A journey through Suriname is about more than just moving from one place to another. It is about the stories behind the wooden facades of Paramaribo, the secrets of medicinal plants in the jungle, and the history hidden along our winding rivers.

I am regularly asked: “Who can truly show me the authentic Suriname?” While there are many options, I only want the best for you. That is why I have curated an exclusive overview of Outstanding Tours & Guides who truly master their craft.
