Discover Guyana jungle adventures ranging from survival courses and remote expeditions to fishing, wildlife, culture, and river journeys. Whatever we can’t teach you, the jungle will.
Not every Guyana adventure is the same. Some journeys are built around challenge, while others focus on exploration, wildlife, culture, fishing, or learning to live in the rainforest. Choose the path that matches the experience you are seeking.
Indigenous-led jungle survival training for those who want to build practical skills, test themselves and learn how to adapt to life in Guyana’s rainforest.
Remote journeys through rainforest, rivers, mountains and savannah for travellers drawn to genuine exploration far beyond conventional tourism.
Fish remote rivers and wilderness waters for Guyana’s iconic freshwater species while travelling with experienced local and Indigenous guides.
Develop practical bushcraft and forest skills through traditional techniques, hands-on training and knowledge shaped by generations of life in the rainforest.
Discover wildlife, scenery, Indigenous culture and shorter adventures for travellers who want to experience remote Guyana without committing to a full expedition.
Explore upcoming adventures across Guyana, from jungle survival and remote expeditions to fishing, wildlife and hands-on bushcraft experiences.
A 13-day exploratory jungle expedition into Guyana’s South Pakaraima Mountains, following old hunting trails and remote creeks through the Sipariparu watershed to attempt a new approach to Watamung Mountain.
Travel across two dramatically different sides of Guyana’s Rupununi on an 8-day wildlife journey combining open savannah, community conservation, wilderness rivers and remote tropical rainforest.
Spend six days at Saddle Mountain Ranch in Guyana’s South Rupununi, riding across open savannah, searching for giant anteaters, and experiencing life on a remote working ranch. Learn traditional vaquero skills, explore on horseback, and discover a side of Guyana few visitors ever see.
A 14-day Indigenous-led expedition into the Pakaraima Mountains to attempt the ascent of Wokomung Tepui. Fly into Kopinang, move through primary rainforest, carry your own expedition load, and enter one of Guyana’s most remote mountain environments with Patamona guides.
Fly deep into the Pakaraima Mountains for a flexible 3–5 day Patamona-hosted experience in one of Guyana’s most remote mountain villages. Waterfalls, ridgelines, village life, traditional farming, ATV routes, and optional hiking beneath Wokomung.
Six days of expedition-style fishing deep into one of Guyana’s most productive freshwater systems. Mobile river camps, Indigenous fishing guides, low-pressure Amazon waters, and access to fishing grounds most anglers will never reach.
Our adventures are built around small groups, local knowledge and access to places far beyond conventional tourism. The focus is not simply on seeing Guyana, but on travelling through it with the people who know these landscapes best.
Travel with Indigenous guides, trackers, boat captains and instructors whose knowledge of Guyana’s rivers, forests and remote communities comes from generations of experience.
Our Guyana jungle adventures travel far beyond conventional tourism routes, using rivers, roads, forest trails, and small aircraft to reach remote landscapes few visitors ever experience.
Remote travel is supported by experienced expedition leadership, medical capability, satellite communications, evacuation planning and systems for challenging environments.
Most journeys operate with small groups, creating more flexible travel, closer interaction with guides and communities, and a lighter footprint in remote environments.
Meet the expedition leaders, survival instructors and local guides behind our Guyana jungle adventures. Our team combines Indigenous forest knowledge, professional expedition experience and years spent travelling through Guyana’s rainforest, rivers and remote communities.

Watch creators who joined The Wild Tales for jungle survival training in Guyana and documented the experience from the inside, from learning core skills to living in the rainforest.
Read first-hand experiences from guests who have joined our survival courses, expeditions, fishing trips and other adventures across Guyana.
The Wild Tales offers a range of adventures designed to experience Guyana beyond the usual tourist routes.
Our Jungle Survival Courses combine practical survival training with indigenous knowledge and the opportunity to put your skills to the test in the rainforest. Our Skills & Bushcraft Courses focus more deeply on traditional skills, bushcraft, and expedition training.
For those looking to travel rather than train, our Jungle Expeditions take small teams into some of Guyana’s most remote areas by foot, river, canoe, and 4×4. Our Fishing in Guyana trips range from comfortable lodge-based fishing to remote fishing expeditions targeting some of the country’s iconic freshwater species.
Finally, our Tours in Guyana offer shorter and more flexible adventures for travelers who want to experience the rainforest, wildlife, and indigenous communities without committing to a full expedition.
All experiences are built around small groups, strong local partnerships, and deep knowledge of the environment.
Probably! Our guests come from all over the world and from very different backgrounds. We welcome solo travellers, couples, friends, families, photographers, outdoor professionals, and people simply looking for a very different kind of holiday.
Most of our guests are in their 30s to 60s, but we have welcomed both younger and considerably older adventurers.
You do not need to be a survival expert or experienced expedition traveler. Different trips require different levels of fitness and experience, and we will help you choose something appropriate for you. More than anything, a positive attitude, curiosity, and willingness to adapt go a long way in Guyana’s interior.
We deliberately keep our groups small. Most scheduled courses and expeditions have a maximum of around 10–12 guests, while some of our more specialized expeditions operate with even smaller teams.
Small groups allow our guides to spend more time with each guest, make travelling through remote areas more manageable, and reduce our impact on the communities and environments we visit.
Private trips can be arranged for individuals, couples, families, and groups.
Guyana has extraordinary biodiversity, and depending on where you travel, you may encounter monkeys, macaws, toucans, caimans, giant river otters, tapirs, peccaries, snakes, and countless other species. Guyana is also home to jaguars, giant anteaters, harpy eagles, and many other iconic South American animals.
However, our trips take place in wild environments rather than wildlife parks, so sightings can never be guaranteed. Some of the most memorable encounters happen unexpectedly.
Different regions are also known for different species. If wildlife is one of your main reasons for visiting Guyana, tell us when you inquire, and we can help you choose the most suitable trip.
Guyana is tropical, so you should expect warm temperatures, high humidity, and the possibility of rain throughout the year. Daytime temperatures in the interior are commonly around 29–33°C (84–91°F), although conditions vary considerably between rainforest, savannah, and mountain environments.
The main rainy season typically runs from late April to late August. There can also be a shorter and generally less intense rainy period from early December into early January, although this does not occur consistently every year.
There is no single “best” season for every adventure. Higher river levels during the rainy season can make some remote areas easier to reach by boat, while overland routes can become more difficult because of mud, swollen creeks, and flooding. During the dry season, overland travel is generally easier, but lower water levels can make smaller rivers and creeks more difficult to navigate.
This is one of the reasons we schedule particular expeditions and courses at specific times of year. The season can significantly change both the conditions and character of an adventure in Guyana.
In most cases, yes. We can accommodate many common dietary requirements and allergies if we know about them well in advance.
However, travelling in remote Guyana is different from staying in a hotel. Food availability becomes increasingly limited the further we travel from towns and communities, so certain diets can require additional planning and may not be possible on every expedition.
Please tell us about any dietary requirements or serious food allergies before booking, and we will discuss what can realistically and safely be accommodated.
For Jungle Survival Courses, dietary requirements during the solo phase are a separate consideration because participants may rely partly on naturally available food resources. We will discuss this individually before the course.
Absolutely. Many of the people joining our scheduled courses and expeditions arrive in Guyana alone and meet the rest of their team at the beginning of the trip.
Small-group travel is a big part of what we do, and travelling alone should not prevent you from joining one of our scheduled departures.
If you would rather travel completely privately, many of our tours, fishing trips, and other experiences can also be arranged as private departures.
