Saut Sabbat
Rapids and sandbars on the Maroni River, with rainforest riverside camps where locals come on weekends to swim, picnic and stay overnight.
Saut Sabbat lies on the middle reaches of the Maroni River, near where National Road 1 crosses. The river forms rapids and shallows over the rocks, with dense rainforest on both banks. Hammock camps and simple food stands are here, and residents of Saint-Laurent and Mana come on weekends to swim, paddle canoes and picnic. You can also take a boat from here deeper into the upper Maroni. Do not swim where the current is strong, and bring insect repellent.
