    (Translated by Google) Did a day trip to Brownsberg through Orange Travel and went to Anaula resort for three days and have to say that it was all well organized. Both the communication with the employees of Orange travel and the tours were well organized. The guides who tell about all the flora and fauna during the tours were very experienced and therefore felt very safe. Orange travel is definitely recommended and will definitely book a tour with them for the next time. (Original) Heb via Orange Travel een dagtocht gedaan naar Brownsberg en ben voor drie dagen naar Anaula resort geweest en moet zeggen dat het allemaal top geregeld was. Zowel de communicatie met de medewerkers van Orange travel als de tours waren top geregeld. Ook de gidsen die vertellen over alle flora en fauna tijdens de tochten waren erg ervaren en voelde me dus erg veilig. Orange travel is zeker een aanrader en zal voor de volgende keer weer zeker een tour bij hun boeken.

    I joined the Day Trip to Brownsberg Plus, it's such a great experience, the tour guide is friendly, and share the culture and history on the way, the breakfast and lunch are delicious, much better than my expectation, during the hiking, I saw butterflies, frags, monkeys, and waterfall....etc. I love the rain forest, alive vibration, highly recommend Orange Travel. Enjoy Suriname!

    Experienced multiple tours with Orange (warappa creek & brownsberg plus). Always punctual & 5 minutes early (which is not common over here 😉) they deliver what they promise/sell!

    We spent a week in Suriname/Paramaribo and, thanks to Orange Travel, we had an amazing experience. We did 5 tours/trips with/through them and they were all excellent: Paramaribo City Tour by Bus, Dolphin/Sunset Tour, Brownsberg Nature Park, Bakkie Museum (a must see!) and Culture Markets. Randy and Elton are excellent guides. Jacqueline (Bakkie tour) is also outstanding. All very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and professional. And Shanifa in the office was amazing. I sent a WhatsApp message on a Saturday evening US time inquiring about tour options and she answered me (at 11:00 PM Suriname time)! On top of that, I left behind personal belongings in the vehicle after a tour - twice!!! And both times she/their office located the items and arranged to have them returned to me. They went way above and beyond. Highly recommend!

    (Translated by Google) Tour to Brownsberg done to Irene waterfall. Irene would take 2 hours out. And 2 hours back. Walked 4.5 hours anyway. It is a tough walk. Recommended: at least 3 bottles of water pp and water shoes. Not last, but there may be sharp stones. Do you have asthma o.i.d .: take your puff with you. Full day program. Tiring too. The drive there is also quite bumpy and an experience (last 14 km). Nice trip; cheap expensive. In general, excursions in Sur seem too expensive. I miss a reward system; discount when purchasing multiple excursions. (Original) Tour naar Brownsberg gedaan naar Irene waterval. Irene zou 2 uur duren, heen. En 2 uur terug. Toch 4,5 uur gelopen. Het is een pittige wandeling. Aan te raden: minstens 3 flesjes water pp en waterschoenen. Laatste niet perse, maar er kunnen scherpe steentjes liggen. Heb je astma o.i.d.: neem je puf mee. Dagvullend programma. Ook vermoeiend. De rit erheen is ook aardig hobbelig en een belevenis (laatste 14 km). Leuke trip; goedkoop/duur. Over het algemeen lijken excursies in Sur te duur. Ik mis een beloningssysteem; korting bij het afnemen v meerdere excursies.

    They don't run the tours, they are just an agent, but they were well organized and helpful. They have an office right in front of the Torarica Hotel in the center of town and they have a good website with pictures and good thorough descriptions. I showed up at 4:00 to sign up for the turtle tour that I thought left at 7:00 PM, but I had misunderstood and it left at 5:00 PM. They were very good at getting me signed up quickly, explaining everything, and getting me a cheap ride to the dock in time. The tour to see giant leatherback turtles lay their eggs was a great experience. Nice boat ride from town, decent meal on the boat after arriving, then walking the beach at night to view the turtles with a nature expert (he had a PhD). We tracked a turtle with his night vision goggles and then he turned on a red light (other colors blind the turtles) so we could watch her lay and cover her eggs. Everyone I was with liked the experience. Not everyone had signed up with Orange, so there are other options, but they are a good one.

    We had a great experience. Best service when we asked Orange travel to organize our family vacation trips to the interior. Thank you Randy (Orange guide) for giving us an unforgettable experience in Suriname.

    I went on a Bakkie tour with Orange Travel. The service was really great and fast. Everything was on time on the tour, miss Jacqueline knows her history very well. Bas and Masja were also very welcoming on their plantation. We received a welcoming drink, delicious local lunch🤩 and a sweet local snack! All the history at the Bakkie Museum were very interesting! Definitely a fantastic historical trip. 🍃

    The tour was good. What could be improved: guests should not be pushed to pay by bank transfer less than 48 hours before the tour. Sometimes, these transfers take long and I was afraid that the money will not arrive on time. Communication with Orange Travel was good, though.

    Orange Travel, and in particular Shanifa, were outstanding in providing me tour options while in Suriname and delivered top quality tours. Their guides were knowledgeable, courteous and fun. I did 3 tours while there (Frederiksdorp Plantation tour, Paramaribo City Tour and a day trip to French Guiana). All were excellent! I highly recommend Orange Travel for anyone visiting Suriname.

    I did the sea turtles / dolphins tour and we saw many beautiful animals. Our guide, Daniel, knows a ton about these animals and is very respectful with the environment, striving to use one-use plastic, and teaching everyone how to observe without disturbing the animals. If I come back to Suriname, I'll take this tour again.

    Janice, Shanifa and Xiara were amazingly helpful in answering all my queries when in uk and at their office in Paramaribo. We did the dolphin tour, Freiburg and Kabalebo trips with them and everything went super-smoothly. The main payments were through their DeVries Euro account and be reassured - this was also perfect. We finished by doing the bike tour of Peperpot with the excellent Elton as our English speaking guide. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

    We did the dolphin tour at night. Very easy to communicate the details over whatsapp. Everyone was timely and informative. Our boat driver was well informed with how to see the dolphins. Unforgettable experience!

    Booked the Commewijne river cruise, and enjoyed the tour. Friendly guide who took care of us (water, chips, snacks), and even provided us with a taxi. Our hotel was just next door to the Orange Travel office, but nevertheless we still had to go to the pier ourselves.

    I did 4 trips with Orange Travel. Fredberg, Jaw Jaw, Dolphin Spotting and kayaking at Pepperpot. All were well organised and good fun. I felt I learnt a lot as well as enjoying the trips. Would have liked to have tried their other trips but time ran out.

    I did the Commewijne River Cruise Day Tour in April 2022 and it was fantastic. Booking a tour was simple- Orange Tours were very well organised and responsive, and the tour was superb. My guide was very knowledgeable, fun and tailored the experience to our group. An amazing day trip centred around the breezy river (such a relief from the heat!) - and we also saw the pink dolphins!

  • 3/5 Jesper B. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Wide range but ultimately little available. The employee was very friendly but booking is rather cumbersome (tip: use their website). The tours are pricey (but they are almost everywhere in Paramaribo) but the booked tour (Commewijne river cruise with guide Lendy) was very good, both in terms of content and care (lunch, drinks, snacks). (Original) Ruim aanbod maar uiteindelijk weinig beschikbaar. De medewerkster was zeer vriendelijk maar het boeken gaat nogal omslachtig (tip: gebruik hun website). De tours zijn prijzig (maar dat zijn ze bijna overal in Paramaribo) maar de geboekte tour (Commewijne river cruise met gids Lendy) was zeer goed, zowel qua inhoud als verzorging (lunch, drinken, snacks).

    (Translated by Google) A recommended day tour from tour operator Orange Travel! Commewijne River Cruise, January 7, 2016 The day tour takes you past the Rust en Werk and Frederiksdorp plantations. Rust en Werk has grown into a village with a primary school and a small one outpatient clinic. Little remains of the original plantation. As soon as you walk up the jetty the guide starts his monotonous story until you get back to it the tent boat is back. A number of facets of the tour that appealed to me: The use of nature for medication, the retention of a land turtle and a young caiman and the delicious ice cream offered. It was as if the guide had to pay for everything himself and begged for money for it amenities of the village. Soato soup and a drink were offered at the Frederiksdorp plantation. This plantation is well maintained and gives you a good impression of the design of a plantation. There was enough time to see everything. Fort New Amsterdam was then visited. We recommend your energy this day to distribute well and to take drinks with you. The fort covers a large area. The size, the original buildings and the strategic location are impressive. The content / exhibition in the Kruithuis, prisons and other shelters are not applicable for the original purpose of the fort. The last part of the tours was about spotting dolphins. The boatswain took his time and slowly and quietly passed the groups of dolphins. Photographing the dolphins is not easy, but so beautiful about a piece of nature to experience. The trip by tent boat to the various accommodations is wonderful: The sun, the wind and the beautiful view! A nice varied tour. (Original) Een aan te raden dagtour van touroperator Orange Travel! Commewijne River Cruise, 7 januari 2016 De dagtour leidt je langs de plantages Rust en Werk en Frederiksdorp. Rust en Werk is uitgegroeid tot een dorp met een basisschool en een kleine nog niet ingerichte polikliniek. Er is weinig over van de oorspronkelijke plantage. Zodra je de steiger oploopt begint de gids zijn monotone verhaal totdat je weer bij de tentboot terug bent. Een aantal facetten van de rondleiding die mij aanspraken: Het gebruik van de natuur voor medicatie, het vasthouden van een landschildpad en een jonge kaaiman en de heerlijke aangeboden ijsjes. Het was alsof de gids alles zelf moest bekostigen en bedelde opzichtig om geld voor voorzieningen van het dorp. Op plantage Frederiksdorp werd soato soup aangeboden en een drankje. Deze plantage is netjes onderhouden en geeft je een goede indruk van de opzet van een plantage. Er was voldoende tijd om alles te bezichtigen. Vervolgens werd fort Nieuw Amsterdam aangedaan. Het is raadzaam je energie deze dag goed te verdelen en drinken mee te nemen. Het fort bestrijkt een groot oppervlakte. De grootte, de oorspronkelijke gebouwen en de strategische plek zijn indrukwekkend. De invulling/ tentoonstelling in het kruithuis, gevangenissen en andere onderkomens zijn niet toepasselijk voor de oorspronkelijke doelstelling van het fort. Het laatste onderdeel van de tours betrof het spotten van dolfijnen. De bootsman nam de tijd en voer langzaam en stilletjes langs de groepjes dolfijnen. Fotograferen van de dolfijnen valt niet mee, maar zo mooi om een stukje natuur te mogen beleven. De vaartocht met de tentboot naar de verschillende accommodaties is heerlijk: De zon, de wind en het mooie uitzicht! Een mooie gevarieerde tour.

    (Translated by Google) We had airline tickets ourselves. Have our entire domestic program planned and arranged together via Orange. All tours were organized down to the last detail with very helpful leaders, the communication with and accessibility of Orange was great. Absolutely recommended if you do not want to join a group tour from the Netherlands. (Original) We hadden zelf vliegtickets. Via Orange ons hele binnenlandse programma aan elkaar laten plannen en regelen. Alle tours waren tot in de puntjes georganiseerd met zeer behulpzame leaders, de communicatie met en bereikbaarheid van Orange was top. Absoluut aan te raden voor als je niet vanuit Nederland met een groepsreis mee wilt gaan.

    Whereas this travel agency is rather recommanded, we had a very bad experience with it. We planed to go to Brownsberg with them. They picked up us on time in a small, old coach with no air conditionning and slick tires. We asked to the manager weither it was necessary to bring food for lunch. He answered that it was up to us as there was a restaurant in the park where lunch was possible and he provided us with the expected price for the meal. We decided not to bring sandwiches with us as we were just arriving in Paramaribo and had no time to prepare lunch. Unfortunately, once arrived in Brownsberg, the retaurant was closed apparently for a long time what has been confirmed to us by a surinamese friend that we questioned afterwards. The trail to very small and disappointing falls (dry season) was stoned, difficult and tiring and we had to walk on it durin 2 hours with no food but snacks brought by the guide. Same story the day after during a cruise on the river for dolphin seeing: lunch was not organized and restaurant closed. This agency is not professional. No clear and fair information is provided to the clients. To be avoided

    (Translated by Google) Good tour operator and travel advice. We have booked several tours here and have been able to rent a car. When my glasses were left in the car we could pick them up the next day (instead of at the car company). Moderately priced and very friendly staff. (Original) Goede touroperator en reisadviezen. We hebben hier meerdere toertjes geboekt en een auto kunnen huren. Toen mijn bril in de auto was blijven liggen konden we die hier de volgende dag afhalen (ipv bij het autobedrijf). Schappelijk geprijsd en zeer vriendelijk personeel.

  • 4/5 Hermes van A. 4 years ago on Google
    We booked a tour to Bigi Pan (Stephanie's Lodge) and small SUV rental via Orange Travel. Communication was quick and accurate. Payment can be made to a Dutch bank account which is handy for Dutch travellers and avoids money transfer fees. The car rental was executed by Dcars in the Frederik Derbystraat. We found this out fairly late and it was a bit far from our hotel, in hindsight it would have been better to know this earlier. Orange Travel obsessed a lot about the car return on early Sunday morning when we were coming from Groningen - we would have to do this at an hotel with a 24x7 reception. In practice however Dcars allowed us to park the car at their premises and drop the key in a box. Knowing this in advance would have saved us a small concern. Otherwise, the trip to Bigi Pan went as expected (fabulous) and the small SUV we rented, a Pajero, was very old but in quite good shape and served us well. Overall we can recommend Orange Travel.

    Orange Travel has a Dutch bank account where you can transfer money quickly and easily. We went on an excursion with various tour operators, but we had the best experiences with Orange Travel. Simply because of their fast service, their punctuality and their professional guides.
