Class III Rafting Tour - We did the Rafting Class III Tour and it was really exciting! The guides were very nice and even when the river was a bit rough we felt super secure all the time. It was a fun experience with a nice lunch on top, we definitely recommend it.

Excellent jungle tour - We went on the brilliant one day jungle and canoeing trip with Gregory, who was an excellent guide. Spotted lots of wildlife - birds, monkeys, snake, frogs - and really enjoyed learning about jungle plants and Kichwa way of life

Absolutely amazing 3-day-adventure! - My brother and I did a 3-day excursion with Jose (which included Candurumy Lodge and Misahualli). With the help of joint preparation involving the entire crew, we were able to customize the trip (at no additional cost) for 3 wonderful days thanks to the friendly crew and hospitable local Kichwa family members. We would like to thank the whole crew, who entertained us the whole day and took very good care of us, and we hope they will continue to make other people as happy as we were.

Fantastic! - Completely recommended! Such a fantastic way to spend a day. We did the Grade 4, which was SUCH a beautiful route through a jungle canyon. Nice mix of gentler rapids and challenging ones, not to mention opportunities to jump off rocks, duck under waterfalls, swim and have a really tasty lunch. And the crew were just wonderful and lovely, which was really made the experience for us ♥️.

Rafting and jungle tour - My wife and I did the jungle/rafting tour with Raft amazonia. We spent two days with Jose exploring lagoons, waterfalls, and hiking. On our final day we rafted 27km with Byron l, Leondro, and Ruby. Each night we stayed in local lodges and had delicious food. I highly recommend this agency for adventures if you're in Tena and want rafting or a guide in the jungle.

Exciting, educational and fun! - Had an amazing day on the river with our fantastic guide Byron. We were the only 2 people on the trip that day so we ended up with a private river tour which was lovely. The sights were beautiful and the whitewater was great even though we were there during the low season (we didn't realize that until we started the tour). The lunch was also really good. It was really interesting to learn about the gold mining on the river and all of the destruction that is occurring due to the illegal mining by Chinese foreigners, I could tell that this was very upsetting to our guides so I asked lots of questions about it, and learned about the Ecuadorian River Institue (ERI) which is fighting (unsuccessfully) against this destruction of local habitat. 10/10 recommend this tour, and I also recommend checking out the ERI for more info on how we can conserve our limited water resources.

Amazing rafting company with amazing guides - An amazing rafting company with amazing guides. My husband and I have white water rafted a few different places (eg Gauley in West Virginia, Costa Rica) and really enjoyed hitting class III and IV with Raft Amazonia. They picked us up at our lodge and also brought us back. Our guide Jose went through all the safety rules in detail and checked to make sure all our equipment was on correctly and secure. The lead kayaker and photographer came up and introduced himself (Leandro) which was really nice. Both Leandro and Jose were so personable and warm , and a lot of fun. We knew from the start it was going to be a great day. We hit some great class III and IV rapids, floated and swam in areas along the way, Leandro took so many action photos, and we had lunch at one of the communities along the way. I even bought a few bracelets from the local community women that had stands set up on the beach. Such an amazing experience. By the end of the trip I felt we rafted with friends for the day. I highly recommend Raft Amazonia.

Fantastic experience - a "must-do" when in Tena! - Fantastic, highly recommended!! I did the day trip level 3 rafting; it was my first time rafting. The guides Vladimir, Leandro and Clayton were all excellent. I joined a group to do this activity. It was the absolute highlight of my time in Tena. I wanted to book the level 4 rafting as soon as I finished, as I had thoroughly enjoyed the trip, but there wasn't one scheduled in the next couple of days, so I will do it next time I'm in Tena :) I would really advise anyone to do this rafting with Raft Amazonia as they were so professional but also fun. They sent us all a link to the photos and videos afterwards, which our Safety Kayak guide Leandro had kindly taken. All in all, a brilliant experience:)

Experience of a lifetime - We did the three day rafting and jungle combination tour. We got to do so much more than was listed in the description online. The rafting trip had amazing scenery and lunch was delicious. The rapids were intense and a lot of fun! The next day we rappelled up four small waterfalls which was exhilirating and an experience none of us had ever done before. Finished the day at a beautiful watering hole. The last day we did a boat trip around a lagoon that we hiked through and got to see some monkeys. We ended with a trip to a cultural center where we learned more about the indigenous people who live in the area (Quichua). Our guide Jose was outstanding and knew so much about the animals, plants, and area because he is from there so he has a relationship with everyone. What you get for the price is amazing. I highly recommend this tour company. Lean into being pushed out of your comfort zone and obviously don't expect to be staying in a five star hotel. Also the homemade local meals we ate were delicious! My favorite part was getting to eat cacao fruit picked fresh off the trees!
