Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Day Tour

Overview

Explore glacially-formed cliffs, wildflower-speckled meadows, and hike to the towering Sequoias in the heart of Yosemite’s dynamic wilderness.

Immerse yourself in our day-long tour with our professional guides as they lead you through not only Yosemite Valley but also to see the ancient Giant Sequoias of Tuolumne Grove. You’ll capture the endless skylines, rock formations, and waterfalls as you enjoy an overview of how Yosemite Park’s unique landscape was formed, who came before, and how the park became the nation’s first ever protected national park. Next, strap up your hiking boots and embark on the 2.5 mile (4 km) round trip hike down to the Sequoia Grove which most day tour visitors do not get the chance to see.

With 1.5 hours of free time in Yosemite Valley you’ll also get the chance to wander through the picturesque meadows, check out the Visitor’s Center or just find a serene overlook to sit and reflect.

Super bad. First of all, the bus was too late by almost an hour, so we had to visit several other hotel pickup points, and finally, after 2 hours, the tour "guide" (driver) explained the day's program. 4 hour's a drive to Yosemite park; stay there for 3 hours and back. No guided hiking tour (as promoted on the website) and no sequoias. More passengers were upset, but we stepped out of the bus as the sequoias were the single purpose of this day trip. This is one big scam. How can I get my money back????

The trip was definitely long, but seeing the Sequoias and Yosemite was beautiful. Our tour guide was wonderful. Sharing tidbits about SF, yosemite. He also made sure we got the best photos / views among the crowds.

Rob was an excellent tour guide, helping us enjoy and get so much out of the day. And Camelia’s driving around those twisty roads with incredible views was awesome! There was so much to see that was truly breathtaking and a packed day but it never felt rushed. A trip that will love king in our memories
