A platform
born from a gap.

French Guiana is one of the most extraordinary destinations in the world. Yet it remains invisible on the international tourism scene. This paradox is what started everything.

"

French Guiana struck me from the very first glance. A forest that goes on forever, peoples who have survived everything, rockets breaking through the sky from the jungle. And yet — nobody was really talking about it. Nobody was showing it the way it deserved to be shown.

Our story

Why
this project exists.

Looking at the tourism landscape of French Guiana, one thing is clear: the offering is fragmented, barely visible internationally, and no platform provides a complete experience — from inspiration to booking — dedicated exclusively to this exceptional territory.

On one side, local institutions like the CTIG doing remarkable work but with limited resources and little focus on foreign markets. On the other, global generalist platforms (Booking, TripAdvisor, GetYourGuide) that devote only a handful of thin listings to French Guiana.

In between: a gap. A gap that Discover French Guiana was created to fill.

Our commitments

Tourism that
does good.

🌿

Eco-responsibility

All our partners commit to respecting a strict environmental charter. No activity will be listed if it presents a risk to the Amazonian ecosystem. Zero greenwashing — every commitment is verified in the field.

  • Signed and verified partner charter
  • Priority given to eco-certified accommodation
  • Group capacity limitations
🤝

Local economy

We work exclusively with Guianese providers — local guides, family lodges, community craftspeople. Every euro spent on our platform stays in French Guiana and directly contributes to the development of the territory.

  • 100% Guianese providers
  • Fair and transparent commission
  • Promotion of community actors
🏛️

Institutional anchoring

We collaborate with the CTIG (Guiana Tourism Committee), the CTG (Territorial Collectivity) and Atout France to embed our approach within the territory's official tourism policy. Our platform complements public action — it does not replace it.

  • Partnership with the CTIG
  • Listed by Atout France
  • Collaboration with the CSG
📖

Authentic content

Every article, every description, every travel story published on the platform is grounded in real field experience. We do not publish content we cannot stand behind. French Guiana deserves better than generic tourist listings.

  • Quality editorial content
  • Testimonials from real travellers
  • Regular information updates
