Itinerary
Day 1 - 9.00 am to 6.00 pm
Get collected from your hotel or campsite to spend the day exploring Yosemite's High Country. Take a hike into the Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias, where you can feel the majestic wonder of these ancient trees. Swim in the crystal clear waters of Tenaya Lake and enjoy a picnic lunch in Tuolumne meadows before being returned to your accommodation.
In the winter months, the tour will begin at noon, where you will get to explore the Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias with snowshoes.
Day 2 - 12.00 pm - 8.00 pm
Another spectacular day starts when we pick you up at noon for hiking, sightseeing and swimming in the famed Yosemite Valley. This incredible glacial valley is home to some of the renowned cliffs and waterfalls that make Yosemite National Park famous, including Yosemite Falls, El Capitan and Half Dome. Top off your experience with a delicious BBQ picnic dinner in the perfect setting along the banks of the Merced River, with the opportunity to take a dip in the fresh mountain waters.

This fantastic trip ends with a day in the beautiful Hetch Hetchy Valley with a 5-mile round trip hike along the granite Reservoir to the 1200 foot Wapama Falls. If you're feeling saucy, then we can hike even further to Rancheria Falls before our hearty hiker's lunch and a leisurely hike back.
