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.

We booked this tour last minute as we did not have a park permit and I’m so happy we did. Our tour guide, Kate Downey, was amazing, knowledgeable, warm and provided great information about Yosemite. I’d highly recommended this trip, you get the knowledge of a tour guide and the ability to create your own adventure.

We had a very bad experience. They provide very little information about how to reach them. It is not posible to contact them.., they don’t see their messages, they don’t care if you come or not, they are not a good tourist provider. They just care about taking your money. Very sad experience for my 2 young kids and us. We where lost for 2 hours in the park due to their lack of information. We could never do the tour even when we meet them when we could find them. They didn’t care to take us or give us options to join the tour. Again all they want is your money. Not worth it at all. Prepare your self take an online pass in advance and save your self from a bad experience and loose your money.

They cancelled less than 24 hours before the tour was supposed to happen. Major inconvenience. Would not recommend
