What guests say

“The river was amazing, fish were biting and the drinks were cold! 10/10 fishing charter. Tour guide is very knowledgable. Spotting the National Bird of Guyana (Canje Pheasant/Hoatzin) and a few monkeys was also quite an experience. Will definitely be repeating again in the future!”

“Had a great time fishing with Dillon for piranhas today. Safe operation, learned some better fishing skills and just a nice guy. Highly recommend BA for Guyana fishing.”

“As soon as we set off on the river I saw macaw and howler monkeys. In total I saw 4 types of monkey and 2 sloths because of his trained eye. I wanted to catch tarpon — I hooked 5 fish the first morning. We caught huge piranha which we cooked over an open fire at camp. An unforgettable experience.”

“After traveling with Dillon a few times on the Canje and Berbice Rivers, time for a new adventure. Due to low water, we saw many caimans resting on the river banks; also hawks, kingfishers, Canje Pheasants, vultures and even some Jabirus. We did very good on black-belly piranha fishing. Keep on going Dillon!”
