Potential is awesome but it seems the people running this enterprise are a bit confused. There seems to be a mixup here. The property is a research centre for the Iwokrama Forest and region. Great Rangers and super researchers but the Tourism Division lacks direction. Clearly whomever is running this is research biased as the Tourism people are strapped for... More

This is the most amazing place I've ever stayed, the setting is incredible, surrounded by jungle with the river flowing past. There are macaws and parrots flying around, howler monkeys can be heard, sometimes seen. The staff were wonderful, and all the guides were fun and friendly and really knowledgeable, also incredibly skilled spotters. I really hope to go back... More

Lodges were clean and spacious and the location is absolutely fantastic. Service and especially communication with the staff was poor or not existing. We were a group of three and except one other guest the only ones. There was neither an explanation about the place nor the routine of the days of stay. Train and motivate (!!!) your service stuff,... More

The cabins are beautiful and clean, staff attentive and VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE about local wildlife (which is why a person goes there). The Main Lodge (where you eat etc) is beautiful and feels like a tree house. The tours are well planned, as described, and there is plenty of down time. If you are traveling around expecting something like the 4... More

I was there May/June 2011 and I loved it so much that next time I'm taking my entire family. I went solo but still had a memorable time. You must hike up Turtle mountain, it centers you, reminds you of what's important in this life, it was peaceful and I wished I had taken lunch with me so I could... More

I stayed here with a group of 6, we felt as if we had leprosy. No one talked to us, food appalling, guide seemed to only say someting if asked or came across a tree with a notice. Evening caiman search elicited only the information that there are three types of caiman, never tried to find any arborial animals. Turtle... More

I stayed only one night in Iwokrama, but I loved it! For a detailed description of how to get there, see some pictures and so on, you can visit a website I made at: http://traveling-guyana.weebly.com/iwokrama.html More

Lovely resort. A great nature guide, ours was Alex. The accommodations are superb, and they have screens! Very unusual in Guyana. The tours/excursions were superb: Turtle Mountain (an excellent and thrilling sighting of black spider monkeys), an evening river cruise, trips to the butterfly farm (FairView village), petro glyphs, and others. The open air dining room is great. But be... More

My wife and I stayed at Iwokrama after a visit to Surama and before heading south to other ecolodges. We were met by our guide and an assistant who knew when to expect us. Formalities were minimal, the cabin was perfect, especially the veranda and hammocks with a river view for a heat-of-the-day snooze. Meals were unexciting but remember we... More
