Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Day Tour

Overview

Available languages

English

14 hours

Mobile ticket

Explore glacially-formed cliffs, wildflower-speckled meadows, and hike to the towering Sequoias in the heart of Yosemite’s dynamic wilderness.

Immerse yourself in our day-long tour with our professional guides as they lead you through not only Yosemite Valley but also to see the ancient Giant Sequoias of Tuolumne Grove. You’ll capture the endless skylines, rock formations, and waterfalls as you enjoy an overview of how Yosemite Park’s unique landscape was formed, who came before, and how the park became the nation’s first ever protected national park. Next, strap up your hiking boots and embark on the 2.5 mile (4 km) round trip hike down to the Sequoia Grove which most day tour visitors do not get the chance to see.

With 1.5 hours of free time in Yosemite Valley you’ll also get the chance to wander through the picturesque meadows, check out the Visitor’s Center or just find a serene overlook to sit and reflect.

Lawton was an amazing guide! He was punctual, kind, and very well-informed about the history of Yosemite and the surrounding areas. Lawton also went above and beyond expectations by safely navigating our group through some unexpectedly tough weather conditions, offering helpful tips for additional travel/sightseeing opportunities, and providing friendly conversation along the way. A 10/10 guide who added to our already incredible experience of getting to see some of Yosemite's highlights -- we hope to book another trip with "Incredible Adventures" and Lawton again!
Awesome

We enjoyed the tour and the park is amazing! The part in the sequoia grove was perhaps a bit too long. It would have been nice to have more time in the valley, etc.
Fantastic

Lawton was incredible from start to finish. Sharing his extensive knowledge about the history of both San Francisco and Yosemite. We didn’t feel rushed and felt we had enough time in each place to explore and take in the views. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to this amazing National Park, admiring all its beauty. All in all, a fantastic day was had and made all the better by our wonderful tour guide. Thank you, Lawton!
