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.
During winter months, temperatures in Yosemite can vary drastically to the ones in San Francisco. Therefore, it is recommend to wear winter clothes, especially shoes or boots with rubber soles and treads.
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.
Since there is limited to no storage within Yosemite, please make sure to only bring what you can easily carry with you. Oversized luggage will be subject to an additional $50 fee from the local operator.
Tour makes stops for breakfast, lunch, and on the trip back for dinner. Meals are not included.
For hotel pickups, please select the Hilton Union Square if your hotel is not listed.

California law requires tour guests to bring a car safety seat for all children under 8 years and under 4' 9" (1.4 meters) in height. Any guest that does not provide their child's safety seat at the time of the tour and does not inform the tour operator in advance may not be allowed to board the tour and will not be subject to refund.
Exact destinations & itinerary may differ due to weather, road conditions, and the guide's discretion.

Yosemite was magical and definitely a trip to remember! We were lucky to see snow when we were there! We had a tour guide on the way, and a different one the next day for the way back. Both tour guides Alberto and Andy were very knowledgeable not only about Yosemite but the surroundings on the drive their and back. Alberto amazed me at his energy at 5:30 in the morning, it made me feel comfortable knowing he was awake and alert for the drive! Andy inspired me in how he handled stressful situations, as one of our tour members was injured. Both guides did an amazing job, especially considering the long day of driving for them

Andy Howse was our tour guide on our return and he was very knowledgeable, great with history and so friendly and welcoming, entertained all of the silly questions we had. One of the best tour guides I’ve had on an experience like this!

The tour guides were very knowledgeable and also hospitable. In my view this trip is a better option than the day trip. You get at least two half days to explore the area - plenty of trails and activities that can keep you busy.

We love your recommendation. Scheduling an overnight in Yosemite gives you time to visit the more remote and hidden gems of the park. Glad to hear you had a great time!
