Tourist

Do you want to enjoy your holiday in Suriname?

Suriname, as a country, is a real treasure. It is a rainforest in the Amazon. 93% of Suriname's surface is covered in jungle, and we want to keep it that way.

Everyone is invited to come to Suriname and enjoy a holiday, But with the utmost respect for our nature and people.

Paramaribo

Paramaribo is the capital of Suriname, with a population of 240.000 people. Most people who visit Suriname start with a hotel stay in Paramaribo. Various hotels and resorts will welcome you with open arms. And there you will start your first taste of Suriname culture.

Ecotourism

There are various places you can visit deep in the forest of Suriname. But what you will notice is that everywhere there is a lack of Western society facilities, except for mobile phone coverage and WIFI/internet. There is hardly any commerce in the small village, and the facilities available are still small-scale.

The huge benefit of this is that it keeps the rainforest, its wildlife, and nature untouched.

Having a holiday without a lot of luxury in Suriname is very different from having a holiday somewhere. But what you get in return is worth much more. Everyone who has visited Suriname will have new memories for a lifetime.
