FORT Island, formerly known as Flag Island, located some 16 kilometers from the mouth of the Essequibo River, was once the capital of the colonies of Essequibo and Demerara during the 16th and 17th centuries. the island bears an imprint of the Dutch in the form of two important structures – the Court of Policy and Fort Zeelandia. Take a walk through the Court of Policy, which was built in 1752, and learn more about this time in Guyana. This is the oldest non-military structure in Guyana and has donned many hats as a store, a church, court, and now a well-curated museum. A short walk away from here is Fort Zeelandia, an 18th century brick fort, which was one of the very first buildings constructed in the country. Though the fort is relatively small, it was vital as a defensive fortification.

We loved the tour. It was informative, exciting and loads of fun. Dave our guide was excellent and full of information. It was so good to see the beauty of Guyana from the Essequibo River. And we were lucky enough to see a Sloth and get to swim in the river. A day I’ll never forget.
Awesome adventure.

Firstly the guide was very informative and enlightened us on the Dutch presence and influence in Guyana. That boat ride was exciting, I don’t like small boats, but I felt comfortable. This was our first trip to that part of the Essequibo, thank you Wanderlust, we had an amazing day.
Great day of adventures
