PRIVATE TOURS

Staithes is a stunning location where you can walk through a unique heritage landscape of Iron, Alum and Jet mining and discover a huge array of fossils from the lower Jurassic period. This location gives access to a mixture of geological time periods, therefore opening up options of fossil discoveries.

Our Earth Scientist guides curate individually designed tours that follow best practice in accessing sites for responsible collecting suited to the SSSI status of the location. Private tours consider the unique safety factors of Staithes and are arranged to suit tides, adventure level, age and ability of the hiring party.

Spring to Autumn availability is now extremely limited. Book early to avoid disappointment

1-6 people – 3-4 hour itinerary = Cost £175

7-11 people  – 3-4 hour itinerary = Cost £250
