Day 1
On Day 1, you'll begin your adventure with a scenic boat ride from Roed en Rust to Baganara Island Resort, a 187-acre private rainforest island nestled in the Essequibo River, just five miles from Bartica. Once known as Thomas Island and later renamed Baganara—an indigenous term—this tranquil retreat has evolved from untouched jungle into a full-service resort since its transformation began in 1989. Upon arrival at 9:30 AM, you'll be greeted with a refreshing drink and a light snack, followed by room check-in. After settling in, enjoy a home-style lunch, then spend the afternoon at your leisure, relaxing or exploring the island. Later, you’ll board a boat to Parrot Island, a nearby spot known for its birdlife. The evening continues with a delicious dinner at the resort, followed—weather permitting—by a beach bonfire, where you can unwind under the stars. You'll spend the night in comfort at Baganara Island Resort.
Day 2
On Day 2, guests can begin their morning with an optional kayaking excursion at 6:30 AM in the calm creek waters for a small fee (1,000 GYD per person). At 7:30 AM, a hearty breakfast will be served, followed by a morning at leisure to relax or explore the island on your own.
