We saw several dolphins during taking the ferry from Johan en Margaretha and Fort Nieuw Amsterdam. This was not the short ferry trip most people do.

My husband and I went twice: once we got lost and couldn’t find the park, and the second time there was a tree in the road and our car couldn’t make it to the top. We walked the long road up and saw very little wildlife. The THIRD time, we went did a day trip with a guide from Orange tours. It was FANTASTIC! They require a group of at least 4 people. We learned about medicinal plants and saw two types of monkeys, frogs, and snakes! I would absolutely recommend going with a guide so that you know what to look for in the beautiful rainforest. It’s not well marked and extremely easy to get lost if you try to go on your own.

Paramaribo is a superb city to explore the local people in their daily walks of life and the colonial Dutch heritage which made the inner city a UNESCO world heritage, the other side of the coin. It’s a true melting pot of people from various ethnicities! It’s a safe place, based on my experience!
