Winter Whitewater Class III+/IV- ($1,945)
Ecuador Kayaking Trips
Trip Details
There are tons of great Class III+ and IV- rivers in Ecuador, and Small World Adventures knows where to find them. On our Winter Whitewater Ecuador kayaking trip we will seek out Ecuador’s best challenging intermediate whitewater. Big water play runs, and technical rivers abound in the IV- range in Ecuador giving us many great runs to choose from. For boaters out there who are super comfortable on their local Class III and IV- runs, a week of IV- runs in the middle of winter is an ideal way to keep your skills sharp. At the same time, you’ll advance your paddling in anticipation of the upcoming boating season. SEE THAT MORPHO BUTTERFLY? asks our guide, Don Beveridge, guide at Ecuadorian kayak outfitter Small World Adventures. “Line up right below it, heading right.” We’ve already followed ducks over drops and used parrots as reference points in the jade-tongued rapids of the Lower Misahualli, an Amazon tributary five hours southeast of Quito, so keying on the iridescent insect comes easy. And alongside Beveridge, 41, who authored The Kayaker’s Guide to Ecuador, so do the rapids. Indeed, the secret to exploring the world’s exotic river canyons isn’t a Class V boof stroke; it’s going with a ringer. And with many of the world’s best kayakers supporting their habit by guiding, more foreign territory is becoming accessible to intermediate paddlers every year. – Outside Magazine
Sample Itinerary Winter Whitewater III+/IV-
*Please note that itineraries are subject to change due to water levels and the ability level of the group.
Day 1: Saturday—arrive to Quito airport. Most flights arrive at night and we recommend staying in one of the hotels out near the airport–there are many great choices that are 10 minutes away from the new airport. You should also arrange an airport pick up through your hotel. (If you arrive a few days early, it’s worth going into downtown Quito—a 1-2 hour drive from the airport depending on traffic—but if you arrive on the Saturday before the trip, we think it’s better just to stay out near the airport).
Day 2: One of your guides will pick you up around 9am (exact time to be confirmed by our office) and you’ll drive over the 13,000 foot Papallacta Pass and drop down into the lush Amazon Basin. If the weather is clear we will see three of the four highest snowcapped volcanoes in Ecuador. Once we arrive to the Luxor Hotel in Borja, we will enjoy the first of many excellent meals, outfit our kayaks, and head to the river.
Day 3: We spend all day on the lower Quijos running drop pool rapids in some of the best rainforest accessible to kayakers. Waterfalls abound on the jungle-covered cliffs with little evidence of human impact in this spectacular gorge.
Day 4: After traveling to the neighboring Napo Valley we paddle the Upper Misahualli, a delightful technical run. We’ll stay at another riverside hotel right in the town of Tena so there is ample opportunity for interaction with, or observation of, Ecuadorian life.
Day 5: Big water play on the Rio Jatunyacu and a stop at a jungle tributary swimming hole and slot canyon. After paddling we visit Puerto Misahualli where we can expect to see monkeys playing in the trees, and where we can shop for local handicrafts.
Day 6: Today we’ll paddle the remote full day lower section of the Rio Jondachi. We will return to our Tena hotel.
Day 7: Paddle the middle section on the beautiful Rio Cosanga on our way back to Small World’s base in Borja.
Day 8: After a morning paddle on the Quijos we head back to Quito, hoping to arrive to the airport area by around 5pm. Most flights are leaving Quito around midnight these days. If you have a late flight Saturday night/early Sunday morning, you will have quite a few hours to kill. We can drop you off at the Papallacta hot springs, at a restaurant or hotel out near the airport, or can bring you into downtown Quito–your choice! If you fly out Sunday morning, you’ll need to book yourself a hotel for Saturday night.

Intro to Creeking Class IV- Instructional ($1,999)
Ecuador Kayaking Trips
Trip Details
Have you wanted to step up to some fun new local creeks, but maybe you are not sure you have the requisite skills for technical runs? Here is a great opportunity to learn—and then spend a week practicing—your boof, eddy hopping, boat scouting, river signals, and how to safely boat a creek with your buddies. Ecuador is a wonderful place to learn these skills with great, continuous class III to IV creeks and technical rivers. (Just a disclaimer: this week is not about running waterfalls, but we will do more boofs than you’ll be able to count). We will spend 7 days on some of Ecuador’s most technical runs, where you will learn and refine both basic and advanced creeking skills. There will be a couple of evening “classroom” sessions where we’ll discuss skills, safety, technique, and “creeking” in general. But don’t worry, class will be over in time each night to enjoy gourmet meals and Ecuadorian night life. We also offer harder creeking runs for those of you with more advanced skills, check out our Torrents, Advanced Creeking Clinic Class IV+, or Mucha Agua trips. Sample Itinerary

Once we arrive to the Luxor Hotel in Borja, we will enjoy the first of many excellent meals, outfit our kayaks, and head to the river. Warm up and skill review on the Rio Quijos, Pica Piedra or Lower El Chaco sections. These sections are beautiful mid volume runs perfect to get the rust off your paddling.
Day 3: After a short dry land discussion on creeking signals, boat scouting and “flow” (what we call running a technical river in a small group while supporting each other) we will paddle the upper Cosanga. You can practice technical river reading, eddy hoping, boat scouting, and other basic creeking skills.
Day 4: After traveling to the neighboring Napo Valley we paddle the Upper Misahualli, a delightful technical run, where the emphasis will be boofing. We will also cover scouting–what to look for and tools to help you make the decision to run or not–judgement, self-awareness, group-awareness and self-evaluation.
Day 5: Today you will paddle the Lower Jondachi where we will work on flow, river leading, scouting and decision making–all while running one of the prettiest rainforest rivers anywhere in the world. We will also work on general paddling technique, fine tuning your paddle strokes to be efficient and powerful at the same time.
Day 6: After breakfast, we’ll either paddle the Piatua or Upper Mishualli again, adding in river rescue plus putting all the week’s skills together on an incredible warm-water creek.
Day 7: Middle Cosanga today is full of tight moves where we will use all the skills we have been practicing.
Day 8: After a morning paddle on the Quijos we head back to Quito, hoping to arrive to the airport area by around 5pm. Most flights are leaving Quito around midnight these days. If you have a late flight Saturday night/early Sunday morning, you will have quite a few hours to kill. We can drop you off at the Papallacta hot springs, at a restaurant or hotel out near the airport, or can bring you into downtown Quito–your choice! If you fly out Sunday morning, you’ll need to book yourself a hotel for Saturday night.

Is the Intro to Creeking Ecuador Kayaking trip right for me?
For our Class IV- intro to creeking trip you should have a Solid Whitewater Roll, and be comfortable leading and playing in your local class III and IV- runs. Good examples would be Browns Canyon on the Arkansas River at medium to high flows in CO. Lower Gauley in WV. Green River Gorge in WA. Cheoah in NC. Chattooga Section IV at flows above 1.4 in GA. The Canyon run on the S. Fork Payette in ID. Chamberlain Falls on the N. Fork American in CA. You do not need previous creeking experience but should have good class IV- river running skills. Normally we want people to arrive with experience on similar runs to what we plan on paddling, but this week has an instruction focus so you don’t need to already be a good creeker, just have a desire to learn and practice attitude.

Advanced Creeking Class IV+ Instructional ($1,999)
Ecuador Kayaking Trips
Trip Details
This trip/course is for people who are already good paddlers and are looking to become great paddlers. We focus on paddlers who have the basic and intermediate creeking skills down, feel good on IV and even IV+ creeks, but who want to refine their skills in order to push themselves even more. During the week, we will review basic creeking skills, learn advanced techniques, on-river safety, and work on putting it all together. Besides on-the-water skills, we’ll talk about the necessary mental skills, group skills, river rescue, and equipment necessary for advanced creeking. We hope to train you to be the kayaking partner everybody wants to paddle with. You can expect 7 days of Class IV and IV+ kayaking with the occasional Class V rapid thrown in. We will offer occasional dry land skills discussions in the mornings and evenings but still leave plenty of time for paddling. While this is an instructional course, you can expect to paddle one of Ecuador’s fantastic creeks each day. Contact our office to see if you are right for this course. Sample Itinerary

Mucha Agua Class IV+/V- (or Mucha Agua lite Class IV/IV+) ($1,945)
Ecuador Kayaking Trips
Trip Details
The Mucha Agua trip is the most difficult week of whitewater that we offer. This trip has a strong focus on Ecuador’s creeks and it’s steeper, more continuous rivers.

For people who are super comfortable boating Class IV/V runs, this is an awesome week full of world class boating. The “Mucha Agua” runs in the Qujios and Tena Valleys tend to be on the longer and more continuous side, so get yourself in shape so that you can get maximum enjoyment out of your week with us.

Trip Details
The Illinois River in southern Oregon is a multi-day classic amongst seasoned kayakers. The Illinois flows through the rugged Kalmiopsis Wilderness and offers challenging whitewater and outstanding scenery. We’ll do a 3-day, 2-night overnighter on the Illinois raft-supported by ARTA.

After the Illinois River trip, we’ll head south to California. We’ll base out of the Nordheimer Campground as we paddle the varios forks of the Cal Salmon River. ARTA will provide food, shuttles, and raft support, but we’ll be doing day runs here and returning to our base camp at Nordheimer each night. Again, kayakers should expect Class IV+ kayaking. Water levels will depend on snow pack and April weather, so come prepared for a wide variety of water levels and weather conditions! An adventuresome attitude is necessary for this trip! A solid combat roll and previous Class IV+ experience are necessary for this trip. Contact our office if you are interested in this trip so we can see if you are a good fit.

Small World Adventures will provide the kayak guides, can provide rental kayaks if you are traveling from afar, and will also provide the fun and friendly atmosphere on the river! Kayakers will love paddling through this awe-inspiring place.
