Itinéraire du groupe
Georgetown to Parika
Meet at the departure point in central Georgetown for about an hour by air-conditioned coach to Parika, where the boat is waiting.
Fort Island
Once called Flag Island, this was the Dutch seat of government for Essequibo and Demerara. See the Court of Policy from 1752 and Fort Zeelandia, among the earliest brick forts in the country.
Bartica
A busy river town known as the jumping-off point for Guyana's gold and diamond fields. Stroll the main street, browse the shops and take in the waterfront.
Sloth Island Nature Resort (lunch option)
A 160-acre island of rainforest with birdlife, a canopy walkway above the Essequibo and a buffet lunch.
Aruwai White H2O Resort (lunch option)
The alternative: a modern resort on the Mazaruni with a pool and bar for a more relaxed lunch break.
Fort Kyk-Over-Al
The ruins of a Dutch fort from 1616 stand where the Essequibo, Cuyuni and Mazaruni rivers meet. Hear how it served as the colony's early administrative center.
Wel te Vreeden & Baracara Falls
The day winds down with a swim at Baracara Falls in the rainforest, a welcome reward after hours of exploring.

FAQ du voyage
Fly into and out of Cheddi Jagan International Airport (GEO).
Yes. If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure or book pre-tour accommodation with us, your airport arrival transfer is included. If you choose alternative pre-tour accommodation or arrive by another mode of transport, you’ll need to arrange your own arrival transfer.
Our arrival transfers are private to Soca Islands and are organised in groups based on flight times. Sometimes this means a short wait at the airport until other flights arrive.
There are no scheduled activities on the final day, so feel free to book your departure at your own convenience.
We recommend arriving before 3 pm on Day 1 to make it in time for the welcome event. But don’t worry no matter when you land, we’ll have an airport transfer ready for you.
Please Refer to your government’s travel advice or consult your local consulate. Remember, passport and visa requirements can change, so make sure to stay updated.
Excluding alcohol, we suggest budgeting around USD $40.00 per day for extras.
While we’re not medical professionals, we want to help you prepare for a safe and healthy adventure. Here are some tips:
- Consult with a healthcare professional: Schedule an appointment with your travel nurse or doctor at least eight weeks before your adventure to get any necessary vaccines or medications.
- Up-to-date medical advice:
- US residents: Check the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
- UK residents: Visit the NHS Fit For Travel website.
- Australian residents: Refer to the Smart Traveler Health website.
3. Government travel advice:
- US residents: Consult the US Department of State Travel Advice.
- UK residents: Check the FCDO Travel Advice.
- Australian residents: Visit the Smart Traveler website.
4. Medication tips: If you take prescription medication, bring enough to last the entire trip, plus a few extra days in case of delays. Carry a copy of your prescription in case you need to visit a clinic abroad.
We hope this helps you prepare for a safe and enjoyable adventure.
Please keep in mind that our itinerary, activities, and hotels might change. These adjustments could happen with little notice due to factors like availability, weather conditions, seasonal shifts, or other circumstances beyond our control. Rest assured, we always aim to minimise any impact on your experience. Occasionally, we may tweak the itinerary to try out fresh ideas and keep the adventure exciting.
We believe solo travelers shouldn’t have to pay extra to explore the world. That’s why our group trips are designed around shared accommodation and do not include a single supplement. Solo travelers joining our group trips are paired in twin or multi-share rooms with another traveler of the same sex for the duration of the trip.
Some of our Independent trips are structured differently. For these itineraries, solo travelers will need to book at the single occupancy rate.
Tips are not included in the cost of this tour. Remember, tipping is entirely at your discretion and based on what you feel comfortable with.
