After several days of uncertainty due to the weather, I was finally able to head out to one of Guyana’s natural wonders, Kaieteur Falls, on the final day of my trip!
My day began bright and early in Guyana’s capital, Georgetown, but soon I’d be deep within Kaieteur National Park (which became a national park in 1929) to see the world’s largest single-drop waterfall by volume! It’ 4.5 times higher than Niagara Falls!

We could only get there via a tiny airplane, so we had to weigh ourselves and everything onboard to make sure we weren’t overweight. I was 81 kilos, so I was good! It would take us roughly an hour and 15 minutes to fly to the falls. I couldn’t wait!
While we waited, we had some coconut biscuits for a light breakfast. They were hard and crunchy, but they would have been great with some coffee or chai. I loved the coconut flavor. The falls are so isolated, we had to take some snacks with us.
Roraima Airways would be taking us deep into the jungle. Our plane only seats 8 people, but we also saw a big, state-of-the-art helicopter that they operate. They monitor the weather all the time to make sure the conditions are good for flying.
After a brief delay due to weather conditions, we were ready to fly! I slept for half of the flight. I could glimpse the falls from the air as we made our descent. Then, we arrived at the Kaieteur National Park Center, where they have snacks and sell souvenirs.
Before you head out to the falls, they run down the park rules. Visitors must stay on the established paths, and no swimming/wading is allowed in the Potaro River. All visitors must be accompanied by a guide. There’s no littering or alcohol consumption allowed, and you can’t collect or remove any plants or animals in the park.
You also cannot set fires within the park, and visitors are not allowed to approach the edge of the falls or the gorge. The trails can be hazardous, so you have to be safe.
We found a carnivorous plant called sundew, which is coated in a sticky substance that captures insects. Then, we also saw a golden frog inside a plant, and a beehive. I loved being out in the rainforest. We also saw plants that the indigenous people use for toiletries and a striped plant called a tiger’s stripe.
Our guide also showed us a species of bamboo. As we got closer to the Rainbow Viewpoint, I could hear the water crashing. The falls were spectacular! They were easily the most impressive waterfalls I’d ever seen. We spent about 15 minutes there, just taking photos and admiring the view.
But there was one more viewpoint for us to hike to! We followed the trail through the jungle to Nature Valley View, which is right near the mouth of the falls. It’s so close to the falls and is so amazing!
I drank a bit of fresh water from a nearby stream as we hiked back to the Kaieteur National Park Center. There, they have little figurines of native animals made from a natural latex called balata, which comes from the sap of the bulletwood tree. They shape it into turtles, snakes, parrots, jaguars, armadillos, caiman, manatees, porcupines, and other animals!
I bought one for my daughters and some friends before trying some crunchy fried chana and some smooth and creamy milk fudge. Then, it was time to fly back to Georgetown!
This time, I rode next to the pilot so I could get the best views possible of the falls as we flew off! What an unforgettable experience!

I must say this Guyana series has been the best David has ever done. Stacy did an excellent job showing him around Guyana. It's been educational and informative just delightful.
Thank you ❤
Indeed this is a World Class Waterfall and the best Waterfalls in the World. It is a National Park one of the best in the world.
I flew on that plane with that pilot in 2021 for my 50th Bday. 1st time in 42 years. Born in the US but both parents Guyanese. Smooth flight. I was nervous at first. I also had the same tour guide Simon. 😂 lol. What a coincidence. Awesome experience.
I am a Trinidadian born and raised in Trinidad my parents and my 2 sisters are from Guyana living in Trinidad currently and i just wanted to say that all the Guyanese videos that David has made so far showcasing Guyana was way better than all the Trinidad videos. Your tour guide Stacy did an amazing job taking you all around Guyana and showing us the different types of food and culture and also all the tourist attraction in Guyana. Jason Peru did not showcase Trinidad and Tobago like these Guyanese videos which was very disappointing for me as a Trinidadian. Well done David and Stacy your videos were very entertaining.
Correct these videos made me feel like I myself visited the country lol she focused on all type of foods different cultures and site....
I second that.👏👏👏👏👍👍
Edit: excellent Stacy. Stay safe❤❤
Looking in from the outside it may look so but for us Guyanese she could have done much better, giving credit where it's due she done her best.❤🇬🇾❤🇬🇾❤🇬🇾
Jason did a great job 👏
I honestly dont think she did a good job, she’s so boring
Hats off to Simon, David, Stacey, Chris, Capt. Fidel and Gerry, and everyone else who contributed. They all did a fantastic job! This was not your typical Kaieteur tour video. It was informative and entertaining. David, I love the way you immersed yourself in every experience even while recording. You didn't make the video all about yourself, you showcased what Guyana has to offer.
You guys did justice to our beloved Kaieteur. Well done!
Visit Guyana!😊🇬🇾💯
Thank You for Promoting Guyana Tourism. I wish that more people would visit Guyana and enjoy our beautiful and peaceful Nation. Come To Guyana and enjoy our Culture, hospitality and traditions.

I I have watched it I don't know how many times I kept putting it on replay cause it just went to fast for me. Wanted to keep looking at that beautiful scene!! Thank you for that adventure just amazing . Have a wonderful day ♥♥
One of my the best experiences ever was to visit the mystic kaieteur falls. Sent a shiver trough me just listening to the water before you actually see the falls in it's natural beauty. ❤🇬🇾❤🇬🇾
The quality of your videos is so good. Even when you make sudden movements and shake the camera, it's still so clear.
Also, that is a stunning waterfall. And the tour guide did a great job explaining the sights and sounds of the park and the falls.
The best camera but now I upgraded even better ❤
I love when people visit my homeland! The waterfall is absolutely stunning & David's videos are always 10/10!
Really is the most incredible Water fall as you said David.....for me I would class it as one of the many Wonders of the World....just majestic..heavenly..angelic.....the guide explaining the natural environment. ...Another very informed video on Guyana. Thanks David, safe jpurney.
Yes of course! Always want to be informative ❤
@@Davidsbeenhere yes there is so much to learn just by viewing all your works. keep on.
As a Guyanese it's on my bucket list for sure!! 👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks David.. you did an awesome job. You must experience the Rupununi, Roraima Mountains etc .
Good morning David. Hope you are still enjoying your mini vacation. Just finished watching this and I have to say that that was brave of you to stand so close to the edge with no barriers for protection. I was on pins and needles. First time seeing it that close up. We call those propeller planes 'wind jammers'. And note to Stacy: channa and chick peas are the same. In North America we call it chick peas. Anyway David, glad to see how much you enjoyed your trip to see the Falls. Looking forward to tomorrow's episode. Stay safe🙏🕊️🇹🇹🇨🇦
Hi David, how are you doing? I have been watching you travel the world an enjoying your videos. I'm so happy an proud that you finally visited my country.Thanks you for all you have done .
Wow David I love love love these videos of Guyana…you really did an amazing job !!!
Thank you so much! I love the country 🇬🇾
One of the best tour of Guyana videos.
Thank you for this, it’s brought back some amazing memories of my visit to the falls in 1874 for my 10th birthday.
lot's of educational information, to learn about. The diffrent plants and the surrounding. The falls is amazing. Thank you David 💕
Guyana, beautifully showcased. David and Stacy I loved watching your Guyana videos.💝👍
What a great experience being there. Great spectacle seeing this attractive waterfall. Congratulations for this extraordinary documentary. 👏👏👍👍
LOVE my beautiful GUYANA! DEFINITELY missing GUYANA so much!
Thank you, for showcasing my country ❤❤🇬🇾
Guyana is a big place over one hour on a plain flying over the country to see a water fall guyana is bigger than I expected
Lol an that one hour flying, cover less than quarter of the country.
Guyana is bigger than all the Caribbean countries combined .From Cuba right down to Trinidad. and Tobago
@@antgambino7021 I have to visit soon next year for sure
Guyana have 3 county ,,Essequibo, Berbice & Demerara and BARBADOS would fit comfortably in ESSEQUIBO
Guyana is big as England or a bit bigger
Thank you for this video David. I'm Guyanese but haven't had the chance to visit Kaieteur Falls. You did an awesome job showing the experience through video😊
Beautiful Kaieteur Falls in Guyana! Thanks for sharing
I have not been on many plane rides myself, but that ride looked fun to experience!
Surinam is also part of the Amazon rain forest so you were there more then once before.
Yes you are right! ❤😂😅

Great video!!! I'll put that on my bucket list!!!
David you have to come to Port Kaituma, (Jonestown, where the biggest suicide occurred in 1978), the border town of Baramita and the shores of Shell Beach. And to the southwest in Region 7: Paruima village (where there are impressive waterfalls such as: Uchii Falls, Panacima Falls and Attabrau Falls), as well as the Amerindian villages of Phillipai and Opadai (in the vicinity of Mount Roraima)
Love ❤ my Guyana 🇬🇾 ❤ ♥ 💓 💖 💕 🇬🇾 ❤ ♥ 💓

I didn't want this video to end.
Sooo nice and beautiful
one of the best video ever
I gotta see this in person
Wonderfull
Beautiful David I am happy you had an amazing time in my beautiful country. I always want to visit this falls but the last time I went to guyana it was very expensive. How much did it cost for the trip?
Many average Guyanese anxious to visit the falls but can’t afford it because it’s $190 US
WooW!! 👍🏽👍🏽❤️
We flew one v of those from St. Croix to Puerto Rico
We have over 300 waterfalls that's just one :)
😮😮😮😮Wooooow
Funny colour of the water 🧐 I wonder why 🤨.
Like the view
So that's where the helicopter went😂
Excellent video sir from kerala
Hey David what kind of sunglasses is that?
Sorry to say , many average Guyanese anxious to visit the falls but can’t afford it because it’s too expensive to get there as the air fare alone is $190US plus additional expense to get to the airport
Hi gd day you need to take David to linden too
God is so awesome and amazing!!!
Public comment. Nice video. Beautiful kaiture falls. Enjoy guyana.
This the best place u can get camp
Next time please visit Region 9 of Guyana. Guyana , Southern border with Brazil
This was not about the falls it was about your ride there. About 2 minutes is dedicated to seeing the falls.

This isn't Amazon it's Guiana Shield forest, predominantly green and purple heart. Guyana has a small part of the Amazon basin in the south Wei Wei tribe. Predominantly Brazil nut and Mahogany trees.
