Nariva Swamp Tour
Last verified 15 Aug 2026 · how we verify
Guided walking tour into Bush Bush for red howlers, capuchins and macaws.
This is the guided-walk way into the Nariva Swamp: a licensed operator takes small groups on foot through Bush Bush, where red howler monkeys, white-fronted capuchins and macaws live among giant hardwoods. Because the sanctuary is permit-controlled, booking ahead by phone is the only way in — there is no gate you can turn up at. Wear boots you can soak and bring insect repellent.
