Whitewater Kayak Instruction – BECOME A SOLID PADDLER | 7 days – All inclusive!

Kayak Ecuador started with the vision of teaching those wanting to learn how to kayak how to do it correctly and safely. Since this was our initial dream, we put our soul into making this 7-day school the best experience possible for beginning kayakers. Much of kayaking is learning how to mentally deal with problems that may arise in the water. We believe it is worthwhile not only to teach students fundamental kayaking maneuvers, but to also teach students how to mentally deal with problems that appear so they have a worthwhile learning experience and so they increase in ability. Although this comes with frustration at first, we have witnessed pure satisfaction on the faces of students after successfully completing their first roll or having a good run in a tough rapid. In order to have this indescribable feeling, we make sure to teach with patient, qualified, and fun instructors. We do everything with safety as our first priority and because of this, our students have confidence in us. Since everyone in the school is a beginner, there is no one around to judge and every student can grow authentically and without embarrassment. By the end of the school, students feel as though they are part of a club because everyone has improved in skill and the passion for kayaking has been sparked.
