Totness Airport (IATA: TOT, ICAO: SMCO) is a small domestic airstrip serving Totness, the capital of Suriname’s Coronie District. Located about 2 km south of the town center near the Atlantic coast, it primarily handles light aircraft, charter flights, and occasional domestic services. Its simple facilities and short runway make it a convenient gateway for travelers heading to Coronie’s wetlands, birdwatching areas, and coastal communities.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors bring small SRD notes for taxi fares and local purchases, since card payments and ATMs are scarce in Totness. Ask locals about early-morning birdwatching along the Coronie coast—it’s one of the area’s best-kept experiences.
🚖 Getting There
There is no regular public transport at the airport, so arrange a taxi or hotel pickup in advance. From Paramaribo, the drive via the East-West Highway takes about 2–2.5 hours; from Totness center it’s only a few minutes. Confirm your return ride before departure, as rides are not always waiting at the airstrip.
