Take a tour that lets you immerse yourself in the park. Our guides are master naturalists, botanists, geologists, historians, and - most importantly - relentlessly curious! This is not just a sightseeing tour, it's a day all about learning and connection.
We’ll head into the park, stopping along the way to take in views of the iconic rock formations, spot wildlife, and learn about the park’s natural and human history. Stops today include Wawona, the Pohono Trail by Tunnel View, Bridalveil Falls, Cook’s Meadow, Mirror Lake, Curry Village, Yosemite Falls, and El Capitan. As you breathe in the deep air, your private guide will share fascinating information about the park’s flora, fauna, and history.
Groups are capped at 8 hikers. If we don't meet the minimum number of spots booked, registrants will be offered an option to make the tour private for an additional charge or cancel for a full refund.
