Itinerary

Day 1
Commewijne Dolphin & Plantation boattrip

Program: Dolphin spotting - Museum - Plantations by boat From the center of Paramaribo you have to reach by own occasion at Leonsberg where the boat is ready at 9 am. The first and most important rules are putting on the life jackets. Then we sail in a covered tent boat to the mouth of the Suriname river. Along the way we will spot dolphins in their natural environment. It’s the brackish river dolphins (pink belly dolphins). 


This river dolphin is called “Profosu” in Suriname. It is a small gray dolphin with a usually pink and sometimes white belly. After seeing this we sail into the Commewijne River and visit the old Johan Margaretha, Rust en Werk, and Frederiksdorp plantations. Frederiksdorp is an old coffee plantation and to 1907 headquarter of the District governance. Then remained the seat of a doctor and there was a police station located with a prison. Nowadays the historical heritage of Frederiksdorp consists of a police post with seven houses, all of which are furnished as modern guest accommodation. The prison has been transformed into a restaurant and kitchen. 


On the plantation Frederiksdorp you can enjoy a lunch (lunch is not included in the price) We end the tour with a visit to the Open Air Museum Nieuw Amsterdam. The former Fort New Amsterdam was built after the French invasion in defense of enemy incursions. Then it was used as a prison for long sentences. In the 19-century the fort furnished as an open air museum. In this museum are historic buildings (such as Gunpowder houses), cannons, a light ship

well organized, nice guide, great experience
By Johannes S for Kaieteur & Orinduik on Nov 25, 2024
Truly a phenomenal trip. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Saw some amazing things, stayed in some great places. The level of care and attention that Dronica put into planning my trip and the support she gave me in country was outstanding. I normally organize trips myself ... but ran out of time on this one. Fair to say I couldn't have organised it any better. Every tour, connection and transfer (and there were alot) was done seamlessly. It made for a stress free enjoyable visit.

It was a very long day but a nice way to get a taste of French Guiana. Our guide wasn’t the greatest, but we did receive excellent customer service from Dronica. The market and prison were very interesting. Bring some euros so you can buy snacks at the market.

Ricky is amazing! He took me on a sloth tour, and we also saw monkeys, a big lizard, lots of birds, and trees. He was very knowledgeable about everything, answering all my questions, and incredibly kind and friendly.

The trip was organized with some different parts and with different people/guides. You never know what to expect, but this time we were amazed by the well planned organization and communication! It all came together with a near-perfect timing and we were in the capable hands of the next person. Even with different transportation along the way, car, bus & boat. Everyone knew exactly where we needed to go. We would like to thank Dronica for organizing and Stella, Kenny and Bamo for their time and knowledge! We learned so much about the inland, people and wildlife of Surinam!
