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.

First our guide, Katie, was wonderful! So friendly and full of knowledge of the entire park. This was my first trip and the entire experience was exceptional. Half dome, El Capitan, all the waterfalls, and the hiking is something not to be missed.
