Plantation Bakkie Commewijne Day Trip

The day tour to Reynsdorp, better known as Bakkie, takes you to one of the most authentic former coffee plantations in Suriname, located along the Matapica Creek in the Commewijne district. This historic place was once a thriving plantation and has been carefully transformed into a small-scale and attractive resort by descendants of the original owners. During this experience, you will be introduced to the rich past of the plantation, where history and nature come together. A special part of the visit is the Museum Bakkie, which was created after valuable historical artifacts were found during the excavation of the Warappa Creek. As you stroll around the grounds and visit the museum, you will uniquely relive the life and stories of a bygone era, surrounded by tranquility, greenery and cultural heritage.
