| 1) Safety We put Safety first, because thats exactly where it belongs. Our client's well-being is our primary concern and #1 priority. Our guides are certified by the Association of Whitewater Rafting Guides of Ecuador (AGAR) and the Ecuadorian Red Cross. All of our trips are accompanied by a skilled safety kayaker. 2) Fun Safety might be first, but it doesn't mean we skimp out on what matters: The Fun Stuff. Our friendly staff will do their best to insure that not a moment goes by that you are without a smile. It starts in the boathouse and doesn't end till we've said our farewells at the end of an action-packed day. 3) Exploration We treat each trip as an opportunity for our clients to explore new environments, surroundings, and experiences. Whether this means that it could be a client's first time in a cloudforest, first time rafting, or first outdoor excursion, we emphasize the exploratory nature of extreme sports and their ability to inspire confidence and newfound passions in its participants. 4) Nature At Waterdog Tours, we take pride in the fact that we operate within one of the most biologically diverse areas of the planet. All of our trips are within the boundaries of the UNESCO designated Sumaco Biosphere Reserve. We consider the ecological health of our watersheds as crucially important to our continuing ability to provide our clients with top rate trips in clean and uncontaminated rivers and ecosystems. As part of our commitment to conserving local natural resources, a percentage of our profits is donated to the Ecuadorian Rivers Institute and we work in conjunction with Park Guards from Sumaco National Park and Cayambe Coca Ecological Reserve. 5) Sustainability Waterdog Tours is proud to be guide owned and operated by local residents of the Quijos Valley. In an area of the country where the main opportunities for jobs are dairy farming and oil pipeline maintenance work, we have committed ourselves to providing a more sustainable income generation activity for local residents in the form of adventure based tourism. We use local guides, local transportation, local hotels and restaurants, and our money stays in the community unlike large tourism operators based out of Quito. |
