Plan notes

Useful context before you go

This one-day companion follows the Gum Air flight from Ogle to Paramaribo. The river crossings are overland alternatives, not additional stops on the flight route. The flight takes about an hour; the creator described the overland journey from Georgetown as roughly six hours, including a river crossing. Check current entry requirements, paperwork, fees, flight availability and ferry operations before setting out. At the time of the trip, the creator completed one form to leave Guyana and two to enter Suriname, and reported paying a $60 Suriname entrance fee. Treat that amount as historical, not a current fee.

What is in this plan

Day 1: Ogle to Paramaribo, with overland alternatives

**Flight:** Gum Air's small international service connects Ogle with EAG in about an hour. The 19-seat Beechcraft 1900D was described as loud and cramped, but more direct than the overland route. **Overland alternatives:** From Georgetown, the route runs east to Moleson Creek, where a ferry crosses the Courantyne River to South Drain before the road continues toward Paramaribo. Ferry service had recently been suspended because of technical problems, so check that it is running before relying on…

  1. Eugene F. Correia International AirportEugene F. Correia International Airport, Ogle, Guyana

    Gum Air operates a small number of international flights from Ogle. Allow time for check-in, security and customs, and prepare for departure and arrival paperwork. The creator reported completing one form to leave Guyana and two to enter Suriname, and paying a $60 Suriname entrance fee at the time; check current requirements and fees.

  2. Canawaima Passenger TerminalCanawaima Passenger Terminal, South Drain, Suriname

    This passenger terminal is at South Drain, the Suriname endpoint of the ferry crossing from Moleson Creek in Guyana over the Courantyne River. Service had recently been suspended because of technical problems, so confirm that the ferry is running before planning around the crossing.

  3. Port of AlbinaPort of Albina, Albina, Suriname

    The road from Paramaribo reaches Albina at the Suriname border. There is no bridge over the Maroni River here; travelers continuing through French Guiana need to cross by boat or ferry.

  4. Eduard Alexander Gummels AirportEduard Alexander Gummels Airport, Paramaribo, Suriname

    Gum Air's flight arrives at this newer downtown Paramaribo airport. The creator contrasted it with Zorg en Hoop, which serves domestic flights, and Zandery, the main airport about an hour from town. After landing, passengers on the small flight shared an onward ride; a taxi took the creator to the hotel.

  5. Radisson Hotel ParamariboRadisson Hotel Paramaribo, Domineestraat 39, Paramaribo, Suriname

    A taxi from EAG brought the creator to the hotel. The room had a separate bedroom, bathroom and living room, plus a balcony. The creator said it cost the same as the Courtyard by Marriott from an earlier visit, which had felt basic and poor value.
