Quilatao Lagoon with Daniel

Highly recommend this tour!! Daniel was prompt and on time to pick me up. On the way to Quilatao Lagoon, there are a lot of stray dogs that get dumped there and just sit on the side of the highway. We went to the local bakery and bought food for them. It was heartbreaking to see those dogs! But glad we got to feed a lot of them! The tour to Quilatoa was informative and Daniel had such a passion for Ecuador, culture and history! We had a couple of scenic stops before making it to the lagoon! We tried the Canelazo and Salcedo Ice Cream! Delicious! The scenery was spectacular!! Highly recommend Daniel and his tour!!

Response from the operator: Thank you Ghada! And a fresh made tattoo to finish the day! Stay in touch and thank you for your beautiful energy and for being a good traveler and friend :)

Quilotoa's crater Lagoon Private Tour: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.

How much does Quilotoa's crater Lagoon Private Tour cost?

+

Prices start at $88 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 Quilotoa's crater Lagoon Private Tour take?

+

Plan for about 6 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 Quilotoa's crater Lagoon Private Tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Quilotoa's crater Lagoon Private Tour?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Quilotoa's crater Lagoon Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Quilotoa's crater Lagoon Private Tour?

+

Around 1 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Quilotoa's crater Lagoon Private Tour 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 Full-Day from Quito Including Entrances, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities, Quilotoa Lagoon Full-Day Tour from Quito with Entrance Fees daily. 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.
