Tour Information

Day 1

The Galibi Tour begins in the morning with a bus ride along the East-West connection towards Albina. Throughout the journey, our experienced guide shares interesting insights into the history and landmarks. A stop at Stolkertsijver is made for a sandwich and a drink. In Albina, by mid-morning, the journey continues by boat. Depending on the tide, the trip to Christiaankondre takes approximately 1½ hours. After lunch, you’ll explore the village on foot, immersing yourself in the rich culture of the welcoming local indigenous population.

 

During the turtle nesting season (Feb-Jul), depending on the tide, you’ll sail to Babusanti for a unique experience: observing sea turtles laying their eggs on the beach at night. This special excursion takes place either after dinner or before sunrise, depending on the tides.

 

Day 2

The Galibi Tour concludes on the last day with a beach walk and a refreshing dip in the river, guided by our expert. Following these activities, we return to Albina by boat. Along the way, we stop in St. Laurent, where you catch a glimpse of the tropical part of France. Optionally, a tour of the local prison (bagno) is available. A delicious lunch awaits you in Albina, after which you continue by bus to Paramaribo.

A 3-day Tour Galibi is possible.
