WHY BLACKWATER

Run by the people who actually run the river

Blackwater Adventures was founded by Dillon & Stephanie — a couple who fell in love with Berbice’s rivers and built a company to share them. Dillon guides personally: a licensed Guyana Tourism Authority guide and former paramedic and firefighter who reads the water like a local because he is one.

What adventures say

“From start to finish, everything was well-organized, relaxing, and absolutely beautiful. Dillon, our guide, was truly amazing — his knowledge of the local flora and fauna made the tour not just scenic, but educational and engaging. The sunset over the creek was breathtaking. Our kids had a wonderful time and loved the tubing & wakeboarding!”

“Second tour with Dillon and Blackwater Adventures… even better than I remembered. Fishing, water sports, reptile capture… and just a beautiful day out on Canje Creek with family and friends. Best I have had in Guyana and the region after extensive travels. Highly recommend.”

“Words cannot express how much our experience exceeded our expectations. We saw a manatee, four Canje Pheasants, and then it was time to spot caimans — Dillon got one and she was massive! Safety was his number one priority for the entire day. We can’t wait to go on another adventure with Blackwater Adventures.”
