Trip Overview: Scenic Flight & Guided Rainforest Walk
Experience the ultimate Kaieteur Falls Day Tour with Wilderness Explorers. This bucket-list adventure takes you to the world’s tallest single-drop waterfall, offering a seamless day trip from Georgetown. Your journey begins with a scenic flight departing from Eugene F. Correia International Airport (Ogle), soaring over the pristine rainforests and rivers of the Guiana Shield.
Upon landing, you will witness the sheer power of Kaieteur as it plunges 741 feet (226 meters) into the gorge—nearly five times the height of Niagara Falls. An expert local guide will lead you on a nature walk through Kaieteur National Park, where you can spot rare biodiversity like the bright-orange Guianan Cock-of-the-rock, Giant Tank Bromeliads, and the endemic Golden Rocket Frog.
From famous vantage points like Boy Scout View, you will feel the mist and hear the roar of the falls in an intimate setting that few other tours can match.

Itinerary
Guided Nature Walk & Viewpoints Upon landing at the Kaieteur airstrip, you will be greeted by our expert guide for a relaxed nature walk through Kaieteur National Park. The trail is easy to moderate and leads you through the ancient rainforest to three spectacular vantage points: Johnson’s View, Boy Scout View, and Rainbow View.
Each lookout offers a different perspective of the 741-foot drop, allowing you to capture the perfect photo of the falls crashing into the potaro gorge below.
Wildlife Spotting This isn’t just a waterfall tour; it is a biodiversity experience. Your guide will help you spot the park’s famous inhabitants, including the brilliant orange Guianan Cock-of-the-rock nesting in the cave walls.
Look closely inside the giant Tank Bromeliads lining the path to find the tiny, endemic Golden Rocket Frog—a toxic but beautiful species found nowhere else on Earth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Kaieteur Falls is spectacular year-round. The rainy seasons (May-August ) offer the most powerful water flow, often creating the famous “thunder” of the falls. The dry seasons usually provide clearer skies for the scenic flight from Georgetown.
No, swimming is strictly prohibited at Kaieteur Falls due to the powerful currents and height of the drop. If you are looking for a waterfall you can swim in, we recommend our Kaieteur & Orinduik Falls Combo Tour, where you can bathe in the natural jasper pools of Orinduik.
Yes, due to the use of light aircraft (such as the Cessna Grand Caravan) from Eugene F. Correia International Airport (Ogle), passengers may be subject to weight restrictions. Please inform us of your weight at the time of booking so we can arrange the appropriate aircraft balance.
We recommend cool, lightweight clothing, a hat, and comfortable sneakers or hiking boots. It is also advisable to bring insect repellent, sunscreen, and a raincoat or poncho, as rainforest weather can change quickly.

By Yvonne T. August 15, 2024 Seamless and Supportive Tour Experience with Helpful StaffNo real low points for me, but would like to add a comment that if you have difficulty walking, it may not be feasible to do the tour through the park. An aerial view could be recommended. The tour was well organized with excellent coordination between transport from hotel to airport, airport staff, and tour guide staff. Everyone was friendly, polite and informative. I would recommend installing hand rails, or ropes for gripping to assist with climbing in the areas with incline. I would like to comment that Ms. Ross has been extremely helpful in assisting me with organizing this tour. She responded to my queries timely and communicated with me frequently with updates such as driver pick up details.Date of Experience: August 05, 2024

By Megan S. August 15, 2024 Spectacular Falls and Impeccable CoordinationThe falls were spectacular, as expected. Our pilot was kind enough to do a flyby so that everyone on the plane could get a nice view from the air. Our tour guide at the falls was very knowledgeable and pointed out several carnivorous plants, a viper, and a rocket frog. He also shared information about the geology of the area. I was very pleased with the organization and coordination. Jessica went above and beyond to make sure we were able to see the falls during our brief time in Georgetown.Date of Experience: August 08, 2024
