At Yanature, we’ve had the pleasure of guiding visitors from all over the world the past 20 years. Our passion for the outdoors and commitment to providing the highest standard of services have really been the heart of our success.
Yanature has pioneered outdoors tourism in Mauritius since January 2004. Between 2004 and 2014, Yan de Maroussem has been guiding customers on Le Morne Brabant mountain on his own, as a sole-trader.
In 2014, Henri Fayolle has joined the adventure with a fresh vision, and a few months later, recruited his childhood friend Nicolas Queland to join the adventure and together build a company with a shared vision
We have opened the famous ascent to Le Morne Brabant, introduced Trail-Running on the island, creating a series of events that bring together between 500 to 2000 adventures on a monthly basis.
Above all else, we are a group of friends sharing a deep love for being outdoors. Our driving force is a simple one: We want to share the breathtaking wilderness of our treasured island with others, without harming it. This is what motivates us each morning.
Exploring the outdoors comes with its risks. That’s why our guides are not only experienced, but also thoroughly trained to provide a professional and secured service.
Our thirst for exploration knows no bound. Ever since we’ve started our activities in 2004, we’ve constantly been busy opening new tracks through our deepest forests, to our wildest Mountains peak or designing breathtaking kayaking excursions.
At Yanature, our “why” is simple: it’s our deep love for the outdoors. We are passionately drawn to nature and cherish every moment we spend amidst its beauty. To us, there is no greater joy than feeling connected with our environment and understanding its immense value.
We’re equally passionate about sharing this respect for nature and our unique knowledge about Mauritius with others. Whether it’s visitors seeking a unique outdoor experience in our beautiful country, or younger generations who we hope will carry forward this love for the environment, we feel a responsibility to pass on what we’ve learned.
Ultimately, we do what we do because nature is what we treasure most in life – and we believe the best way to protect it is by helping others appreciate its worth too.
Ensuring your safety is our top concern. That’s why we run a twice yearly training scheme to equip our guides with skills for all scenarios. Our guides are rigorously trained and tested in mountain risk assessment. Plus, we have an annual training that covers rescue drills and emergency procedures.
We deeply appreciate our country’s ecology, always mindful to respect nature and leave only footprints. Living in a land rich in unique endemic species is a privilege we cherish. It’s critical to us to prevent their loss, and that’s why we support the local NGO, “The Mauritian Wildlife Foundation”.
Encounters sit at the heart of Yanature. As guides, we live for those moments when a path turns into a conversation, a view becomes a shared memory, and strangers feel like friends. That’s why we do what we do—because every encounter makes the adventure meaningful.
At Yanature, we’re all about having a good time in nature without causing harm to the environment. We believe that it’s important to appreciate the beauty of Mauritius while preserving it for future generations to enjoy. Our team at Yanature is passionate about nature and loves sharing that passion with our guests. We promise to make your adventure with us fun and unforgettable, as well as safe and professional. So, embark with us on an adventure and let’s explore the beauty of Mauritius together.
