Scheduled Guided Tours

The best way to view the cliffs first hand is with one of our enthusiastic and knowledgable interpretative tour guides. Our guides can take you either on a short Logan tour, which will give you a basic knowledge of why the cliffs exist and the types of fossils you can expect to see, or a longer Lyell or Dawson tour, where you can see the cliffs in their full glory, the place where the bones of Hylonomus were discovered and gain a more in-depth knowledge of the Carboniferous Period.

Our Interpretative Guides are aware of newly uncovered fossils and can point out fossils, which you might miss if exploring alone.

If you would like information on a tour on any specific date, please see the Schedule below.
