Common questions

What are the top things to do in Suriname?

Popular options include a jungle or river trip into the interior, birdwatching, visiting Maroon and Indigenous villages, watching leatherback turtles nest at Galibi, and a walking tour of the historic inner city of Paramaribo.

When can you see sea turtles in Suriname?

Leatherback and green turtles nest on the beaches at Galibi roughly from February to August, with the main season around March to July. Tours run by boat from Albina.

Do I need a guide to visit the interior?

For most interior trips, yes. Travel into the rainforest is arranged through tour operators who handle permits, transport, guides and accommodation. Independent travel into the deep interior is difficult and not advised.

How many days do you need to see Suriname?

A week lets you combine Paramaribo with one interior trip, such as a few days at a jungle lodge or a visit to Galibi. Ten days or more allows a longer expedition or a trip to the Brownsberg and Brokopondo area.

Is Suriname good for birdwatching?

Very. The country has more than 700 recorded bird species. Peperpot Nature Park near Paramaribo is an easy place to start, and the interior reserves are home to macaws, toucans and the cock of the rock.
