Interesting to see all the graves and ruins, but I liked it the most because it was so calm and peaceful there.
I highly recommend this tour with Marina daCosta Tours with Flair-- to Jodenne Savanne in suriname. It is well worth the reasonalbe price. A full day with a boat trip, many delicious snacks, lunch, and Marina is so wellinfomred adn also enthusiastic abou the history of the Jodenne Savanne and the old Jewish cemeteries
She is from one of the oldest Jewish families in Suriname so the trip is a very personal experience. It is highly enjoyable, relaxing, and well organized. I highly recommend this day trip.
Though there are an infinite number of tours to choose from, Marina DaCosta is the most culturally engaging guide we found in our search. You can see she is personally motivated and enthusiastic about Jewish history in Suriname. This makes her tour a lot more valuable. It gives context to ruins, names, and sites and it makes her willing to do more for you to see and enjoy all that the area has to offer.
It was important for me to walk the ground where some of the first settlers in Suriname lived. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful. I appreciated the informative panels on the site. The area would benefit from environmentally friendly rest room and recreational space.
Marina Da Costa offers a great day trip to Joden Savannah. Her family is steeped in Jewish Surinamese history so she is the ideal person to have you show around. First, by car to Overbridge, then a lovely trip on the river, a visit to her family plantation and then a walk around Joden Savannah. She is enthusiastic, interesting and entertaining- definitely worth your while!
