Baganara Island
Baganara Island is a private paradise in Guyana's majestic Essequibo River. Spanning 187 acres of lush rainforest, the island gives a well-suited blend of luxury and untouched nature. It is the convenient place for travelers looking to escape the everyday and enjoy the tranquility of the jungle. Visitors can enjoy golden sandy beaches, swim in the river, or explore the island's trails inhabited by exotic birds and colorful butterflies. For the active, there are opportunities for kayaking and fishing. The resort on the island is known for its first-class hospitality and delicious Guyanese cuisine, often served under the open sky. The island is best reached by boat from the town of Bartica or by charter flight directly to the island's own airstrip. The good time to visit is during the dry season, although the island retains its charm year-round. A visit to Baganara can be excellently combined with excursions to the nearby Marshall Falls.
