Explore Yosemite’s waterfalls, granite landmarks, and giant sequoias on a two-day San Francisco tour with time to roam at your own pace.

About this tour

Trade San Francisco’s city streets for Yosemite’s granite cliffs, waterfalls, and towering sequoias on a two-day escape with an overnight stay in the park. This Yosemite National Park and Giant Sequoias tour pairs transportation from San Francisco with time to explore at your own pace.

After the journey into Yosemite, take in landmarks including El Capitan, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, and Bridalveil Fall. You’ll have free time to hike, bike, and discover the valley, plus the chance to walk among giant sequoias in Tuolumne Grove when trail conditions permit. In winter and other periods of unsafe snow or ice, the grove hike may be replaced with additional time in Yosemite Valley. Geo-based audio guides are available in eight languages, adding context as you explore. Accommodation and meals are not included, so plan those separately; the tour makes stops for meals along the way.

Choose this Yosemite National Park and Giant Sequoias tour for a flexible way to experience the park’s famous scenery and quieter forest trails. Bring only what you can carry, dress for changing mountain weather, and get ready to make the most of two days in Yosemite.

How the score works and rating distribution in San Francisco
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 5.2.
