This late-afternoon boat tour on the Suriname River offers observation opportunities for the Guiana dolphin (Sotalia guianensis), locally known as the "pink belly dolphin" for the pinkish flush of its underside. The tour departs from Leonsberg pier just outside Paramaribo on a traditional Surinamese tent boat (covered wooden vessel), ideal for stable wildlife viewing. Late-afternoon timing aligns with peak dolphin activity at the river mouth.

The tour is short, scenic and family-friendly. Round-trip transportation between your Paramaribo accommodation and Leonsberg pier is not included by default but can be added at booking.
