Itinerary

100% customisable for you

Pack your bags because your Guyana and Barbados itinerary begins today. After relaxing in the airport lounge, board your flight to Guyana via Barbados. The direct flight from London to Bridgetown in Barbados leaves in the morning and takes just under nine hours, arriving mid-afternoon. You then have a relaxed connection time of a couple of hours before the onward two-hour flight to the wonderfully named Ogle Airport, just outside the Guyanese capital Georgetown. On arrival into Ogle Airport this evening, you will be met by a member of our team and transferred 20 minutes by car to your hotel in the capital, where you will be staying for the next two nights. Get a bite to eat in the hotel's restaurant and then head to bed ready for a jam-packed day tomorrow.

After breakfast at your hotel this morning, you will be transferred back to Ogle airport for a short flight to Kaieteur Falls, the world's highest single-drop waterfall and one of the many highlights of your Guyana and Barbados itinerary. The journey is well and truly part of the fun today so soak up the views as you soar over the Demerara and Essequibo Rivers and hundreds of miles of unbroken tropical rainforest to land at Kaieteur Falls, situated in the heart of Guyana on the Potaro River.

At a whopping 740ft-tall, the falls are nearly five times the height of Niagara Falls but, thanks to Guyana's small number of visitors each year, far less busy. When you're not gazing up in awe at the thundering curtain of water, keep your eyes peeled for sightings of some of the world's most extraordinary creatures, many of which call this area home, from the tiny (and rarely spotted) golden rocket frog to the wonderfully named, bright red cock-of-the-rock bird. We can also add on a visit to the nearby Orinduik Falls.

After you've had your fill of natural wonders, board your plane back to Georgetown for a delicious dinner at your hotel before retiring to your room for the night.
