Take a day trip from San Francisco to Yosemite National Park, described as the crown jewel of the country's many splendid national parks. You will be guided on a coach tour to highlights such as Bridalveil Falls, Tunnel View, El Capitan, and Yosemite Falls, with a stop for a 1-mile (1.6-km) walk into a grove of giant sequoias*.
Our vans only take 15 passengers, so we are able to stop at more places with less time for loading and unloading of passengers.
*weather permitting, and the hike is not recommended for people with health issues
Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller
Service animals allowed
Public transportation options are available nearby
Specialized infant seats are available
Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
Children must be accompanied by an adult
Car seat required for children 8 years old and under; not provided
The trip is accessible for most of the tour. However, at the end of the day, we go on a hike to see the giant sequoias. This is NOT advised for people with back, heart or knee problems. It is also not wheelchair accessible. Unfortunately, this is only way to see the sequoias.
There is a possibility that the Giant Sequoia hike will not be available due to winter weather conditions.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

The trip to Yosemite was fantastic and our tour guide Stephen was excellent. The film he showed on our way there regarding the people who have climbed El Capitan was great. Sadly, there was an incident at Sequoia National Park and the park was closed on July 21st the day of the tour so we stayed in Yosemite and didn't go to Sequoia.
