Description
Parabello day tour
Quad / ATV or Buggy UTV, Stand Up Paddle Boarding, Tarzan Swing, zipline and more…
Experience the most fun and exciting day tour in Suriname!
Today we take you to Parabello, a true paradise for adventurers. Our trip starts at 8:30 am from the meeting point we send you by e-mail. On arrival you can settle in and enjoy a day full of relaxation and adventure.
This full-day tour includes a variety of activities. The quad and buggy ride is an absolute highlight. Our quads are fully automatic, so you don't have to worry about changing gears. You get 60 to 90 minutes of riding time after a thorough briefing. A driving licence is not required for the quad (it is for the buggy/UTV), but you do have to sign a liability waiver.
Safety is the top priority during the quad ride. It takes you through the old Suralco mines and the jungle, over bauxite and soft white sand, past fallen trees, lianas and muddy trails. Depending on availability and group size you can ride on your own or together.
Lunch is served at 12:00 noon, and snacks and fruit drinks are available all day. The order of the activities may vary depending on group size and participants.
