Suriname Tours & Holidays
Experience the hidden rainforests and diverse cultures of Suriname with our expertly guided tours and holiday packages. Our 15-day Suriname itineraries offer a journey that blends pristine wilderness, colonial heritage, and unique Maroon communities in South America’s smallest and least-known country.

Suriname is one of those countries that very few people have heard of and even fewer could point to on a map. Located on the north-eastern coast of South America, the Republic of Suriname, to give it its full title, is a wildlife paradise with much of the country covered in rain forest.
With French Guiana to the east and Guyana to the west, Suriname is the smallest country in South America with a population close to 600,000 most of who live close to the capital Paramaribo or along the northern Atlantic coast.
A former Dutch colony, (it was once known as Dutch Guiana) Suriname is now a melting pot of different cultures. With a population made up from the descendants of escaped African slaves, Dutch and British colonialists, Indian, Indonesian and Chinese labourers and indigenous Amerindians you will find a vibrant culture and a people proud of their history.
Suriname offers something genuinely rare in modern travel—authentic exploration of territories that remain truly off the beaten track. While neighboring Brazil sees millions of tourists and even Guyana is gaining recognition, Suriname stays wonderfully under the radar. This means pristine rainforests without tourist infrastructure, villages where traditional life continues unchanged by outside influences, and wildlife habitats undisturbed by human crowds. The country’s cultural diversity creates fascinating contrasts—one day you’re exploring Dutch colonial architecture in Paramaribo (a UNESCO World Heritage site), the next you’re staying in remote Maroon villages where African drums echo through the jungle. Our small group tours keep things intimate with just 12 people maximum, and we offer both escorted (with dedicated UK tour leader) and unescorted (local guides only) options to match your travel style and budget.
What Makes Our Suriname Holidays Different
Suriname offers a rare sense of remoteness. Much of the interior is accessible only by river, and encounters with wildlife and local communities happen naturally, not as staged experiences. Travel here feels quiet, unrushed, and genuinely off the beaten path.
Culturally, the country is diverse and welcoming. Visits to Maroon and Amerindian communities, as well as time in Paramaribo, provide real insight into daily life and traditions rather than organised performances.
Tours can be either fully escorted with a UK tour leader or guided locally at each stage, allowing flexibility based on travel style and budget.
Some itineraries also include neighbouring Guyana and French Guiana, offering a broader regional perspective and highlighting how different histories shaped similar rainforest landscapes.
