Program

Day 1
After departure from the flat bridge we sail along the Goslar, the harbor and the industrial area of Paramaribo. Along the way we also pass the old plantations of Domburg and Laarwijk, where we stop to briefly explore. The tour then continues for another 1 ½ hours towards Jodensavanna. While sailing we come across places such as White Beach, private beaches, but also the old bauxite industry where remnants of the infrastructure can still be seen. Once we arrive in Jodensavanna, we walk from the almost 200-year-old ceiba (kankantrie) to the ruins of the synagogue and the Jewish and Creole cemetery. It is advisable to wear sturdy shoes for this walk. After our visit to Jodensavanna we sail for lunch to Overbridge, where you can also swim.
