About this trip

With this expedition we are going to explore the full length of the Lucie river, one of the most pristine rivers in the world. We will prepare our inflatable kayaks and start our 300 km adventure downstream. This expedition is full of impressive rapids, beautiful wildlife, diverse flora and stunning views! We are looking for a team of real adventures with at least a bit of kayak experience. Are you sportive, healthy, flexible and a real nature lover? Join us!

 

We are going with a group of max 6 people and 2 experienced wildlife guides to the Kayser mountains. These mountains are situated in the South of Suriname and only reachable by plane. 

During this expedition we will be dropped by a bushplane on the Kayser airstrip. After arrival we will carefully sort out all our stuff, inflate the kayaks and prepare everything to start our 300km long journey over the Lucie river towards the nearest small amerindian village; Amatopo. Being able to travel such a vast stretch of pristine jungle by a non-motorized boat will make sure that we will see a great amount of wildlife. Making camps alongside the river, catch our own fish and enjoy this pristine jungle.

Most days, we will spend our time on the river in the early morning and late afternoon when the wildlife is active too. During the heat of the day we will look for some shade and have a meal. 

Wildlife

Even though very little people visit this river, it is still known for its huge amount of wildlife. Especially in the dry season when the water is low and most of the wildlife clusters in the vicinity of the river. It is believed some of the best places to see the Surinamese big five: Jaguar, harpy eagle, tapir, giant river otter and green anaconda.


We will travel almost 300 km in 14 days. When we arrive will depend on the water level, how much wildlife we see and how fast we prefer to go. We have no fixed planning, we literally go with the flow until we end up at Amatopo, a small Amerindian village from where we will fly back to Paramaribo.
