Baganara Island Resort           

Essequibo River

Pre-eminent among the 365 islands in the mighty Essequibo River is this wonderful little paradise. 187 acres of lush green foliage and colourful tropical flowers, that will quickly help you forget how "the other half" lives. Five miles south of Bartica, it is the gateway to the unspoilt rainforest of Guyana and the junction where the great Essequibo and Mazaruni River meet.

You could enjoy a 20 minute flight directly to the island from Georgetown, or a picturesque trip of a one hour drive along the coast and one hour by boat from the mouth of the Essequibo. Either way, when you arrive on this truly tranquil paradise you can sit back in your hammock and let your troubles drift away.

This island provides you with the comforts of modern day life; king sized beds, crisp white linen, hot and cold showers. You can sit on your balcony and simply enjoy the view, or take a long walk along our pristine white sand beach as the cool river waters gently lap at its shores.

You can answer the call of the wild along our jungle walk, where you'll find many different species of flora and fauna.  Or you can try your hand at a variety of other outdoor activities including canoeing, fishing, water skiing, beach volleyball, paddle tennis, golf, riding waverunners, or simply sun bathing and swimming.
