What people say about us:
Kayaking trip and sunset
A huge thanks to our guide Rowin for the wonderful kayaking trip along the river with a beautiful sunset view. My wife and I are absolutely delighted!
Great hike with Jordan
We had Jordan as guide and had great hike with him on Le Morne Brabant on April 11. He gave very interesting information, was good with guiding the group and had good jokes.
An unforgettable hike
Yesterday, my Husband and I climbed Le Morne Brabant with our wonderful guide, Paj.
We were both quite apprehensive beforehand after seeing how steep the mountain was and the mention of ‘scrambling’. However, it was incredible, so much better than we had imagined. At no point did we feel unsafe and Paj was great at guiding us through the tough parts.
We had initially contemplated doing it on our own, but I don’t think we would have completed it without Paj.
He was really informative and showed us all the best view points.
We would 100% recommend booking Yanature.
