Day Trips

The Citytour introduces you to the UNESCO World Heritage wooden architecture of downtown Paramaribo. To explore Suriname’s colonial past, the Commewijne Boottrip takes you along historic rivers to old coffee and cacao plantations. For deeper historical insights, the Jewish Savanna showcases the ruins of the Americas’ oldest Jewish jungle settlement, while the Bakkie Museum offers a highly-rated private collection of plantation-era artifacts along the Commewijne River.

Nature is highly accessible on these tours, starting with the Peperpot by Bike tour through a former plantation turned nature park. You can also experience this ecosystem after dark during the Peperpot Sunset Safari or Peperpot Night Safari to spot nocturnal animals. Out on the water, Dolphins Spotting brings you close to Atlantic brackish-water dolphins, Caimanspotting offers an exciting evening search for reptiles, and the seasonal Seaturtles tour takes you to coastal beaches to witness giant turtles nesting.

To experience local traditions, the Para Community Tour takes you into Indigenous and Maroon villages to learn about their rainforest lifestyles. Further west, the Coronie Heritage Tour explores Suriname’s coconut district, famous for its distinct wooden houses and relaxing atmosphere. For a hands-on cultural experience, the Cooking Workshop teaches you how to prepare authentic, multi-ethnic Surinamese dishes using local spices.

 

For a true taste of the Amazonian interior in a single day, the Brownsberg Daytrip features a rewarding rainforest hike to hidden waterfalls and stunning viewpoints overlooking the massive Brokopondo Reservoir. Alternatively, the Dantabai Daytrip leads you to a popular riverside destination further south, perfect for relaxing near rushing rapids (soelas) surrounded by dense jungle.
