From here you can take an excursion by boat to Braamspunt. On the way, you can see dolphins, observe sea birds, watch 昀椀shermen as they empty their nets and take a walk around Braamspunt, an elongated sandbank at the mouth of the Suriname River. From March to July, sea turtles also come ashore here to lay their eggs. For this, it is also possible to take the excursion at night. During the day, you can round o昀昀 the boat excursion with a visit to Paramaribo city or to Fabian Esajas, a proud beekeeper in Weg naar Zee, who will be happy to let you taste his special Parwa honey from the black mangrove and show you around his passion fruit orchard or coastal protection project. Sutopia Resort is also a good base to visit Peperpot Nature Reserve. You can rent a bicycle and walk through the reserve. A canoe trip is also a possibility. It is located next to Boutique Hotel Peperpot, where you can stay overnight, have a delicious dinner or just drop in for a nice cup of ‘real’ co昀昀ee.
