10 stars tour!!!
Highly recommended tour! Chris is an amazing guide, he’s very knowledgeable and experienced which made our experience much better, specially that it was our first visit to Ecuador and S. America. We will definitely use Activexpedition again and request Chris as our tour guide.

Great Amazon kayaking trip
I did a 4 day kayaking trip in the Amazon with this tour company. I had a pleasure of being on this trip with Daniel (tour guide) and Churi (cook, caiman hunter, multitalented extraordinaire). The basic accommodation is better than basic in my opinion with a clean bathroom (with shower!) and an actual bed. I felt cared for and got to experience the Amazon at its fullest. Daniel is knowledgeable and loves being a tour guide. You can feel the care and enthusiasm as a result. Couldn't have asked for more. One tiny improvement could be the company's clear information on bus options from Quito to El Coca in the future. It was a bit confusing as a person who doesn't know much Spanish even with extensive research online. Daniel was very helpful in this regard.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review!

Great adventure
We had a great 4 day trip. The kayaking on the first two days was peaceful and we really liked staying at indigenous village overnight. My favorite was the rafting on day 3 on the category 3 rapids. The local guides Christian partners with really know the river well and take safety very seriously. The rafting is a real rush and I would like to do more of it in future trips!
Response from the operator: Benedict, thanks for the review, we are very glad you enjoyed this amazon adventure, we hope to see you soon!

Perfect and unique trip
We did the 5 day Kajak Waorani expedition. It was the best trip on our 6 month south america journey so far. We really enjoyed diving into a completely different world. The trip was very well organized, the guides nice and with a lot of knowledge. If you are looking for a luxury trip this is the wrong for you. Basic but very nice accommodation in the forest. A lot of animals and insects to see and feel in form of bites :) the best experience was the jungle walk where you would get lost without a local waorani guy. As well as spending a lot of time with the family drinking chicha, playing with the blowgun or with the many animals around the house.
Response from the operator: Manuel, thank you for the review and also for booking our most unique expedition, we can tell, you have collected amazing memories of your visit to the true Amazon.

Adventure of a lifetime
Christian was an amazing guide into the Amazon. He took us to amazing place and introduce us to local culture and people. He is truly passionate about sustainable eco tourism and cares deeply about supporting the communities he engages with. This was clear by amazing hospitality and generosity that was shown to us each step of our adventure. He was a great communicator and fun person to hangout with, also he told some really good stories. Each day we did a new amazing active adventure that I would have never discovered on my own. We stuck to the itinerary with some added bonuses when time allowed. My partner is vegan and he made sure she was happily fed the whole time. I highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to learn and adventure in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
Response from the operator: Devyn, we are so glad you enjoyed our Active Amazon trip, we are always very proud of having customers that care about Eco tourisim like you, let us know when you are ready for a next adventure.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Active 4 Day Amazon Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does Private Active 4 Day Amazon Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $999 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quito usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Active 4 Day Amazon Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 96 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quito is not rushed.
Is Private Active 4 Day Amazon Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Active 4 Day Amazon Adventure?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private Active 4 Day Amazon Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Active 4 Day Amazon Adventure?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quito can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quito and add a light layer if any part of the 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Active 4 Day Amazon Adventure start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quito within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Quito?
+
On Outty we rank every Quito experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cotopaxi Volcano full day tour with all the entrances, every day, Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Quito?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Quito?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Private Active 4 Day Amazon Adventure?
+
Included: Accommodation for 3 nights; Top Experienced Certified English-Speaking Guide; Water and snacks at all time; All fees to reserves and museums; and Lunch. Not included: Meals not mentioned in the itinerary; and Tips for guides and drivers. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Active 4 Day Amazon Adventure include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Quito. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Active 4 Day Amazon Adventure offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Active 4 Day Amazon Adventure?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Private Active 4 Day Amazon Adventure wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Private Active 4 Day Amazon Adventure if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Quito. Standard cancellation terms apply.
