After several days of uncertainty due to the weather, I was finally able to head out to one of Guyana’s natural wonders, Kaieteur Falls, on the final day of my trip!
My day began bright and early in Guyana’s capital, Georgetown, but soon I’d be deep within Kaieteur National Park (which became a national park in 1929) to see the world’s largest single-drop waterfall by volume! It’ 4.5 times higher than Niagara Falls!

We could only get there via a tiny airplane, so we had to weigh ourselves and everything onboard to make sure we weren’t overweight. I was 81 kilos, so I was good! It would take us roughly an hour and 15 minutes to fly to the falls. I couldn’t wait!
While we waited, we had some coconut biscuits for a light breakfast. They were hard and crunchy, but they would have been great with some coffee or chai. I loved the coconut flavor. The falls are so isolated, we had to take some snacks with us.
Roraima Airways would be taking us deep into the jungle. Our plane only seats 8 people, but we also saw a big, state-of-the-art helicopter that they operate. They monitor the weather all the time to make sure the conditions are good for flying.
After a brief delay due to weather conditions, we were ready to fly! I slept for half of the flight. I could glimpse the falls from the air as we made our descent. Then, we arrived at the Kaieteur National Park Center, where they have snacks and sell souvenirs.
Before you head out to the falls, they run down the park rules. Visitors must stay on the established paths, and no swimming/wading is allowed in the Potaro River. All visitors must be accompanied by a guide. There’s no littering or alcohol consumption allowed, and you can’t collect or remove any plants or animals in the park.
You also cannot set fires within the park, and visitors are not allowed to approach the edge of the falls or the gorge. The trails can be hazardous, so you have to be safe.
We found a carnivorous plant called sundew, which is coated in a sticky substance that captures insects. Then, we also saw a golden frog inside a plant, and a beehive. I loved being out in the rainforest. We also saw plants that the indigenous people use for toiletries and a striped plant called a tiger’s stripe.
Our guide also showed us a species of bamboo. As we got closer to the Rainbow Viewpoint, I could hear the water crashing. The falls were spectacular! They were easily the most impressive waterfalls I’d ever seen. We spent about 15 minutes there, just taking photos and admiring the view.
But there was one more viewpoint for us to hike to! We followed the trail through the jungle to Nature Valley View, which is right near the mouth of the falls. It’s so close to the falls and is so amazing!
I drank a bit of fresh water from a nearby stream as we hiked back to the Kaieteur National Park Center. There, they have little figurines of native animals made from a natural latex called balata, which comes from the sap of the bulletwood tree. They shape it into turtles, snakes, parrots, jaguars, armadillos, caiman, manatees, porcupines, and other animals!
I bought one for my daughters and some friends before trying some crunchy fried chana and some smooth and creamy milk fudge. Then, it was time to fly back to Georgetown!
This time, I rode next to the pilot so I could get the best views possible of the falls as we flew off! What an unforgettable experience!

About Me:
My name is David Hoffmann. Since starting David’s Been Here in 2008, I have traveled to over 1,300 destinations in 92 countries to experience and document unique cultures on my UA-cam channel, travel blog, and social media.
I highlight culture and historical sites, but my passion is food! I love to experience and showcase the different flavors each destination has to offer, from casual street food to gourmet restaurant dining.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
I must say this Guyana series has been the best David has ever done. Stacy did an excellent job showing him around Guyana. It's been educational and informative just delightful.
Thank you ❤
Hats off to Simon, David, Stacey, Chris, Capt. Fidel and Gerry, and everyone else who contributed. They all did a fantastic job! This was not your typical Kaieteur tour video. It was informative and entertaining. David, I love the way you immersed yourself in every experience even while recording. You didn't make the video all about yourself, you showcased what Guyana has to offer.
You guys did justice to our beloved Kaieteur. Well done!
Visit Guyana!😊🇬🇾💯
I flew on that plane with that pilot in 2021 for my 50th Bday. 1st time in 42 years. Born in the US but both parents Guyanese. Smooth flight. I was nervous at first. I also had the same tour guide Simon. 😂 lol. What a coincidence. Awesome experience.
The Guyana series was personally my favorite one ever! A very Interesting country. Guyana looks like it has a great future ahead. Thanks 4 posting these amazing videos in the series! left a thumbs up!
Wow thank you ❤
@@Davidsbeenhere wow thank you sir! it means a lot to get a reply from a huge youtuber like you with 1M+ subs :DDD
I am a Trinidadian born and raised in Trinidad my parents and my 2 sisters are from Guyana living in Trinidad currently and i just wanted to say that all the Guyanese videos that David has made so far showcasing Guyana was way better than all the Trinidad videos. Your tour guide Stacy did an amazing job taking you all around Guyana and showing us the different types of food and culture and also all the tourist attraction in Guyana. Jason Peru did not showcase Trinidad and Tobago like these Guyanese videos which was very disappointing for me as a Trinidadian. Well done David and Stacy your videos were very entertaining.
Correct these videos made me feel like I myself visited the country lol she focused on all type of foods different cultures and site....
I second that.👏👏👏👏👍👍
Edit: excellent Stacy. Stay safe❤❤
Looking in from the outside it may look so but for us Guyanese she could have done much better, giving credit where it's due she done her best.❤🇬🇾❤🇬🇾❤🇬🇾
Jason did a great job 👏
I honestly dont think she did a good job, she’s so boring
Indeed this is a World Class Waterfall and the best Waterfalls in the World. It is a National Park one of the best in the world.

The quality of your videos is so good. Even when you make sudden movements and shake the camera, it's still so clear.
Also, that is a stunning waterfall. And the tour guide did a great job explaining the sights and sounds of the park and the falls.
The best camera but now I upgraded even better ❤

Kaieteur Falls is the world's largest single drop water fall.
Located in the Potaro River in the Kaieteur National Park.
Proud Guyanese here I love ❤ my country Guyana 🇬🇾
One of my the best experiences ever was to visit the mystic kaieteur falls. Sent a shiver trough me just listening to the water before you actually see the falls in it's natural beauty. ❤🇬🇾❤🇬🇾
Really is the most incredible Water fall as you said David.....for me I would class it as one of the many Wonders of the World....just majestic..heavenly..angelic.....the guide explaining the natural environment. ...Another very informed video on Guyana. Thanks David, safe jpurney.
Yes of course! Always want to be informative ❤
@@Davidsbeenhere yes there is so much to learn just by viewing all your works. keep on.
As a Guyanese it's on my bucket list for sure!! 👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks David.. you did an awesome job. You must experience the Rupununi, Roraima Mountains etc .
Thank You for Promoting Guyana Tourism. I wish that more people would visit Guyana and enjoy our beautiful and peaceful Nation. Come To Guyana and enjoy our Culture, hospitality and traditions.
Love how David supports the locals in every country he visits...
Of course! Budget to spend. Thoughtful kind tourism ❤
He is suppose to support the locals does he visits each country to vlog about the rich?
@@camillebelle9873 who said that was the case MS Belle ??? It's an appreciate for David's support . So carry on
@@COOKINGWITHDEBS thank you I will carry on ❤.
Have a beautiful day.
What a great experience being there. Great spectacle seeing this attractive waterfall. Congratulations for this extraordinary documentary. 👏👏👍👍
David, this is the ultimate Guyanese experience!
Good morning David. Hope you are still enjoying your mini vacation. Just finished watching this and I have to say that that was brave of you to stand so close to the edge with no barriers for protection. I was on pins and needles. First time seeing it that close up. We call those propeller planes 'wind jammers'. And note to Stacy: channa and chick peas are the same. In North America we call it chick peas. Anyway David, glad to see how much you enjoyed your trip to see the Falls. Looking forward to tomorrow's episode. Stay safe🙏🕊️🇹🇹🇨🇦
Thank you for this, it’s brought back some amazing memories of my visit to the falls in 1874 for my 10th birthday.
Am enjoying every bit of David videos thank u Guyana was d best
The Waterfall is breathtaking !!
I love when people visit my homeland! The waterfall is absolutely stunning & David's videos are always 10/10!

Just amazing, I am enjoying all these Guyana videos ❤ It shows you love our beautiful country and it’s people. Hope you visit again David 🇬🇾♥️
Guyana is a big place over one hour on a plain flying over the country to see a water fall guyana is bigger than I expected
Lol an that one hour flying, cover less than quarter of the country.
Guyana is bigger than all the Caribbean countries combined .From Cuba right down to Trinidad. and Tobago
@@antgambino7021 I have to visit soon next year for sure
Guyana have 3 county ,,Essequibo, Berbice & Demerara and BARBADOS would fit comfortably in ESSEQUIBO
Guyana is big as England or a bit bigger
Loved watching tour of this waterfall.
LOVE my beautiful GUYANA! DEFINITELY missing GUYANA so much!

David you have to come to Port Kaituma, (Jonestown, where the biggest suicide occurred in 1978), the border town of Baramita and the shores of Shell Beach. And to the southwest in Region 7: Paruima village (where there are impressive waterfalls such as: Uchii Falls, Panacima Falls and Attabrau Falls), as well as the Amerindian villages of Phillipai and Opadai (in the vicinity of Mount Roraima)

WOW!! Magnificent!!
one of the best video ever
I must say that is one amazing view
Beautiful David I am happy you had an amazing time in my beautiful country. I always want to visit this falls but the last time I went to guyana it was very expensive. How much did it cost for the trip?
Many average Guyanese anxious to visit the falls but can’t afford it because it’s $190 US
Best series thus far ❤❤❤it!
This plane ride doesn't be a joke nah...... but the falls are spectacular
Great video, bro. Keep it up.
WooW!! 👍🏽👍🏽❤️
Awesome work! Love it👍
Wonderfull
We have over 300 waterfalls that's just one :)
Absolutely amazing 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎉
God is so awesome and amazing!!!
😮😮😮😮Wooooow
Hey David what kind of sunglasses is that?
Public comment. Nice video. Beautiful kaiture falls. Enjoy guyana.
So that's where the helicopter went😂
🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪Amazing Venezuelan falls❤❤🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪
Next time please visit Region 9 of Guyana. Guyana , Southern border with Brazil
Excellent video sir from kerala
Like the view
Sorry to say , many average Guyanese anxious to visit the falls but can’t afford it because it’s too expensive to get there as the air fare alone is $190US plus additional expense to get to the airport
Hi gd day you need to take David to linden too
❤
This the best place u can get camp
👍👍
This isn't Amazon it's Guiana Shield forest, predominantly green and purple heart. Guyana has a small part of the Amazon basin in the south Wei Wei tribe. Predominantly Brazil nut and Mahogany trees.
🌟❤️🌟🇬🇾🌟❤️🌟
Rep for my city
❤️💚💛🇬🇾
This was not about the falls it was about your ride there. About 2 minutes is dedicated to seeing the falls.
Inga Falls. larges by volume 910,000 cu ft / sec. 25,768 cu m / sec. .
😍😍😍😍😍😍

It's the highest drop waterfalls.
David how would you describe your time visiting Guyana? Is it the best so far? U got to meet the president 😅 and how about the food?
I would love to talk to you. I know you are busy with all that you do,but you miss out on a lot of food that you should had when you were in Guyana 🇬🇾
🇨🇦🇹🇹🇬🇾👍👍👍
