Yorkshire Fossil Hunting Tours

WELCOME TO FOSSILS-UK'S "YORKSHIRE'S FOSSIL HUNTING TOURS"

Join one of Fossils-UK’s Fossil Hunting Tours for a family adventure packed with excitement, discovery, and plenty of hands-on fun!
Perfect for kids and grown-ups alike, these guided walks turn Whitby’s beautiful Jurassic coastline into a giant outdoor treasure hunt and outdoor science class—where every rock could hide a secret from millions of years ago.

Led by friendly fossil experts who love sharing their knowledge, your family will learn how to spot real fossils like ammonites, belemnites, and shiny pieces of fool’s gold. The guides explain everything in an easy, engaging way, making science simple, fun, and absolutely unforgettable for children and adults.

Kids will love the thrill of finding their very own fossils to take home, while adults enjoy the stunning sea views and fascinating stories about the creatures that once swam where you’re standing. It’s the perfect mix of education and adventure, wrapped up in a relaxed coastal walk that everyone can enjoy.

Discover ancient treasures, make amazing memories, and explore Whitby’s prehistoric past—together.

Most of our tours take place on the North Yorkshire coastline around the seaside fishing port of Whitby.

Our trips are very tide dependant. As such we have designed these trips based on the best possible tidal times.

Due to the distances and terrain it can be unsuitable for very small children and those with certain medical conditions.
Please check the suitability sections of each tour to find out more.
