Itinerary

Depart Georgetown and travel across the Demerara Harbor Bridge to Roden Rust where you will board a boat to begin your adventure on the Essequibo River.

The Essequibo River is full of history and culture. It is named after Juan Esquivel, who traveled to America in 1498. The river has 365 islands, some of them unexplored- the most famous one being Fort Island which will be your first stop. Many riverside resorts, including Sloth Island, where you will be having lunch, and Baganara Island Resort, are along the Essequibo River. You will also pay a visit to the small mining town of Bartica and Baracara Falls is the perfect place to get a much-needed massage. Fort Kyk-over-al, a 400-year-old ruin, is the oldest fort established in former Dutch territory.

Return at dusk to Roden Rust for transfer back to Georgetown.
