This full-day tour visits Plantation Reynsdorp, locally known as Bakkie, an old coffee plantation along the Warappa Creek in Commewijne. The plantation has been carefully restored by descendants of the original plantation families, who have transformed the grounds into a small resort and a remarkable private museum.

The tour combines river travel through Commewijne's plantation belt with a guided walk through the restored plantation grounds and a visit to Museum Bakkie. The museum holds an unusual collection of original prints and books, including 1st-edition works by Captain John Gabriel Stedman (1796), the illustrator Benoit (1839) and the naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian (1699), all of whom documented Suriname during the 17th and 18th centuries. The collection also includes the original Act of Recognition of Suriname (1975) and the Abolition of Slavery Act signed by Willem III.
