Suriname River and Paramaribo 2025 It was not easy to arrange a trip for two people to Suriname, because we want to avoid large international travel agencies. However, Impressive Suriname helped to make it a success and we are happy about that. Nature around the Suriname River was enchanting and the guides were good. All transportations worked efficiently and the Knini Paati Lodge was even too high for our own standards. There are two things to which we would pay special attention as someone who has travelled extensively in developing countries; payment system and communication: Paying two people using the 'We travel' -system was not possible because it was programmed for one person. In addition, several payment transactions caused unnecessary costs, and the final price was not quite the same as previously promised. When planning the trip, messages were sometimes answered immediately, sometimes not at all. We would have needed more accurate information during the trip as well, e.g. to prepare for the next day and we had to ask for it. Luckily we were within Wifi at these moments! An example of the lack of general information: Since the country has its own currency, it would be good to know in advance where you can exchange money along the route, as such information cannot be found on any public websites.

Great trip well organized

This tour, organized by Impressive Suriname, was excellent. The company organized a pickup at my hotel through a local taxi company which brought me to the pier. Once there, Lendy the boatman met me and 6 other guests, and took us up and down the river. We visited various plantations, saw dolphins, stopped at New Amsterdam and had a delicious Javanese lunch, drove us to the fort and museum, and then returned us back to the pickup spot. My tour also included a return car ride to my hotel. Great value for the amount of fun I had and very informative. Would definitely recommend. Highlight is that we got to see many many dolphins.

Nice private trip we had in Setember/2025 and the minor issues that occurred were resolved quickly without causing any inconvenience. A lot of history (former prison colonies), nature (islands and nature reserves) and advanced technology (space center) can be seen in just a few days, given the small territorial extension and occupation of this French overseas territory. Thank you again, Donica, for all your attention in organizing this trip for us, covering all the main points of this "country".

We visited natural beauties, enjoyed good hotels, and visited interesting sites. Overall, it was a VERY GOOD experience. Many thanks to our agent, DRONIKA, who was very attentive and resolved any issues "online."
