The five-island itinerary going up Essequibo river has excellent stops are Sloth Island (with swimming opportunities off a sandy bitch) and bathing in mineral-water refreshing waterfalls. The tour agency promised to arrange a taxi for us to go back to the hotel but in the end they could not, which was not helpful as we had a flight to catch and the tour overran by an hour.

The tour guide Jamaal was great and his knowledge was exceptional!
It would have been good to know what we needed to bring before hand and also an advisory regarding older patrons. The staff on the tour were so kind and helpful to my elderly mother and I really appreciated it. Thank you so much!
