Have you ever visited the beaches of Suriname? They may not have white sand and turquoise waters, but they offer a wild, untouched coastline hidden behind Suriname’s stunning mangrove forests.

During the extended swamp tour from Plantation Frederiksdorp, we head to the Matapica Beach. The journey begins in the charming village of Johan and Margaretha, where you board authentic fishing boats and sail through a maze of beautiful mangroves. Along the way, the guide shares stories about the rich nature and fascinating history of the wetland area, home to colorful scarlet ibises, elegant herons, and mammals such as jaguars and otters living in this unique landscape.

The highlight of the tour is a visit to the expansive Matapica Beach, offering a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean. Experience the unique beauty of this relatively forgotten part of Suriname as the sun slowly sets over the ocean.

On the way back, we quietly search for caimans that reveal themselves among the water plants and along the shores.

A unique nature experience for adventurers and peace seekers who want to discover Suriname in a different way.
