Day 1 :

This 1 day combination of Yosemite & the Giant Sequoias tour from San Francisco is an excellent way to get the most out of Yosemite. We maximize the time you spend in Yosemite by starting early and traveling more efficiently in small groups. This allows us to cover the Yosemite Valley & the Giant Sequoias in one day spending more time in Yosemite than any one day tour (at least 5 hours). In the Yosemite Valley Tour we cover and generally stop at Bridalveil Falls, Inspiration Point (or Tunnel View), El Capitan, Half-Dome, Yosemite Falls, and the Yosemite Village. In the afternoon we drive to a higher altitude, and a lesser traveled part of Yosemite, for a chance to hike in the evergreen forest to see a grove of Giant Sequoia trees, the world's largest living things.
