French Guiana: When to go

See Holidays

The best time to go to French Guiana depends on your priorities:  places visited, weather, availability and preferred activities.

  • Temperatures are tropical and consistent, averaging 27°C throughout the year, although it can be cooler at night in the highlands than on the coast. The driest and sunniest season is Aug-Oct.
  • The best time to go to French Guiana for festival lovers is its carnival which extends through most of January and February when natives from mainland French, Brazilians, Creoles as well as Chinese congregate to take part. Street parades and party atmosphere brings the whole country almost to a standstill.
