Five steps from idea to itinerary
Planning with us is a conversation, not a checkout. You share what you want from Guyana; we turn it into a route that works and a proposal you can rely on.
How it works
- 1
Tell us about your trip
Use the trip form or email us. Dates (or a rough window), who is travelling, what you want to see, the pace you enjoy and a budget range all help.
- 2
We reply with ideas
We aim to reply within two working days. We suggest a route, explain the trade-offs and ask anything we need to know.
- 3
We check availability
We confirm the route, dates and price with the licensed local operator who would deliver your trip before putting anything in writing.
- 4
You receive a written proposal
One document with the itinerary, total price, what is included and excluded, the prepayment and balance, cancellation terms and who delivers your trip.
- 5
You book, we stay in touch
Your booking is secured when you accept and pay the prepayment to Guyana Journey. You pay the balance directly to the operator in Guyana. We confirm everything in writing and stay your contact.
Step 4 in detail
Your written proposal
The proposal is the heart of the process. It is where everything becomes concrete, and it is what you accept or decline. It always contains the same elements, so you can compare and decide with confidence.
Prices in a proposal are valid for the period it states, because operators hold availability for a limited time. The proposal also states any condition set by the operator that affects you, such as baggage limits on light aircraft or minimum group sizes.

Questions about the process
How long does planning take?
We aim to reply to a new request within two working days. How quickly a proposal follows depends mainly on how fast lodges and airlines confirm availability for your dates; we tell you what we are waiting for.
Can I change the proposal?
Yes. Revising a proposal once or twice is normal. We update the route and price until it is right for you.
Is there any obligation?
No. Planning and proposals are free, and nothing is booked until you accept a proposal and pay the prepayment.
What happens if something changes during the trip?
Your proposal lists who to contact during your travels. We stay reachable and work with you and the people on the ground on practical solutions, such as rearranging a flight after weather delays.
