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.
As tour sizes vary, transportation is in a 15-passenger van or up to a 40-passenger tour bus
Tour makes stops at approximately 8:30am for breakfast, 1pm for 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 may not be allowed to board the tour and will not be subject to refund.

Sure the day is long, but I had a wonderful experience. Gino was a great driver and guide- he was knowledgeable and shared a lot of dad jokes that went over many peoples heads lol. Yosemite itself was amazing!! Of course 2 hours in the valley is not enough but for a day trip it’ll do. I liked the little hike to see the giant sequoia but there weren’t as many as I thought. Gino gave us 1h20m to do the hike and although I did it in less than an hour, I think this is a good time so you don’t have to rush. I would recommend!

We had an amazing time and seen so many beautiful views. Our trip was fantastic and Glenda was so knowledgeable of the surroundings. She had a sense of humour and always making sure we were all counted before we left. She made sure we wasn’t cold or too warm and gave us plenty of ty of rest stops. I was a little late back due to my medical needs walking from Sequoia tree, she still waited. Lovely trip and 100% recommend this tour provider again. Thank you
