Wetland Swamptour – Lotus Valley Short Route (Suriname)

Join us on a peaceful and special journey of discovery through the wetlands of Margaret, where nature and culture merge seamlessly. After a short bike ride from Frederiksdorp, board a traditional wooden fishing boat and cruise through quiet waterways with an experienced local guide. As the boat glides silently through the landscape, the guide will share stories about the area, the local culture, and the rich ecosystem that makes this region so special. The Lotus Valley is known for its impressive biodiversity and every trip feels different due to the constant alternation of light, sounds and animal life. Along the way, you will experience the wetlands up close and experience how man and nature have lived together here for generations. A playful and authentic moment during the route is the short disembarkation at a small dam, where you help to pull the boat further, a simple action that makes this experience extra memorable.
