What To Expect
We will meet at our agency at 9 am where you will be provided with the necessary equipment for your rafting tour. Once everyone is equipped, we will start our tour taking a private van to San Francisco Town. On the way, you can see different waterfalls (Agoyan, Manto de la Novia, El Pailon del Diablo) which are along the route of the cascades. When we arrive at the river, you will be given a safety talk so that you know what to do on the raft, e.g. paddle commands and other tips to keep the group safe on the river. We will practice the commands on land first before we get on the river. Then it is time for your rafting experience through a beautiful landscape. After a great hour of rafting the class III+/IV rapids we will finish the trip in Topo where our driver will be waiting for us. To round off the trip we will have a well deserved lunch before we return back to Baños.

Amazing experience

5.00This was an amazing experience, I've never been rafting before and I loved it. Diego the instructor taught us well and spoke excellent English. I felt completely safe even though I fell in the water, I was rescued very quickly. It was very exhilarating as the water was rough, but I was told he had deliberately picked a different place as the usual section was too rough. We were sent amazing pictures and videos after too.
Motorcycles a must!

5.00Rented motorcycles 1 day to go see the waterfalls and then came back for the rafting and a guided off road motorcycle tour. They are easy to communicate with, on time, reliable and professional. Absolutely would do again!

5.00We did the white water rafting in Banos as part of a two boat expedition. We were given all the correct gear to wear before leaving the town. The trip started with a clear and concise safety talk which was very reassuring as this was my first time white water rafting. Our pilot had many years experience and handled the boat tremendously well. He gave clear instructions about when to paddle and not to paddle and we never felt out of control or unsafe. I reccomend this trip to anyone wishing to try this exhilarating trip.
Fantastic half day out!

5.00I did this trip solo and there were 5 others on the trip, the guide and safety guide / photographer were all professional and friendly and the trip was good value for money. Would absolutely recommend to anyone staying in Baños! Thanks again!
Adrenaline and fun.

5.00It was great the rafting experience, 100% adrenaline but with very good safety, recommended even if you have not done extreme sports. The guides are very friendly and patched, more than recommended.
Good. But they inflate the reviews a bit

4.00The activity is well organized, the material is good, and the guide knows well what he does. Even though it's gotten a little short, we've really only done an hour in the water. I didn't like the agency pressuring you to write the TripAdvisor review in front of them
Great experience and consultation

5.00We booked the rafting through imagine ecuador. Everything went smooth. The rafting was really fun. Afterwards we rented also an ATV at this company and got good advice. Can highly recommend this place 👌
Fun!

5.00Super fun - our fave part of the trip. If you sit on the front, you will get hit with the most water! Lunch was also good.
