When Is the Best Time To Visit Suriname?
The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit Suriname depends on what you are interested in doing during your stay. Here you can see an overview of each month and its typical weather conditions.
Tourist Season in Suriname
A trip to Suriname is best planned during one of the two dry seasons.
During the slightly cooler period from February to April, when there is no heat and the sultry and humid air does not bother you. There may be fleeting rains during this time, but they are not so frequent as to make a visit difficult.
The second dry season covering the time from August to November is also a very good time to travel in the country. Sunny and hot days encourage trekking, sightseeing and relaxing on the beaches.
When planning a trip during the rainy months (May to July and December to January), one must take into account possible traffic difficulties and that many hiking trails will be inaccessible to visitors.
