Guyana Holidays and Tours

Our Guyana holidays take you to South America’s only English-speaking country offering off-the-beaten-path adventures, great Guyana tours.

Guyana is a truly unspoilt and relatively undiscovered paradise, perfect for those with an adventurous spirit. Tours to Guyana can include exploring pristine rainforest or breathtaking savannah bristling with wildlife. The country also boasts untouched Atlantic beaches and a staggering mountain range to the west.

Rainforest and Savannah Guyana holidays

Guyana’s rainforest and savannah are the main draw for the visitor. There are few roads and most journeys are on foot, by boat or small light aircraft. Rustic and remote lodges will serve as a base from which to explore the incredible nature and wildlife. Some will be accessed by boat others by land. Some will be in the middle of the rainforest, others on the plains of the savannah. However, there’s always a big Guyanese welcome awaiting you at the remote eco-lodges and wilderness camps.

Wildlife on Guyana tours and holidays

Guyana is a paradise for those wildlife and bird enthusiast who want to see the fauna in its natural habitat. One can never guarantee a sighting, but the chances are always good on a Guyana wildlife tour.  The Iwokrama rainforest is one of the best places in the world to spot the Jaguar, king of the jungle. The Harpy Eagle, much prized by bird spotters, might be seen in the Kanuku and Iwokrama mountains. And those who visit the Rupununi savannah or Iwokrama rainforest may well spot the Giant Anteater.

The rivers, as well as abundant birdlife, may delight with sightings of Giant River Otters or Black Caiman. The rivers are also home to the Arapaima, the world’s largest scaled freshwater fish.

Whatever your interest in wildlife your Guyana tour will certainly deliver.
