GSL stars set to tour Guyana, explore eco-tourism treasures

The ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League (GSLT20) is taking cricket beyond the stadium and into the heart of Guyana’s breathtaking landscapes and vibrant communities.

In a bold and exciting move, the league’s stars from across the globe will embark on a series of regional tours that celebrate the essence of eco-tourism, cultural heritage and local connection.

From towering waterfalls to untouched hinterland villages, the GSL is embracing the beauty of Guyana while giving fans across the country a chance to interact with their cricketing heroes in unexpected and unforgettable ways.

Kicking off the adventure, players from all teams will journey together to the legendary Kaieteur Falls, one of the world’s most majestic single-drop waterfalls.

This shared experience will be a symbolic moment of unity, as cricketers from different corners of the globe stand together in awe of one of nature’s greatest wonders right here in Guyana.

The Rangpur Riders will then head into Region Seven, where they will explore the majestic Essequibo River and make their way to Baganara Island.

Amidst lush greenery and golden riverbanks, the Riders will soak in the scenery and engage with local communities, bringing cricketing spirit to the heart of the region.

Meanwhile, the Central Stags will take to the streets of Georgetown on two wheels.

Their tour of the Garden City will include visits to several national heritage sites and monuments, a taste of iconic local dishes, and casual interactions with citizens.

Over in Region Six, the Hobart Hurricanes XI will embrace the wild, setting out on a bird-watching expedition along the Canje River.

Their day will be filled with the sights and sounds of exotic birds, peaceful water trails and the excitement of fishing in the local channels.

Most importantly, they’ll meet with fans and families in the region, celebrating community through shared stories and laughter.

Also in Region Six, the beloved Guyana Amazon Warriors will return to their roots with a nostalgic tour through New Amsterdam and Albion.

In this historic region, the Warriors will immerse themselves in “country life,” sampling traditional dishes, visiting cherished landmarks, and playing a few overs of cricket with Berbice All Stars in an atmosphere of celebration and homegrown pride.

Not to be left out, the Dubai Capitals will travel to Region 9, where they’ll venture deep into the Rupununi to explore the hinterland.

There, they’ll experience life among indigenous communities, learn about traditional customs, and relax at the serene and captivating Kumu Falls.

It’s a journey that promises cultural depth and scenic wonder, showing a different but equally important side of Guyana.

Romario Samaroo of the League’s event management team, expressed the league’s passion for this initiative, stating, “This tour isn’t just about cricket, it’s about culture, nature, and connection. Guyana is more than a host country; it’s an experience, and we want the world to see that. From waterfalls to wildlife, the GSL is proud to showcase Guyana’s eco-tourism alongside its sporting excellence.”

This unique experience will unfold during the first two weeks of July, just ahead of the high-intensity tournament action.

The GSLT20 runs from July 10-18 and in addition to Global cricket among various league champions will feature Global Super Concerts over the course of several nights featuring local and regional stars.

While stocks last, fans can purchase tickets for Guyana Amazon Warriors matches and have the option of buying tickets for the Caribbean Premier League.
