This is the Commewijne plantation cycling day out, as sold by Cardy Adventures: cross the river from Paramaribo and ride between the former coffee, cocoa and sugar estates and along the polder dams.

It comes in two lengths. As of 21 August 2026 the operator's own page listed the two-day version, with an overnight in the plantation area, at EUR 185 per person, and a one-day Peperpot ride at EUR 65. Groups run from four to fourteen people.

Cycling Commewijne is a category rather than one company's product — Jenny Tours and others sell their own versions, and independent cyclists cross on the Leonsberg ferry and hire a bike on the other side. We list this one because it is the version whose prices and group sizes are published by the operator itself, which is more than most.

If you do plan to go independently: we have not been able to verify current ferry timings or bike hire rates from a primary source, so do not build a schedule on numbers you find in blog posts.

    Getting around Paramaribo, and getting out of it

    There is no Uber in Paramaribo. What there is: a walkable centre, a state bus network, private minibuses, two car rental brands, river boats and a small-plane airline for the interior.
