Custom Suriname Herping
Design your own expedition
“The jewel of Amazonian herping”
Suriname is the world’s most forested country and offers an authentic herping and adventure experience few other places can rival.
The combination of incredible diversity, iconic species, remote landscapes and lack of herping pressure creates a true paradise for field herpers and adventurers alike!
Tour Details
Overview
Every person has different objectives when planning a trip. Some will be new to the region and seeking a more general trip to see everything this incredible country has offer!
Others however, may have a more focused plan aimed at attempting to find specific target species such as the Bucket List Three; Bushmaster (Lachesis muta) Emerald tree boa (Corallus caninus) and Green anaconda (Eunectes murinus).

What Our Guests Say
“I went on a solo trip with Matt as my guide around Suriname for a week. This man took care of every detail and even me when I injured myself… as good as my Mom would have! He was an expert in the field and had some of the best jungle search imagery I’ve ever witnessed. He would spot animals from a mile away! Not only did we find a ton of iconic species, he even prepared vegan meals for me even though he is not a vegan, himself. Yes, he was a great guide in every aspect, but also cool as hell. I made not only lifelong memories, but a lifelong friend. You won’t regret going into the field with him! ”
