About this tour
Spotting dolphins in Commewijne is definitely a must for lovers of these beautiful animals. You travel by traditional fisherman’s boat and will sail along the mangrove trees to the confluence of the Suriname River and the Commewijne River. Here, we look for dolphins. With a bit of luck, it wonāt be long before you are joined by the dolphins that playfully swim around the boat. The Surinamse dolphin is known for its curious character and is called the āProfusu.ā An interesting fact is that the local boatmen often use upbeat music to catch the attention of the curious and playful dolphins. They come close to the boat and sometimes put on a spectacular show!
Tips:
- What to Wear: Light, breathable clothing, a hat, and sunglasses are recommended to protect against the sun. Donāt forget sunscreen!
- Footwear: Comfortable, non-slip shoes or sandals are ideal, as the boat deck can be a bit wet.
- Bring Binoculars: While dolphins often come close to the boat, binoculars can help you spot them from a distance or catch a glimpse of other wildlife along the riverbanks.
- Capture the Moment: A camera or smartphone with a good zoom is great for photos. Use burst mode to catch their quick movements.
