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

Discover the impressive coastal swamp during the Wetland Long Route Mangrove Tour, a comprehensive nature experience through one of the most biodiverse areas of Suriname. From Johan and Margaretha, you will board small fishing boats and sail through open waters, narrow creeks and a complex network of mangroves with their characteristic stilt roots. Accompanied by a local guide, you will learn all about the unique ecosystem, where flora and fauna come together in perfect balance. The tour offers a constant variety of landscapes and sounds, so that every bend brings new surprises. The absolute highlight is the visit to the secluded Matapica Beach, where the extensive beach and the Atlantic Ocean create an almost untouched atmosphere. For those seeking extra adventure, the experience can be extended with an evening caiman tour, where you glide silently through the twilight swamp and experience the area in a totally different way.
