What you can expect

  • The Yosemite and Giant Sequoias Tour from San Jose is a day-long adventure that lets you explore the wonders of Yosemite National Park. This journey offers an enriching experience, showcasing the park's stunning landscapes, including its famous giant sequoias, breathtaking waterfalls, and iconic rock formations like El Capitan and Half Dome.

    Your tour begins with a convenient hotel pick up in San Jose. Upon entering Yosemite National Park, we'll visit iconic locations celebrated by photographer Ansel Adams. Enjoy breathtaking views at Tunnel View, featuring landmarks like El Capitan and Half Dome. After capturing these moments, we'll move closer to Bridalveil Autumn, allowing for an intimate experience with this majestic waterfall. This part of the tour offers unforgettable photographic opportunities against the backdrop of Yosemite's most famous vistas.

    After arriving at our main stop in Yosemite Valley, you will have 2 hours for lunch and exploring on your own. The free time options include hiking to Yosemite Falls, meandering through Sentinel Meadow, checking out the Ansel Adams Gallery and more.

    Your Yosemite experience stops next at El Capitan Meadow to learn more about the world’s largest granite monolith and its climbing culture. As we are leaving Yosemite Valley, we will make our final stop at Valley View which serves up a panoramic landscape framing the Merced River, El Capitan and the imposing spires of Cathedral Rocks.

    The highlight of our tour is still ahead of you as we head to the Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias. In this beautiful grove, you’ll have the chance to get up close and personal with some of the largest and oldest trees on earth.

    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.
