What guests 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.”

“We had a mixed group, kids in their early teens up to friends in their early 70’s. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Our captain Dillon was full of knowledge, identifying and explaining fun facts about different animals. Later he helped everyone feel confident learning to fish and swim in the river. Completely recommend.”
