Me and my partner just returned from Dolphin Lodge in Cuyabeno. From the start this place along with the people never failed to amaze us! I was truly shocked at how much wildlife we would see over the course of 4 days. However, it was our guides throughout this experience, including Jorgé Esmeralda and Elias who made this trip even better! I could not recommend this experience any more to anyone looking to go to the Amazon. Thank you so much! Nathan and Izzy

We had an amazing time. It's truly an experience to never forget! The food in the lodge is amazing, and the guides are so enthusiastic.

We would definitely recommend staying here. The area is fantastic, with plenty of wildlife, and both the accommodation and food are excellent. Our time with Elias was especially memorable. He has a great eye for spotting wildlife, is very calm and knowledgeable, and is not 'too much'

I spent 4 fantastic days in the Amazon with the Cuyabeno tour. I truly felt like part of the family, even though we were all strangers. The staff was amazing, especially the guide Victor, who was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The food was fantastic, from breakfast to dinner. The location was breathtaking. In short, don’t hesitate too much about booking because the experience is truly unique. Dale charapita, vamos yaaa.

My wife and I had a great experience at Dolphin Lodge. The guides and tours were great, lots of wildlife sightings. Beautiful surroundings. Food served was very good, as well were the guides. Visited a local community, went swimming in the Grande Lagoon. Staff were friendly and guides very knowledgeable and able to spots lots of wildlife. All in all a great experience that I would recommend to anybody and we felt that the price was reasonable, we had booked the 5-day Enchanted tour. A memory that will last a lifetime, Thanks. 3btraveler

Una experiencia espectacular! La estadía en Dolphin Lodge es completa y llena de aventuras. Nuestro guía (Miguel) tiene una energía increíble y se siente su compromiso con el lugar, con la naturaleza y las personas. Cuando llegamos al Puente nos costó ubicarnos ya que no sabíamos que a donde íbamos era Dolphin lodge, pero pronto las personas del lugar nos guiaron con mucha amabilidad. Tuvimos también la oportunidad de conocer a personas como Johnny que nos llevó en la canoa y nos enseñó acerca de su comunidad.

Loved my experience in the Amazon! I did the 4 day, 3 night package, and it was the perfect amount of time to experience the rainforest. My guide, Viktor, was so knowledgeable and engaging— he did a great job entertaining our group and ensuring we learned about the different wildlife and plants. His wildlife spotting skills are immaculate. Truly a detail-oriented individual, and I am so grateful for this experience! The food at the lodge was AMAZING. Everything was fresh and harvested locally, and every meal was different. Great experience overall.

This trip was absolutely one of a kind, our guide (Victor) had eyes of a hawk, spotting tons of wildlife and explaining any questions we may have had. The food was delicious, self severed with tons of options for each meal (the soups at lunch are incredible). The hangout areas are very fun and cozy allowing you to connect with other travellers and build a strong bond during your stay (we did the 5 days at dolphin lounge with my family of 4). The showers have the HOTTEST water I’ve ever had in Ecuador. There are tons of activities everyday with the ability to swim in the Laguna each evening. And a big thank you to the amazing customer service (Micheal) he was the leading factor for me choosing this tour agency, he is very responsive and helpful in anything you may need. Thank you for making this a amazing and one of a kind Christmas 🙂

Great organization to experience the Amazone

Absolut empfehlenswert. Preis - Leistung mehr als gut! Die Lodge hat eine super Lage und ist die absolute Idylle. Es ist sauber, das gesamte Team ist super nett und herzlich und steht mit jeder Frage unterstützend zur Seite. Die Tage sind gut und abwechselnd organisiert. Von Sonnenaufgang bis Sonnenuntergang nimmt man das volle Erlebnis mit. Das Essen ist täglich anders, berücksichtigt alle Wünsche, ist frisch, lecker und ausreichend. Die Guides Victor und Miguel sind wahre Naturexperten und sehr herzlich. Kapitän Johnny erfüllt auch jeden Wunsch und ist ein toller Fahrer. Auch der Kundenservice der Lodge ist super: zügig, hilfsbereit und sehr nett.

La buena atención de este lugar no comparación, comida deliciosa y guías muy experimentados, espero poder volver a disfrutar de este lugar

It was fantastic, we met wonderful people and spent an unforgettable moment in the jungle.

I had an amazing time at Dolphin Lodge! The activities were fantastic, and the food and people made the experience even better. The lodge has great facilities, including cozy beds, relaxing chill areas with board games, hammocks, and free tea and hot chocolate available anytime. There was a perfect balance between exciting activities and free time to enjoy the beautiful nature around us. Our guide, Elias, was incredible! He explained everything clearly in excellent English and patiently answered all our questions. I highly recommend this place for an unforgettable adventure!

The lodge is located remotely and the digital detox there is only one of the many blessings travelers can find here! The wildlife is stunning, the staff kind and prepares delicious food and the guides are knowledgeable about the wildlife. I definitely recommend this place

Very attentive staff and the guides George and Elias were very informative. Best adventure I've had.

My girlfriend and I had an exceptional stay at the Cuyabeno Wildlife Center / dolphin lodge! The guides are all locals from either the mainland or some of the communities within Cuyabeno, which allowed them to give exceptional insight to the area and culture. Everyone was extremely friendly and opened the daily itineraries to requests made by the group, like additional night walks or visits to the lagoon. The food was incredible, and the buffet style ensured we all ate as much as we wanted. We spotted so many amazing creatures thanks to their expert eyes and couldn't have asked for a better trip into the Amazon. Thank you so much!!

All the guides are amazing! We saw so much wildlife. Definitely recommend!

10/10 experience! Guides are doing their work with an insane amount of passion!

Increíble experiencia!!! Un viaje inolvidable por primera vez en el Cuyabeno! La comida es deliciosa y los cuartos súper cómodos. Nuestro guía Miguel sabe muchísimo y nos dio una experiencia imersiva y muy muy completa. Recomiendo 100%

Had a great time visiting to jungle - you can expect to discover the wildlife with the super talented and good guides. Was not expecting that the food will be so delicious!

I had a great time. I am especially grateful to Mike, he saved my trip. I made a mistake and missed my bus. He helped me and without any problem I could start an unforgettable adventure the next day! Thanks Mike

We did the 5 day tour and really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. The service including the food were amazing. Also our guides Alexandra and Jessica were awesome!!

The 3 night 4 day trip was an amazing experience! Everything was planned out well and my dietary requirements were taken care of thoughtfully everyday. There was plenty of adventures and wildlife spotting opportunities as well as downtime each day to relax and enjoy being in nature.

From the off the whole experience was absolutely fantastic, I am so glad I chose to do it. Mike the person helping me to book was amazing he did his best to make it a memorable experience & it certainly was that. I would do it again in a heart beat.

El Tour de 4 dias/3 noches con Cuyabeno Wild Life Center estuvo una experiencia increible! Estabamos en el "Dolfin Lodge" que fue un lodge super comodo, con comida deliciosa a cada desayuno, almuerzo y cena! El servicio estuvo perfecto, muy amable y asi disfrutamos mucho de la experiencia en la Amazonia. Las actividades eran muy bien organizadas, tenemos tiempo por prepararnos y tambien descansar. Estar en el medio de la selva con animales y insectos salvajes, apprender de las plantas, de las tradiciones de las communidades, apprender a cocinar el yuca o el cacao, que bonitas experiencias! Recomiendo mucho "Elias" un guia muy talento que tiene un radar en sus orejas y ojos para escuchar y reconocer los animales, pero tambien "Edwin", nuestro piloto del barco. Ambos eran super amables, y conocen muy bien sus trabajos! Muchas gracias a ellos! Estaria interesante que notician en los detalles del tour que esta super dificil de ver a los animales salvajes...que viven lejos, alto en los arboles! Recomiendo de venir con binocularios o una super camara de calidad para observar de la mejor manera los animales. Tambien, tienen que saber que hay la temporada seca que no permite de ver a todos los animales que migran en las regiones con mas agua...de eso les recommiendo de visitar a la selva en temporada de lluvia.

Super séjour. Elias super guide Edwin sur capitaine Très bonne nourriture

I really enjoyed my stay at the lodge. The staff is lovely and facilities are all you need. It feels like home. The tours are great, thanks to the guides Miguel and Jorge. They make big efforts to give you a great authentic experience. The food is also great, particularly for such a remote place. The next time, I will stay longer than 5 days.

Our 3 night, 4 day trip to the Amazon was truly incredible! Cannot recommend Dolphin Lodge enough; the team there are so kind and hardworking, from the drivers of the boats, the kitchen staff, and of course the amazing guides. We were lucky to be guided by Esmerelda, Miguel and Victor. They are all so knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. We saw and did so much in our few days there - the logistics and organisation are fantastic. The food is delicious - you definitely won't go hungry! The groups are small - max. 10 - we had a mix of couples, friends and solo travellers.

We had such an amazing few days in the Amazon! I cannot recommend Dolphin Lodge enough. The guides (Miguel and Esmerelda) are so so knowledgeable and we were so looked after by them over the few days. The food is amazing and the owners and staff are so kind. The motor boat drivers also worked so hard to get us around safe and sound. Thank you all for such a unique and amazing experience.

Experiencia fantástica, con guias expertos, buena comida y un sitio estupende de dónde podíamos ver delfines!

I did 5 days and 4 nights at Cuyabeno Wildlife Center and it was incredible. Elias was a fantastic guide and we got to see a lot of wildlife that I would never ever be able to spot on my own. The food was fantastic and the rooms were very comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to come back and highly recommend it for anyone interested in seeing the Amazon.

This experience was so enjoyable! My guide, Miguel, was so enthusiastic about the jungle and it made my group really enjoy our time. The views, the food, everything - was so amazing. Would recommend!

Our trip to dolphin lodge was amazing! The lodge was extremely comfortable and the food was great. Our guide Alexa was so friendly and knowledgeable and ready to help with anything. The tour was planned to give us the best opportunity to see as much wildlife as possible within the short period we were there.

I had a great experience in the Dolphin Lodge. Seen many animals including monkeys, sloths, caimans and the pink river dolphins. Very good tourguide who knew a lot about the area and the trees and animals.

Just returned from a 5 day experience at Cuyabeno Dolphin Lodge. Everything was fantastic and I highly recommend that you book Dolphin Lodge! The staff were amazing, Elias our guide had excellent english and knowledge of wildlife in the area - everything was organised very well - our rooms were huge and even had hot showers (not that you needed the hot water in the humid reserve!) - The food was a huge surprise - excellent variety and flavours - lots of local and international food and plenty of it - we were never hungry! The communication pre booking with Mike was also fantastic - he answered all the questions I had via whatsapp. As for the animals! Cuyabeno is specially - its not overally touristed and ruined because of it. The animals are truly wild and this makes the experiece special. We saw 4 types of Monkeys, a lot of birds - including Toucan, Maccaw, Woodpecker,giant Heron and beautiful Pygmy Kingfisher, Otters, a sloth, a very sweet pet Capybara on our visit to the local village, plenty of Caiman, spiders, frogs, scorpion, insects! Overall - a highlight of our 6 months in South America. You will not regret booking Dolphin Lodge/Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve.

Like other reviewers before I must admit this experience is no other than absolutely fantastic. The lodge, the isolation in the jungle, the guide Elias, the boatsman, the kitchenstaff, everything simply amazing! Although it was dry season we took the boat every day for tours, the boat was silent! And the nightwalks are very special too. Highly recommended to go here for your own little 5-day retreat without wifi, I loved it.

We had such an amazing time at the Cuyabeno wildlife centre, it went above all expectations. The food, the staff and the activities were amazing. The experience was very well organised and with the help of Mike everything ran smoothly. Our guide Elias was very knowledgeable about all the species of animals that we got the chance to see and could answer every question. I would 100% recommend and shall return in the future!

Our trip was one of the best times of our life. We had a group of 9 and no one was ever left out. Elias was such a good guide he was so knowledgeable I don’t think there was a single question he couldn’t answer. He could spot animals that were so well camouflaged that even after he pointed them out it took us all a few minutes to see what he could see, which meant we saw a lot more animals than we otherwise would have noticed. Mike who organises the trip made sure everything ran so smoothly and the booking process was so quick and smooth and immediate quick response to any questions. Viviana who greeted us as we arrived in the main area was very welcoming and accommodating. The kitchen staff were great, I loved the different juices everyday from fruits I’ve never heard of before they was so good I miss them. The starters, main courses and deserts were delicious and plenty of it. They accommodated to everyone’s needs and made the dishes exciting. Our room was the twin room and the beds were really comfy and came with a mosquito net and the shower was nice and hot. Alexandra was another guide who we got the boat back with and she was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Finally the boat driver did a great job considering the drought the Amazon was having at the time we was there, he didn’t go too fast which meant the boat wasn’t noisy either so that we had an opportunity to spot more wildlife. I hope to come back during rainy season to see some different animals next time and I would recommend this company to anyone.

We had a wonderful time here. The rooms are rustic and (like all the lodges) the water in the bathrooms is pumped straight out of the river. The service and food was fantastic, and the staff worked hard to ensure that we enjoyed our experience. I appreciated that they were able to accommodate with vegan food options.

I recently spent four days in this incredible destination, and I can’t recommend it enough! Our guides were outstanding. Their knowledge of the local flora and fauna was impressive, and they had a knack for spotting wildlife that we would have missed on our own. We saw at least 20 different bird species including plenty of toucans, macaws, and Amazonian kingfisher - and we were also lucky to spot Nyctibius grandis and an harpia eagle. The variety of activities was a highlight, with multiple trips including boat rides, canoeing, day and night hikes, as well as morning and sunset tours. Each experience offered something unique and allowed us to immerse ourselves in the stunning environment. Our accommodations were comfortable and well-maintained, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploration. The food was a delightful surprise, with a different menu every day that showcased local flavors. I particularly appreciated the community tour, which demonstrated a responsible approach to tourism and highlighted the positive relationships with local residents. Four days here flew by, and I wouldn’t have wanted to stay any shorter. This experience truly deserves five stars, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an enriching adventure in nature!

I was very excited to visit Cuyabeno and Dolphin Lodge and it did not disappoint! In fact, the experience surpassed my expectations! There were so many memorable experiences over my five days there, it is difficult to mention just a few. Victor was an incredible guide whose passion for the area and its wildlife was obvious with every activity! His knowledge and respect for the flora and fauna of the region just amazed me every day and allowed me to appreciate its beauty to its fullest! And Victor’s attention and thoughtfulness towards our group, including his concern for our safety, never faltered. He had my complete trust and he gave me confidence to accomplish things I never thought I’d do! The rest of the staff at Dolphin Lodge was always so welcoming and helpful and every meal was so delicious. I appreciated their attention to details, their willingness to answer questions and their kindness. If I had to choose some highlights, they would definitely be the sightings of the pink dolphins and the monkeys, and our nighttime boat and walking tours, where Victor demonstrated his incredible talent for finding wildlife in the dark! It was definitely a life/changing experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Great 4 days, lots of wildlife spotted and Esmerelda and Victor are fantastic and passionate guides!

We had the best 4 days and 3 nights at Cuyabeno Wildlife Centre/ Dolphin Lodge. Everything was seamless from the point we were met at Cuyabeno Bridge. The lodge is extremely comfortable considering it's location. The food was AMAZING and very plentiful. Our guide Miguel was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. All lodge staff were fantastic and friendly too. We saw an abundance of birds, insects and caiman, some monkeys and dolphins!! Would recommend 100%. 🙂

We had a wonderful honeymoon in Cuyabeno thanks to all the staff at Cuyabeno Dolphin Lodge. We were able to experience and admire the jungle in all its splendor. Our guide Victor was excellent, thanks to his vast experience we were able to see a number of animals and learn about them and their habitat; he always made sure we had an unforgettable experience. The staff was always friendly and the food was delicious. We would definitely come back for another excursion!

We have spend 4 days/3 nights at Pink Dolphin Lodge. The whole booking process through Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve was very smooth, communication was great from the beginning. The lodge is in a great location with nice sitting areas outside. Food was good and fresh every day. The rooms were pretty basic and looked a little bit more rustic than on the pictures. Our guide Victor was great. He had a lot of knowledge about all the different plants and animals in the jungle. He spotted so many animals for us. The activities were fun and we learned a lot about the jungle. We would come again! Thanks to the whole team!

Highly recommend booking with Cuyabeno Wildlife Center. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The food was great, with generous portions. Our guide Miguel was brilliant, and got to see loads of animals and swim in the Laguna

Geweldige ervaring in de Dolphin Lodge van het Cuyabeno Wildlife Center! Een oase van rust in het midden van de jungle met een garantie op het spotten van een hele hoop wilde dieren! Topgidsen en geweldig eten! Aanrader.

Muy lindo y cómodo ☺️
