In this guide
Kaieteur Falls is one of those bucket-list places where the operator you book with genuinely changes the day. Some include lunch, some don't. Some leave from Ogle every weekend, some only fly on request. Some send you with a guide who's been doing it for 20 years, some give you a college kid. This page breaks down every operator with a verified 2026 Kaieteur tour, so you can pick on facts rather than the first Google result.
Background and history of the falls is on our Kaieteur Falls main page — this page is purely about the operators.

All operators depart from Eugene F. Correia International Airport (Ogle) — there are no commercial Kaieteur tours from CJIA / Cheddi Jagan Int'l. Park entry (Kaieteur Pass) is included in every quoted price.
Air Services Limited (ASL)
Verified price: US$270 per person. ASL is the cheapest verified Kaieteur day-tour operator in 2026 and runs the most consistent published schedule — every Saturday and Sunday, with charter availability on request for other days. The flight is round-trip from Ogle, the tour spends about 2 hours at the falls covering the three classic viewpoints (Johnson's, Boy Scout, Rainbow), and the package includes a snack and beverage but not lunch. Park pass (G$3,000 value) is included.

Evergreen Adventures
Verified price: US$350 per person. Evergreen runs Kaieteur day tours on weekends with a minimum of 12 passengers to operate — meaning solo travellers may need to join an existing group or wait for one to fill. The 5-hour package includes return flight from Ogle, park pass, trained guide, snack, and water. Lunch and hotel pickup are not included.

Dagron Tours
Verified price: US$350 per person — and the only operator that explicitly includes lunch. Dagron runs Kaieteur day tours Friday/Saturday/Sunday, minimum 9 passengers. The 4-hour tour (about 2 hours at the falls) includes return flight from Ogle, park entry, a trained guide, bottled water, and either a boxed lunch or a meal at the Kaieteur Guesthouse on the plateau. For US$80 more than ASL, you skip the food-logistics headache.

Wilderness Explorers
Verified price: US$360 per person + US$20 transfer. Wilderness Explorers caps groups at 12, runs the tour on request rather than a fixed schedule, and includes return flight from Ogle, snacks and water, park pass, guide, and VAT. The airport transfer is extra. If you're after a smaller-group experience with the most comprehensive guide commentary across the spectrum, this is the operator to call — at a small premium.

Trans Guyana Airways
Price: not publicly published — quote on request. Trans Guyana operates Kaieteur day-tour and Kaieteur+Orinduik combo flights from Ogle, but does not publish USD prices on the operator website. Their Kaieteur+Orinduik combo is interesting if you want to see two waterfalls in one day — Orinduik is a 25-minute flight east of Kaieteur. The tour includes a trained guide and park fees; lunch is not included on the day-only tour but is included on the combo. Email/phone for a current quote.

Overland trek operators
If you have 4–5 days and want to see Kaieteur as the climax of a jungle trek rather than a fly-in-fly-out, two operators run the overland trail.
| Operator | Price USD pp | Duration | Group min |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adventure Guianas | $795 | 4–5 days | 2 pax — site |
| Dagron Tours | From $1,395 | 5 days / 4 nights | 3 pax private — site |
Route: Georgetown → Linden → Mahdia → Pamela Landing → boat up the Potaro River → Tukeit camp → climb the "Oh My God" mountain to Kaieteur plateau → fly out by Cessna from Kaieteur airstrip. Both operators include transport, meals, guides, and the return flight.
How to pick
Best price → ASL
If your priority is the lowest verified rate and a guaranteed weekend departure, ASL at US$270 is the answer.
Best value → Dagron
The only day tour that includes a real meal. For US$80 above ASL, you save the on-plateau food hassle.
Small-group premium → Wilderness Explorers
Max 12 pax, the most detailed guiding, and operator credibility that's hard to beat. Worth the small price premium.
Two falls in one day → Trans Guyana combo
The Kaieteur + Orinduik combo is the option no one else offers. Ask for a quote and check whether the flight schedule fits your itinerary.
Earn the view → Overland trek
Adventure Guianas at US$795 is the budget-conscious overland option; Dagron's private-group US$1,395 is the comfort upgrade. Both are real expeditions, not casual day trips.
