About this trip

Suriname offers diverse freshwater fishing across multiple ecosystems: the Brokopondo Reservoir (one of the largest artificial lakes in South America), interior rivers and coastal estuarine waters. These tours cater to both experienced anglers seeking trophy fish and families or casual fishers wanting a relaxed day on the water.

The standard offering is a full-day fishing tour on Brokopondo Reservoir, targeting peacock bass and piranha. Multi-day expeditions (1 to 7 days) can be customized for specialized target species, including the massive piraíba catfish in remote interior rivers (note: piraíba is not present in Brokopondo Reservoir). Arapaima (locally known as Wakama) are not present in Suriname and can only be targeted on Guyana-based fishing expeditions, which we also arrange.

Highlights

  • Peacock bass on Brokopondo Reservoir, aggressive sport fish averaging 2 to 5 kg, strong fighters on light tackle

  • Piranha fishing, exciting strikes, good for novice anglers and children

  • Brokopondo's flooded forest, thousands of submerged dead tree trunks (bigi udu) create ideal predator habitat

  • Multi-day trophy expeditions available for piraíba catfish (interior rivers, not Brokopondo, 2+ meters, 100+ kg), payara, traíra and trophy peacock bass. Arapaima (Wakama) expeditions arranged in Guyana only.
