Evergreen Adventures Tours

Company Profile
In 1989, the Correia family acquired Baganara Island. This island is located in the Essequibo River, five
miles south of the traditional gateway to the interior, Bartica.
By 1994, the famous Baganara façade was taking shape. Residents of Bartica and other curious persons
would travel just to take pictures and marvel at the transformation of a wild jungle to a serene paradise
right before their eyes.
In 1995, construction of an airstrip and a manager’s facility was underway. The facility and the island
were used as the venue for numerous training seminars and management retreats. Unknowingly, seeds
were being planted for the future of Baganara Island as a resort par excellence, where private and
corporate clientele could escape for physical and mental rejuvenation.
Company Profile cont’d
In 1996, the timing was right to transform the island to a resort facility and hence, Evergreen
Adventures evolved. Evergreen Adventures was launched to showcase Guyana’s natural beauty, it
offers numerous opportunities for visitors to our country to experience our rich multicultural
society and diverse landscapes. The idea was to pay homage to our beloved country by advertising
