Dolphin Spotting on the Suriname River – A Magical Encounter with Nature

Just a short drive from Paramaribo lies one of Suriname’s most charming experiences — an afternoon on the river in search of pink-bellied dolphins. These playful creatures, known locally as “Profosu,” glide gracefully alongside the boat, often surfacing in pairs or small groups as the sun sparkles on the water.

The tour typically begins where the Suriname and Commewijne Rivers meet, offering not only dolphin sightings but also glimpses of mangroves, small fishing villages, and the tranquil beauty of Suriname’s waterways. As the day winds down, many tours include a stop at a riverside pier to enjoy refreshments while watching the sunset paint the sky in gold and pink.

It’s peaceful, photogenic, and uniquely Surinamese — the perfect blend of nature and relaxation that every traveler should experience.
