Top Suriname Water Tours

Enjoy a relaxing boat trip on the Suriname River. During the tour, we search for playful dolphins and take in a breathtaking sunset. We depart from Leonsberg by traditional tent boat and head toward the confluence of the Suriname and Commewijne Rivers. Dolphins often swim in groups around the boat, making it a wonderful experience to see them in their natural habitat while enjoying a peaceful afternoon on the river. During the tour, you will be served a snack and a drink while admiring the stunning sunset. After approximately three hours, we return to Leonsberg. The tour requires a minimum of three participants to operate. If this minimum is not met, the tour will be cancelled.

From the office, we'll travel along Anton Drachtenweg towards Leonsberg. Along this road, you'll encounter several beautiful homes and it's known as one of Paramaribo's most expensive neighborhoods. We'll depart from Leonsberg by wooden tent boat for Fort Nieuw-Amsterdam, home to the historic open-air museum. Dutch colonists built the fort at this strategic location in 1734 to protect the underlying plantations from the English and French. After this stop, we'll continue to the former Rust and Werk plantation. Here, you'll find a fishing village and the old colonial coffee and sugar plantations. You can experience the simple way of life of the descendants of indentured laborers. The next stop is the beautiful old Frederiksdorp coffee plantation. The buildings have been beautifully restored and now serve as hotel rooms. On the way back, we'll stop at the Johan and Margaretha plantation, which is currently used by local farmers to grow various crops such as cassava, bananas, and peppers.

Take a beautiful historical tour through former plantations in Commewijne and meet the local residents, the descendants of the Javanese and Hindustani immigrants.
