Getting to Guyana and Suriname on name-brand international carriers is relatively simple from North America and Europe. By contrast, North Americans will have trouble setting foot in French Guiana (possibly explaining why only a handful arrive each year) as flights to French Guiana are exclusively through Paris and the French Caribbean. If you’re coming in from Paris, you won’t even have to show a passport: this is a domestic flight! (have it with you, of course, just in case).
Regardless of your itinerary, let us know how we can help with your bookings. No one in this part of the world knows how to navigate the relatively unknown routes and airlines here on the Wild Coast better than we do.
