Guyana Eco-Tour
Enjoy our eco-tour, which focuses on wildlife and nature with a combination of amazing waterfalls and a trip
to Sloth Island. Sloth Island Nature Resort is situated on 160 acres of pristine rainforest along the Essequibo River. A wide array of birds and wildlife make Sloth Island Nature Resort an ideal destination for birders and holiday makers of all levels. 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, the town of 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.
With well-appointed and comfortable rooms and private bathrooms, Sloth Island caters to the discerning guest. 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.
