Wetland Swamptour – Mangrove & Matapica Beach (Long Route) (Suriname)

$131.63

Description

Explore the impressive coastal wetlands on this Wetland Long Route Mangrove Tour. The excursion starts in the village of Johan and Margaretha, where you board small fishing boats towards the vast wetlands. You’ll cruise through open waters, narrow creeks, and a maze of mangroves, formed by the tall stillness roots of white, black, and red mangrove trees.

A maze of mangroves and wildlife

Along the way, the guide will tell fascinating facts about the swamp area and the rich flora and fauna. The area is a birdwatcher’s paradise with hundreds of bird species, including the iconic red-colored ibis, graceful herons, and the unusual crab-eating eagle. In addition, you can spot caimans, capybaras and possibly even an ocelot.

Highlight: Matapica Beach & the Atlantic Ocean

The absolute highlight of this tour is a visit to the vast Matapica Beach. From the beach you have a beautiful panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean. This remote part of Suriname feels almost untouched and becomes extra special when the sun slowly sinks behind the water.

Optional caiman tour (evening)

For those looking for a little more adventure, there is an optional Caiman Tour. During the return trip you glide silently through the darkening water, looking for caimans hidden among the vegetation. An exciting and unique way to experience the swamp area.
