Yosemite National Park Small-Group Tour From San Francisco

Begin your adventure with a convenient pickup from select San Francisco hotels, then relax aboard a comfortable minibus as you head east. Your first stop is a hike among massive giant sequoias—redwoods so old and large that some trunks measure up to 40 feet (12 meters) across. Next, continue into Yosemite Valley, pausing at Tunnel View for an iconic snapshot that frames Bridalveil Fall, El Capitan, and Half Dome all in one awe-inspiring vista. Up close, marvel at the might of El Capitan— the largest exposed granite monolith on Earth—where expert climbers sometimes scale its sheer walls. Nearby, you’ll spot the thunderous Yosemite Falls, North America’s tallest waterfall, split into upper and lower cascades. Afterward, enjoy some solo time to explore: stroll along scenic paths, take more photos at the base of Yosemite Falls, or visit Yosemite Village for lunch (own expense). Rejoin your guide at the designated meeting spot for the ride back to San Francisco, with a quick stop for refreshments in the Central Valley. Your full-day trip concludes with drop-off back at your starting point.
