Cardy Adventures is the Paramaribo operator built around bicycles. Its speciality is cycling the former plantation belt of Commewijne, flat polder dams and estate roads across the river from the city, and it also runs Peperpot and boat variants, plus a Galibi sea turtle trip. The office is at Cornelis Jongbawstraat 31, on +597 422518 with WhatsApp on +597 8782968.
Prices on its own site on 21 August 2026: EUR 65 per person for the one-day Peperpot bike tour, EUR 185 for the two-day Commewijne plantation bike tour, and EUR 70 for the one-day Commewijne plantation boat tour. Bikes, guiding and meals are stated as included. Group sizes run from four to fourteen.
Commewijne is genuinely good cycling: it is flat, the traffic is light, and the plantation names on the road signs are the history you came for. This is the operator whose numbers we could actually read off its own page.
Guiana dolphins live in the Suriname River estuary between Leonsberg and Braamspunt, twenty minutes by boat from the city. Six operators sell an afternoon trip from EUR 27.50 to EUR 60, leaving around 16:00 and back after sunset. Sightings are never guaranteed.

Three honest budgets built only from prices we could read at their source, plus a clear list of the costs nobody in Suriname publishes.

Across the river from Paramaribo lies the old plantation belt: flat, close, and the most widely sold day trip in Suriname. What is actually there, whether to go by boat or road, what every operator charges, how to combine it with dolphins, and what nobody publishes about the crossing.
Updated
A workable three-day plan: the UNESCO inner city on foot, a day across the river in Commewijne, and a third day that depends on what you want from Suriname.
