About this trip
The standard way between Suriname and French Guiana is overland, since there are no direct flights, and we run it daily in both directions on our own company buses. The Marowijne River crossing is by ferry or pirogue, the privately owned motorized canoes, and we handle the border formalities and immigration stamping at Albina on the Suriname side and Saint-Laurent on the French Guiana side. The USD 450 rate covers up to 3 people in your party, one way, on the shared daily departure. If you would rather have the bus to yourselves on a time that suits you, add the private upgrade. This is a full travel day.

Travel The Guianas is a Destination Management Company and tour operator based in Paramaribo, Suriname. For over two decades we have been the on-the-ground operator for travelers seeking real access to Suriname, Guyana and French Guiana, the three Guianas. We work across three countries, three languages and three currencies, handling everything in-house, from multi-country guided journeys to single day excursions and cruise ship shore programs.
We reach places most operators cannot, fly-in rainforest lodges 240 kilometers from the nearest road, overnight stays in working Maroon communities and Kaieteur Falls by scenic flight. We are also the leading ground handler for expedition cruise lines calling at Suriname. Book a single day out or a full three country expedition, you deal directly with the people who run the operation.
