Internet in French Guiana: everything you need to know
In French Guiana, mobile data runs on Orange, SFR Caraïbe, Digicel and Free, with good 4G along the coast, where almost the entire population lives. The territory is vast and more than 90% covered by Amazon rainforest: coverage follows the coastal towns and roads, but becomes non-existent once you head into the forest or up the rivers. A travel eSIM connects you on landing in Cayenne.
- ●Good 4G in Cayenne, Kourou, Rémire-Montjoly, Matoury and Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni. Coverage follows the coastal national road (RN1 and RN2).
- ●In the Amazon interior (Maripasoula, upper Maroni, upper Oyapock, nature reserves), the network disappears: travel is by pirogue or plane, often beyond any coverage.
- ●No blocked services: Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube and Netflix work normally.
- ●Handy for Google Maps on the coast, following a launch from the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, booking river excursions and staying in touch with accommodation.

Frequently asked questions
Does the eSIM really work in French Guiana?
Yes, along the coast. French Guiana travel eSIMs ride on Orange, SFR Caraïbe, Digicel or Free, with good 4G in the coastal towns. Check the partner network in each offer's detail on Datadopt.
Does my mainland-France plan work in French Guiana?
Most "France entière" plans include the overseas departments at no extra cost, but not all (some prepaid or entry-level plans exclude them). Check yours; otherwise an eSIM avoids out-of-plan charges.
What if I come from abroad?
Then French Guiana is a full roaming destination, often billed at a high rate. A prepaid travel eSIM with a few GB costs far less than a day of international roaming.
Is there signal in the Amazon rainforest?
No, almost never. As soon as you leave the coast for the interior (upper Maroni, Oyapock, reserves), there is no coverage. Download your offline maps and plan satellite communication for expeditions.
How much data for a stay in French Guiana?
Plan 3–6 GB for a week on the coast: Maps, WhatsApp, bookings. Usage stays moderate since part of the trip (forest, rivers) happens off-network.
