What is the difference between a shared and a private tour?

A shared tour is priced per person and you join a small group of 2 to 12 people. A private tour is just your group with your own guide, priced for the whole group from 1 to 10 guests, and includes light snacks and refreshments.

Is my booking confirmed straight away?

Yanature tours are on request: we check the guide’s availability with Yanature and then confirm your booking. Please book at least 2 days ahead.

How fit do I need to be?

Each tour has a grade. The Le Morne Brabant summit (grade 3/4) needs good fitness and involves scrambling with your hands. Around Le Morne, Tamarind Falls and Black River Gorges are grade 2/4, and the Wild South hike is easy (grade 1/4). Sea kayaking and the e-bike tour need previous experience.

Are there age limits?

Most hikes and river kayaks are for ages 10 to 65 (Around Le Morne from 9). Kayaking with dolphins and to Crystal Rock are from 12, and canyoning and the e-bike tour from 14. Other ages may be possible on request.

Where do the tours start?

Each tour has its own meeting point — Le Morne, Henrietta, Black River, Gris Gris, Tamarin or Constance Le Chaland — shown on its page. For most hikes you then follow the guide by car to the trailhead, so you need your own taxi or car; we can arrange one on WhatsApp.
