Guyana Itinerary 2026

Day-by-day plans for 3, 5, and 7 days — organised to make the most of your time.

Kaieteur & Georgetown Essentials

A focused first look at Guyana — the falls, the capital, and a taste of the interior — designed around a single Kaieteur flight.

Day 1 Arrive Georgetown

Settle in and walk the colonial centre — St George's Cathedral, Stabroek Market, and the sea wall at sunset.

💡 Tip: Confirm your Kaieteur charter the same afternoon — flights depend on weather and group numbers.
Day 2 Kaieteur Falls Day Flight

Early charter flight to Kaieteur, roughly two hours at the falls and surrounding trails, return to Georgetown by early afternoon.

💡 Tip: Book the first flight of the day — cloud typically builds in by midday.
Day 3 Fly to the Rupununi

Domestic flight to Lethem or Karanambu. Afternoon boat trip on the Rupununi River for giant otters and black caiman.

Day 4 Rupununi Wildlife & Savannah

Full day exploring the savannah — giant anteater tracking, birdwatching, and a visit to a local Amerindian community.

Day 5 Return to Georgetown

Morning flight back to Georgetown, afternoon free for the National Museum and last-minute souvenirs before departure.
