History: On April 29, 1870, the Kaieteur Fall was first seen by a European. The name of the Falls is derived from Kai, an Amerindian chief of the Patamona tribe who committed self-sacrifice by canoeing himself over the falls. It was believed this would encourage the Great Spirit Makonaima to save the tribe from being destroyed by the savage Caribishi.

Note: Flights to Kaieteur Falls are operated on chartered aircraft and all flights have a minimum passenger restriction. Therefore, any booking to Kaieteur Falls is subject to a minimum of 12 passengers being available to travel. In most cases, we are able to fill flights, especially if scheduled for a weekend. However, in the rare case that we cannot meet the required numbers, you will be offered the option of rescheduling the trip to another day during your stay, a full refund for that portion of the trip, or an alternative.

Keep in mind you are flying with a small airplane, flights can be canceled due to bad weather and bad condition of the airstrip.
