Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Day Tour
Overview
Available languages
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.

2.00Pickup time was delayed and communication came in late. Email came in at 11:02pm the night before and indicated that pick up time at 6:20am. At 6:11am, an email was sent stating pickup time at 6:50am. If we didn't check email, we would have stood on the street for half an hour to wait for pick up. The tour said one of the stop is "Tuolumme Gove of Giant Sequoias" and there was no such thing. We were so excited to see the Giant Sequoias as shown in the pictures of the tour advertisement and this portion did not happen. This is one of the reasons we wanted to take this tour: large sequoias that we have never seen in our country. The wind noise in the van was so loud that we could not hear what the guide said. After a few times telling her we could not hear, we quit listening. The tour guide was not really engaging. We took another tour the day before (booking through Viator) and had so much fun and we were disappointed going on this one.
Amazing tour of Yosemite sites

5.00Lawton 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

4.00We 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
