Tour description
From the jetty at Leonsberg on the Suriname River, we sail in a wooden boat to the former coffee plantation Johan & Margaretha. First, we get to know the simple way of life of the people who live here. Many of the people work in Paramaribo.
Before entering the swamp, we will have lunch at one of the local eateries. In a smaller boat, we visit the swamp and marsh vegetation. In this vegetation live many birds, especially herons, shorebirds, but also raptors and ibises. The roots of the mangrove that protrude above the water form a true desert and make the trip very special and spectacular. Depending on the season you may also encounter water lilies and with a little luck caimans. After about 40 minutes of sailing through what looks like a desert of mangrove roots, we arrive at a camp in the middle of the swamp, not far from the Matapica beach at the Atlantic Ocean. We then sail back to Johan & Margaretha and get into a tent boat again.
Op de terugweg naar Leonsberg kun je met een beetje geluk dolfijnen zien zwemmen.
