Hi Karl! Thank you for your message! Ebony Forest and the Seven Coloured Earth are located on the same site, but they are managed by two separate entities, so the visits are completely independent.

You do not need to pay the entrance fee for the Seven Coloured Earth if you only want to visit Ebony Forest. When you arrive at the Chamarel Geopark entrance, simply let the staff know that you’re heading to Ebony Forest. You’ll be allowed through without paying the Chamarel fee, and the payment for Ebony Forest is done directly at their reception.

Enjoy your visit, the guided tour at Ebony is a wonderful experience!
