Guyana eco-tour focuses on wildlife and nature with impressive waterfalls and a trip to Sloth Island. Sloth Island Nature Resort is on 160 acres of pristine rainforest along the Essequibo River. An array of birds and wildlife make Sloth Island Nature Resort an ideal destination for birders and holidaymakers. The recent spotting of the Harpy Eagle has catapulted Sloth Island onto the international bird-watching calendar.
From the island, one can access exciting excursions to the Amerindian village of Falmouth, Bartica, Fort Kykoveral (the oldest Dutch fort in Guyana), Baracara Waterfalls, and the rapids of Marshall Falls, among others. Choose from bird watching, nature walks, wildlife viewing, swimming, canoeing, fishing, or just relaxing in a hammock in the shade of the trees.
Sloth Island caters to discerning guests with well-appointed and comfortable rooms and private bathrooms. However, anyone who loves nature will love Sloth Island. Wake up in the mornings to the sounds of nature — parrots, howler monkeys, toucans, Harpy Eagles, and more.
