Six carefully crafted stays — each rooted in a distinct geographic zone, with its own unique experiences and local food culture. Every detail organised for you.
The best first immersion
Cayenne, Cacao village, Kaw Marshes, Kourou and the Salvation Islands — the very best of French Guiana within 90 minutes of the capital. Perfect first-timers' stay.
Nature, river & multicultural villages
Kaw Marshes, Saint-Laurent, Maroni canoe trip, Kali'na Amerindian village and leatherback turtle nesting — French Guiana's full cultural and natural richness.
The end of the world, by light aircraft

French Guiana made accessible for children
Wildlife park, caimans, space rockets and Salvation Islands monkeys — powerful experiences designed for all ages, no physical strain required.
The most immersive canoe descent
From Maripasoula to Saint-Laurent by dugout canoe over 4 days — Bushinengué villages, mythical rapids, hammock nights. The most authentic experience in French Guiana.
The only package that crosses into Brazil
Saint-Georges, Saut Maripa rapids, Oiapoque on the Brazilian side, Inselbergs and the Approuague river — a zone completely absent from competing offers.
