GTA Re-Licensed 2026 · Founder-RunScenic Scapes Adventures is a Guyanese-owned tour operator based in Bartica, Region 7 — the gateway town where the Essequibo, Mazaruni and Cuyuni Rivers meet. Founded and led personally by Colette Ault (CEO & Founder), Scenic Scapes crafts cultural, immersive, historical tours for adventurers aged 5 to 55 who want a deeper connection with Guyana’s nature, communities and heritage.
The catalogue ranges from G$15,500 educational day trips to overnight river adventures: Kaieteur Falls, Orealla (Region 6), Karrau Gold Tour, Linden, the Green Arena Paintball Experience, Bartica Educational Tours, Marshall + White Water Falls, Malali on the Demerara, and Byderabo Point chill days — plus custom itineraries built around your dates and group size. Small groups, local guides, real Bartica hospitality.
Every Scenic Scapes tour leans into what makes Bartica unique — three rivers meeting, waterfalls hidden in the bush, and the laid-back rhythm of a riverside town. All tours are customisable. WhatsApp Colette to plan dates, group size and pricing.
The headliner. Cruise the wide Essequibo River from Bartica through islands, hidden inlets and forested banks. Pack a lunch or we'll arrange a riverside spot. Half-day or full-day options.
A river-boat ride from Bartica to Marshall Falls — one of the prettiest small waterfalls in the Essequibo region. Swim in the plunge pool, picnic on the rocks, hike the surrounding rainforest trails.
A favourite collaboration tour with Wild Adventures — market visits, historic Bartica spots, then upriver to the rushing White Water Falls. A full sensory day blending culture and nature.
Up the Demerara River to Malali — pristine forest, fresh fish caught and cooked, community life and the legendary Chi-Chi Kuchipudi creek. The trip Colette herself calls "one of my most amazing journeys."
The local Saturday/Sunday escape. Riverside relaxation, family-friendly, perfect for a slow Guyana day. Add boat-ride extensions or food packages on request.
The Bartica market, historic spaces and stories of the gold-rush town. Meet residents, eat where locals eat, hear the history of "The Gateway." Pairs well with a river cruise add-on.
Custom-tour pricing varies by group size, season and length. Message Colette on WhatsApp for an exact quote.

Four things make a Scenic Scapes tour different from every other "river day-trip" in the Essequibo region.
Every tour is run by Colette personally or by hand-picked local guides she's worked with for years. No call-center handoffs, no rotating staff.
Colette personally participates in the country-wide Clean Bartica campaign — chose Byderabo Point as her stewardship site. Eco-care isn't marketing here, it's a Saturday morning habit.
Officially re-licensed with the Guyana Tourism Authority in May 2026 — full insurance, training, and the safety standards GTA requires.
You'll never be lost in a crowd. Most tours run 2-8 guests so Colette can flex the day around your interests, fitness and pace.
Travellers connecting deeply with the natural beauty and rich culture of Bartica and all of Region 7 — through immersive, eco-friendly experiences that inspire adventure, foster sustainability, and celebrate the untouched wonders of Guyana’s hinterland.
