General
Akira Overwater Resort Bigi Pan is Suriname’s newest resort. The unique resort is built entirely on the water and consists of 16 detached lodges, an attractive restaurant and a lobby. The lodges and the main building are connected by wooden walkways. Seen from the air, the resort is shaped like a “tilapia”, a common species of fish in Bigi Pan.
Bird paradise Bigi Pan
Bigi Pan is an enormous nature reserve covering an area of 68,000 hectares and an equally large area of sea. It is an integrated area of swamps, mangrove forests and lagoons. Bigi Pan is a true paradise for birdwatchers, but the area is also rich in fish and reptile species. As many as 72 bird species, including the Red Ibis, live permanently in this unique nature reserve. In addition, about 50 migratory birds from North America come to Bigi Pan every year, including the fish eagle, waders and various species of terns.
In the early morning and late afternoon, you will see the thousands of birds leaving their roosts and then returning again in the evening. It’s an impressive spectacle. If you really want to experience the beauty of Bigi Pan, an overnight stay in the nature reserve is a must. It’s a worthwhile experience for the breathtaking sunrise and sunset alone! A visit to Akira Overwater Resort should not be missed during your stay in Suriname.
