Orin Duiker is a township in the Essequibo Islands-West Demerara Region of Guyana, located on the west bank of the Demerara River, about 30 kilometers from the capital city of Georgetown. It has agriculture and forestry as the mainstay of its economy, and is surrounded by tropical rainforests and plantations that produce timber, coconuts, rice and other crops.
Located on the coastal plain of Guyana, Olean Duiker has a hot and humid climate and retains a rich biodiversity. The local population is predominantly Indian, African-American and mixed-race, and the community's culture is a blend of Caribbean and South American characteristics. Traditional wooden houses and farmers' markets provide a simple rural atmosphere, and most residents are engaged in farming or small-scale handicrafts.
The town is accessible by road via the Georgetown-Linden Highway, and water transportation on the Demerara River carries some of the flow of goods. Although not a mainstream tourist destination, the surrounding rainforest adventures, bird-watching activities and Aboriginal cultural experiences attract some eco-tourists. Neighboring Kayentul National Park, known for the world's largest single-stage waterfall, adds natural scenic value to the area.
