Ecuador Adventure Tours 2023/2024

From kayaking on the Oyacachi River and windsurfing on the beaches of Santa Elena to climbing the Cayambe volcano in the Ecuadorian Andes and paragliding in the Ecuadorian Sierra — Ecuador adventure tours have something for thrill seekers of every taste. Located at the foothills of the Andes, Banos is one of the best destinations for adventure tours in Ecuador; swing above mountains or fly across the sky on a zipline. Try white water rafting on the Quijos River, with rapids of varying lengths and difficulty levels. Standing at 5,897 meters, the active volcano Cotopaxi is a popular climb, and pushing yourself to reach the summit on an Ecuador volcano tour is totally worth it for the stunning views. Whatever your adventure craving, Ecuador will likely have it!

  • Thomas V
“The views whilst driving were spectacular, which really made long days of driving bearable. Evenings around a campfire was my favourite.I love how it is an organised trip but it still feels as adventurous as if I was organising it myself.”

  • Paul L
“As a trio I beleive Rachel Jaime and Rich were a very good team as they all brought very different qualities to the job. I would say that Rachel was the most organised leader I had during the whole trip, Jamie's language came in very handy on this leg, and Rich was very enthusiastic and encouraged people to get involved”
Very Good
4 - Very Good
  • Michael B
“I had a great time on the tour. I went to Guatape and Otavalo, places that I would not have visited had I travelled on my own, and I thought they were great. I liked Rachel and Jamie, I thought they did a great job. It is very well done for people who want this type of experience and I am happy to recommend Dragoman.”

Highlights of Ecuador adventure tours

  • Climb and cave together and explore the remarkable 185-meter-deep Cueva de los Tayos, a cave network with mysterious underground rivers and a 65-meter vertical descent.
  • Swim with hammerhead sharks, penguins, Pacific green turtles and sea lions on the islands of the Galápagos archipelago on an Ecuador adventure trip.
  • Hike through the rugged wilderness of Pasochoa Reserve, a dense forest spread across an ancient volcano.
  • Ride the waves near the beaches of Montanita, a surfers’ haven said to have the best beach tours in Ecuador.
  • Add mountain bike tours to your Ecuador adventure by hitting the 50-kilometer, mostly gravel and dirt road connecting Nono and Mindo, which includes a steep 8-kilometer climb.
  • Dodge your way past growling waterfalls, steep rocks and rushing water while canyoning in Banos on an unforgettable Ecuador adventure tour.
  • Get an exhilarating bird’s eye view of the Imbabura volcano and San Pablo lakes as you soar above the indigenous town of Otavalo in a hot air balloon.

Travel tips for adventure tours in Ecuador

  • Learn a few key Spanish words and phrases for better communication with locals— 93% of Ecuadorians speak Spanish.
  • Do your safety research. Though Banos is touted as a destination for bungee jumping, some travelers have raised concerns over the safety and quality of the jump.
  • If you’re going spelunking in Cueva de los Tayos on an Ecuador adventure tour, keep in mind that some sections of the cave are more technical and may need specialized equipment.
