What To Expect

Yosemite National Park

After hotel pickups, we will enter Yosemite National Park where your entry is included. Your guide will provide historical and geological information on this special National Park.

Tunnel View

Our first stop is Tunnel View, one of the most iconic views of Yosemite National Park. While here, snap some photos and take in the beauty of this glacially-carved valley. Next, we will travel to higher elevations to reach the trailhead to the Sequoias.

Merced Grove

Once at the trailhead, it's time to bundle up and strap on your snowshoes. (If snow conditions do not permit, you will complete the hike in your regular hiking boots.) On this 3 mile roundtrip hike, make your way down the tranquil forest trail to reach a cluster of ancient Giant Sequoias. Here you'll find around 20 mature trees in one of Yosemite's most peaceful groves. Once you've worked up an appetite, enjoy your provided picnic lunch surrounded by the towering trees. Next, you'll make the gradual uphill climb of 600 feet elevation back to the trailhead.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

We boarded a coach that was unable to open any windows and the air-conditioning only blew out hot air. By the tour guide’s admission, the coach was designed incorrectly where on any incline, the air conditioning would not work. In 36 degree Celsius heat, this coach should not be deemed fit for purpose in the summer. On a trip where we paid $300 to be stuck in a mobile oven for 75% of a day starting at 06:20 and not concluding until 20:00, the company prefers to have its customers dehydrated, sweaty and uncomfortable for the day rather than make the much needed purchase of a modern day coach. Thankfully, there were no children or babies on board, as I imagine they would have really struggled to get through the day in such heat. The reason why my rating is two star instead of one, is because when we did stop, the picturesque scenery was lovely, and our tour guide (Randall), who felt sorry for us, did his best to keep our spirits up and bought us additional water where he could see we were clearly struggling. This is a review of a poorly run company, not the tour guide or the sites you get to see themselves.
