Itinerary
The Kaieteur Falls which was first seen by a European on April 29 1870, is situated in the heart of Guyana on the Potaro River, a tributary of the Essequibo. The water of it, one of the world’s natural wonders, flows over a sandstone conglomerate tableland into a deep gorge – a drop of 741 feet or 5 times the height of Niagara Falls.
There are no other falls in the world with the magnitude of the sheer drop existing at Kaieteur. Amerindian legend of the Patamona tribe has it that Kai, one of the tribe’s chiefs (after whom the falls is named), committed self-sacrifice by canoeing himself over the falls.
It was believed this would encourage the Great Spirit Makonaima to save the tribe from being destroyed by the savage Caribishi. It supports a unique microenvironment with Tank Bromeliads, the largest in the world, in which the tiny Golden frog spends its entire life and the rarely seen Guiana Cock- of-the-rock nesting close by. The lucky visitor may also see the famous flights of the Kaieteur Swifts or Makonaima Birds which nest under the vast shelf of rock carved by the centuries of water, hidden behind the eternal curtain of falling water.

By Mariskha R. August 15, 2024 Seamless Booking and Outstanding SupportThis process was so simple and made my life easy. I booked this tour from abroad and emailed Ms. Jessica Ross for several days with questions and concerns and she took each and brought me to best answers even when I landed in Guyana she was kind and helped me through the process of getting to the airport and finding exactly where I needed to go. This was an amazing tour, and working with the staff made the experience even better.Date of Experience: August 08, 2024

By Leslie and Mary E. August 15, 2024 Fantastic First-Time Experience with Exceptional CoordinationMost of the group were in Guyana for the first time and were in awe of Kaieteur and Orinduik Falls and the eco tourism part of the experience. Every aspect of the tour met our expectations. Thanks to Shonnette, Jessica, Antoinette, and everyone else who coordinated to make this tour possible and problem free. We really appreciated your efforts. We had no complaints whatsoever, even with children on the tour - they had a blast.
