Yosemite
is one of the most beautiful national parks in the
world. We provide several daily tours to Yosemite National
Park with a variety of transportation options. Bus tours
(luxury motorcoach), van tours, and limo services are
available daily to Yosemite from San Francisco, California.
Free hotel pickup and drop-off is included with all
of our Yosemite tours.
Yosemite
National Park is located roughly 200 miles east of San
Francisco. The travel time to Yosemite from San Francisco
is approximately 3.5 hours.
Our
Yosemite day tour by van begins with a scenic drive
across the Bay Bridge. From here, you will enjoy fantastic
views of Alcatraz Island, Fisherman's Wharf, the Golden
Gate Bridge, and the entire San Francisco Bay. We will
stop for breakfast in the Central Valley, which is famous
for it's rich volcanic soil. The Central Valley is a
booming agricultural region best known for Almonds,
Grapes, Tomatoes, Peaches and Strawberries.
After
breakfast, we will head through the East Bay and up
into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. It was here,
in 1848, that the discovery of gold by James Marshall
started the California Gold Rush. The tour passes through
some of the original Gold Towns including Mariposa.
We will eventually reach the Merced river canyon and
wind our way along the river into Yosemite National
Park.
Around
10:30am, you will arrive in Yosemite National Park.
Your tour guide will narrate your sightseeing journey.
Yosemite is home to North America's five highest waterfalls
including, Yosemite Falls, Ribbon Falls and Sentinel
Falls. The valley tour includes stops at the famous
Half Dome, Cathedral Rocks and the 3500 ft El Capitan.
El Capitan is a favorite rock climbing location for
experts from around the world. This full day tour includes
over 5- 6 Hours inside Yosemite National Park.
Yosemite
is open year round but as you might imagine with any
mountainous area conditions and sights can vary depending
on the time of year. Waterfalls are strongest in late
winter, springtime and early summer. The weather is
warmest between May and October. The rock formations
and cliffs are arguably at their most beautiful when
snow covered in winter and springtime. The best time
of year for spotting rock climbers is between May and
October. Whatever time of year you choose to visit the
park we hope you'll be impressed with the grandeur of
the Valley. If you have any questions please contact
us.
