Total Yosemite Experience

Take time out for a day trip into the wild beauty of Yosemite National Park from San Francisco. Enjoy the beautiful countryside and discover the raw beauty of California's most famous national park. Your journey begins with a drive through San Joaquin Valley and into the Sierra Nevada range.

In the morning, you will be driven to a giant sequoia grove (snow depth permitting), stopping along the way for a bird's-eye view of the whole valley. You can relax in the picnic area and have lunch (not included) among the giant sequoia trees. After lunch, you will have the opportunity to go on a short one-hour hike to the falls or grab a snack at the Yosemite Lodge.

You will have three to four hours to spend at Yosemite National Park, with a range of activities to suit everyone. Visit the gift shops, have a relaxing hot meal, or get food to take away and hike to the middle of the valley, where you can watch the climbers on El Capitan, take a refreshing dip in the river or get up close to the tallest waterfall in North America, Yosemite Falls. If you're lucky you may even spot a black bear.
