Kaieteur Falls Day Tour – Scenic Flight and Guided Rainforest Walk
Experience Kaieteur Falls, the world’s tallest single-drop waterfall—an astonishing 741-foot vertical drop, nearly five times the height of Niagara. This unforgettable tour begins with a scenic flight from Georgetown, offering panoramic views of the Guiana Shield’s rainforest, rivers, and escarpments.
As you approach the falls, the sound grows louder—then the view opens: a torrent of water cascading into a mist-filled gorge, framed by dramatic cliffs and thick forest. From the air and the ground, Kaieteur is both immense and intimate.
After landing, a knowledgeable local guide leads a short walk through Kaieteur National Park, home to rare orchids, towering tank bromeliads, and golden rocket frogs found nowhere else on Earth. With luck, you might also glimpse the bright-orange Guianan Cock-of-the-rock, hidden among mossy overhangs and vine-covered ledges.
From Boy Scout View and other natural lookout points, you’ll witness the full force and elegance of the falls—often accompanied by swirling mist and sudden rainbows. Along the way, your guide shares insights into the area’s geology, biodiversity, and the enduring Indigenous stories tied to this sacred landscape.
This trip offers a meaningful encounter with one of South America’s most iconic natural sites—ideal for travelers seeking both scale and serenity.
