🚖 Getting There
Getting to and from Wageningen Airstrip is easiest by pre-arranged taxi or private vehicle from Wageningen or Nieuw Nickerie, as public transport options are limited and may not run on demand. Confirm your pickup in advance, especially for early or late flights, and allow extra time during rainy season when rural roads can be slow. If you are continuing to Guyana or Paramaribo, arrange onward transport before arrival because the airstrip has minimal ground services.
