About this trip

Located in the south, in the Sipaliwini district, we find Sintiadam. In the middle of beautiful and untouched nature we can spot a lot of wildlife! In addition to spotting birds and mammals, we will also look for the reptiles and amphibians that the area is rich at night. This is guaranteed to produce beautiful and unique photos!

Everything is included and if you have any questions or need more information, please let us

know!

Tour

In this tour you will come across all Maroon villages on the Suriname River. At one of the last Maroon villages you will spend the night in the village before continuing up the Gran Rio. Once you have passed the very last villages you enter a real untouched rainforest. Here you can spot all kinds of things along the river, caimans, monkeys and with luck maybe even a giant anaconda or a jaguar! The journey there not only takes you past beautiful villages and untouched rainforest, but it is also a real adventure itself. You have to cross several rapids where you have to get out and tow the boat! Of course, a number of experienced and fit Saramacan boatmen will come along to help you! The journey goes all the way to Sintiadam, a large rapid that spreads over the entire river. You spend the night here in hammocks on an island with a beautiful view of the river. From here you have multiple options to do. You can make hikes through the forest, visit two beautiful inselbergen (granite hills in the forest); the flower mountain and the turtle mountain. Who knows what wildlife you might encounter along the way. There is a breath-taking view from the mountains themselves!

Our trip to Maratakka was fantastic! Everything was excellently organized, and our guide, Mike, played a major role in the trip's success. He went above and beyond to accommodate everyone's wishes. We had the unique opportunity to see amazing animals in their natural habitat, including anacondas, river otters, manatees, toucans, sloths, and many more. Sleeping in nature was an incredible experience. The camp is simple but provides everything you need. A must-do for nature lovers and adventurers!

We absolutely loved this night tour of the park. We saw sloths, monkeys, huge porcupines, owls, tarantulas, snakes, birds etc. The guide was excellent. We'd highly recommend doing this during your stay. even better if you stay at Boutique Hotel Peperpot as it's right next to the park entrance.

Bad organization, good trip - saved by the 2 amazing guides Ash and Marcos (they are the 2 ⭐ of the expedition) The lack of communication before the trip is alarming. The description says that an interview is included to discuss about the details of the trip, but half of the group had none, including myself. Travelling as a lone not-native English speaker woman, I had many questions regarding the organization : physical intensity of the trip, precision about the gear needed (translations I found were inadequate and I was missing crucial items due to that), and also the identity of the guides / their experience on the field. I was the very first to book the trip after having a short chat with the manager/owner Diederik (aka Dick) Lock the 29th January of 2024. As I just said, I had no news since then from neither him, his associate Lieke or anyone else of the crew. I was said that a whatsapp groupchat would be created and when I asked to Mr. Lock when it was going to be set up, he was only saying that there was no rush at that time. So, I was patiently expecting for the interview and the creation of the groupchat to have more news. All the other travelers and I thought he was going to be part of the trip. I randomly learnt it was not going to be the case scrolling instagram at the end of July (what a way to find out an important information of a 4000€ remote expedition....). When I asked for precisions to Mr. Lock, he did offer no apologies for the lack of communicaton and only offered the option to cancel the whole trip. What a customer service I had, after payig that amount of money... Fortunately, with that amount of informations missing (including on the guides side that learned some info, for instance that total load was limited), the mission has been a good time thanks and only thanks to the 2 amazing guides that are Ash and Marcos. The Unlock crew even forget to book the taxi for me to leave Sutopia at the end of the trip. I stayed 1 extra night and they had the memory of me at 22pm the day before I was leaving. Unfortunately they are the only company to offer this type of discovery of Surinam wonderful nature, so it does not let much of a choice. So if you're into going hazardly through remote/no contact nature, I can only advise you to ask for Ash and/or Marcos (the best would be them together as they are a super teeam).

Dear Clémentine Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear that Ash and Marcos helped make the expedition a memorable experience for you, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to them. Regarding communication, we’re sorry to hear that you felt it was lacking before the trip. After our initial meeting over New Year’s, where Dick shared details about the expedition, we continued to provide trip information through brochures and our group chat to keep everyone informed. We also offered the option to cancel at any point if the arrangements did not meet your expectations. Our interview process is mainly for guests we haven’t met before, to ensure they’re a good fit for the group and have the right expectations, especially when signing up online. We make sure that everyone receives all essential information in advance and is welcome to reach out to us at any time. Since we had already spoken with you personally before your booking, an additional interview wasn’t required. Thank you again for your feedback; it’s important to us in maintaining and enhancing our guest experience. If there’s anything more you’d like to discuss, please feel free to contact us directly. We hope you’ll keep in touch and perhaps join us for another adventure in the future. Warm regards, Dick Lock and Lieke Verwoerd

Such an amazing trip! So many cool sights and up close experiences with amazing wildlife.
By Zach P for Kayak Expedition Lucie River on Nov 02, 2024
This tour was amazing! We got to see a green turtle laying eggs on the beach and even a dolphin on the boat trip back. Sandro was an excellent guide who shared knowledge not only about the turtles and local wildlife but the surrounding area and Surniame in general as well. Highly recommend!
