Between November and March, when the trail is not safe due to snow and ice accumulation, we substitute the hike with additional time in Yosemite Valley.
The Giant Sequoias Grove is located at a higher elevation and the hike is dependent on trail conditions, especially from October through May. Ice and snow might make the trail unsafe to hike. The decision of whether it is safe to go on the hike will be made on a day by day basis. Therefore, a visit cannot be guaranteed. However, while the trail might be closed, guests get to spend more time in Yosemite Valley. There you can see all the other great sights Yosemite has to offer, including El Capitan, Inspiration Point, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls and more.

Great well organised trip. Roman was a great tour guide and driver, he knew a lot about Yosemite/surrounding areas and was a very smooth driver throughout. He was also very entertaining with his dry humour!! Would recommend to all

I had a wonderful time on this Yosemite National Park and Giant Sequoia day tour. I treated myself this tour for my Birthday. Pick up locations were easy to find. The schedule was on track. Our first stop before heading out to the tour was to grab snacks and beverages in Oakdale. Once we were on tour we made several stops and was able to explore the sights up close, take photos and listen to stories of the first settlers. I enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Sequoia trees, Mountains and Creeks. I went hiking and loved every minute of it. I met some awesome people from different countries and the whole bus load sang Happy Birthday to me...lol! Gino was an awesome tour guide with a sense of humor. I recommend this tour to anyone.
