Yosemite Valley Small Group Orientation Tour

Overview

Leave your car outside the park and take our eco-friendly guided transportation instead. With departures from both Highway 120 & Highway 140, seeing Yosemite National Park has never been easier.

After picking you up from our partner hotels on Highway 120 (Groveland, CA) or Highway 140 (El Portal, CA), we will drive approximately 45 minutes to reach Yosemite Valley. On the way, you'll hear about the history and geology of Yosemite National Park before stopping for photos at El Capitan. Before being set free for a day of hiking and exploration, our expert guides will provide a park orientation & hiking briefing so you'll be prepared to hit the best trails and find the best viewpoints.

Once you've hit the trails, taken a dip in the Merced River and gotten all the photos of Half Dome and El Cap you could desire, we will head back to your original pickup location to drop you off.

This was our first trip to Yosemite. Jeremy went above and beyond to ensure that we had a fantastic experience. Every stop seemed to impress us more and more.

I loved that the tour bus was air conditioned, the time allotted for each destination was spot on, and the tour guide was very clear and communicative with instruction

We were a group of 5 and forgot to book park reservation tickets in advance so we booked this tour super last minute to make sure that we'd be able to enter the park. I had booking issues with GetyourGuide and the person I called from Incredible Adventures was incredibly helpful and stayed with me on the phone for a long time past business hours to help me resolve my issues and make sure my family and I got into the park despite the last minute booking. As for the tour itself, our guide was Kate D. She was amazing! Incredibly knowledgeable about the park and organized. She was super energetic, provided really good background information about the park and really encouraged everyone to ask questions. She even took us on an additional pit stop at the end of the day which was great. I really recommend Kate as a tour guide! Thank you so much!
