5-day tours compared
For those who really want to get to know the interior
Five days gives you room to settle into the rhythm of the river: two full days without travelling, time for several excursions and for doing nothing. Danpaati and Pingpe offer their longest standard tour; the Cultural Maroon Trek is a different kind of journey, moving on foot and by korjaal between several villages.

Which one suits you?
Danpaati is the most comfortable and at five days also adds the Tapawatra rapids. Pingpe is the most affordable; the Back-to-Basic version trades comfort for nights in the jungle camp. The Cultural Maroon Trek is the most demanding and the most expensive, but brings you closest to daily life in the Maroon villages.
