Experience the rich history of the thriving coffee plantation Reynsdorp (Bakkie) along the Matapica Creek in Commewijne, Suriname. Relive the plantation’s past on the Bakkie Plantation Tour by Orange Travel, which includes a boat trip, museum visit, a walk through lush gardens, and encounters with descendants of the plantation’s workers.
Highlights/Activities
A picturesque boat trip on the Commewijne River; Exploration of the Bakkie Museum during the tour
Enjoy a tasty local lunch; Guided tour of the project
If you really want to experience a historical trip, I recommend the Bakkie tour! The guides have so much to tell and when you enter the small Bakkie museum, you see the objects found, each with its own story. You can take yourself back to the past for a moment.
