DESCRIPTION:

 

This Yosemite 2 Day Tour Only package is ideal or a quick vacation in the wilderness. This tour from San Francisco is a wonderful way to explore Yosemite National Park, especially explore the places that you wouldn't able to with a tour group! Yosemite accommodation is not actually included this Yosemite 2 Day Tour Only option, this package includes your 2 day entrance fee into the park.

Customize your 2- day tour to Yosemite National Park from San
Francisco by booking your own hotel accommodation. Enjoy free time to enjoy the
park’s wilderness, towering granite cliffs, Giant Sequoias and awe-inspiring waterfalls.

Our 5-star tour will introduce you to the
many summertime and wintertime activities so don’t miss the history,
geology and wildlife that make Yosemite Valley the jewel of the U.S.
National Parks.

Your Yosemite Giant Sequoia Tour begins on your
outbound day with a pickup at your hotel, then heads east crossing through
California’s fertile San Joaquin Valley and into the rocky Sierra Nevada
mountains.

Your heart (and cameras) will be racing as you enter Yosemite Valley and enjoy a stop at Tunnel View.
Take a few moments for fantastic photos with El CapitanHalf Dome and Bridalveil Falls as your backdrop.

Your free and unguided time begins after leaving the vehicle at
Stop #7 (Valley Lodge) to spend a few hours enjoying the Yosemite Valley’s many
attractions. As the afternoon gets late, you will want to get on the YARTS bus
and make your way to check into your separately booked hotel.











Take one or more days to enjoy the park before your return day. In
spring and summer choose from hiking, biking, rock climbing, rafting, fishing
or nighttime stargazing (activities not included). 


On
your return day to San Francisco, meet our tour vehicle at Stop #7 (Valley
Lodge) at the time in our confirmation email
.

After boarding the vehicle for the trip
back to San Francisco, the highlight of our tour is still ahead 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. You won’t doubt for a second that these are the largest living
creatures on the planet. No picture does them justice but that should not keep
you from trying!

In winter,
when conditions on the Tuolumne Grove trail are snow covered or unsafe, we
substitute this experience with other attractions.
 

We’re so confident that our overnight Yosemite Valley Tour from
San Francisco will amaze—it’s backed by a Satisfaction Guarantee.

Note: If you are not staying at one of the
hotels within Yosemite Valley, bring with you what you can easily carry since
there is very limited bin space on the tour vehicle or the YARTS shuttles.

Know Before You Go: 

·        
A $50 handling fee will be charged for any luggage item larger
than a carry-on brought on the tour bus.















If you're not staying at one of the Yosemite
Valley hotels, please be aware that there is no public storage available in
Yosemite Valley.
