A pristine, untouched natural setting
The highlight of the Kaieteur Falls overnight trip is, of course, the waterfall itself. Beyond its sheer height and power, Kaieteur Falls is unique because it is surrounded by an unspoiled rainforest, free from modern infrastructure. This natural setting makes it one of the most beautiful and unspoiled waterfalls in the world, allowing visitors to enjoy a peaceful, immersive experience without crowds or urban noise.
Sunset views and a night under the stars
One of the most magical moments of this tour is watching the sun set over Kaieteur Falls. As the daylight fades, the falls glow in golden hues, creating a scene that feels almost otherworldly. This is an ideal time for photographers, as the soft light enhances the beauty of the falls.
After sunset, you’ll settle in for a night beneath the stars:
- Stargazing opportunities far from city lights, with a dazzling view of the night sky.
- Natural sounds of the rainforest creating a calming, peaceful atmosphere.
- Comfortable sleeping arrangements under a canopy of stars, perfect for a restful night’s sleep.

Discover the legend and history of Kaieteur Falls
The name Kaieteur honours Chief Kai, a legendary figure from the Patamona tribe. According to local folklore, Chief Kai sacrificed himself by canoeing over the falls to protect his people from invading forces. This act of bravery and selflessness has cemented Kai’s name in local legend, and today, Kaieteur Falls stands as a symbol of resilience and cultural pride for the people of Guyana.

- Protected since 1929 as one of Latin America’s first national parks.
- Biodiversity hotspot, with rare species of plants and animals.
