia, fuimos en un bus comodo desde quito hasta la Amazonia, donde iniciamos una aventura increíble rio abajo.
La staff de Kayak Ecuador son muy profesionales con la seguridad y los detalles que hacen que la aventura sea increíble.
Debo remarcar que fuí a esta aventura con mi madre que ya está sobre los 64 años, ella lo disfruto demasiado, está muy feliz y con ganas de repetirlo.

Todos los guías son muy buena onda, te hacen sentir muy cómodo y te dan la confianza y seguridad porque cuentan con todo el material y equipos necesarios para ello. Asimismo, realizan charlas de seguridad muy completas antes de iniciar el recorrido del rafting. Los paisajes son increíbles y la comida es muy rica. Además, puedes solicitar el paquete que incluye fotos y durante todas las actividades te filman. El personal conoce muy bien las rutas y cuentan con mucha experiencia.

Una experiencia demasiado divertida! Los guías están muy capacitados y nos explicaron todo de la manera más clara. La ruta por el río Jatunyacu es divertida y segura. Definitivamente algo que vale la pena hacerlo y repetirlo

Descenso con rafting del Jatunyaku genial. Los guías a parte de ser expertos son un grupo de chicos jóvenes muy simpáticos. Fue un día genial y como digo en mi título, ya estoy mirando a ver que día vuelvo!
