The Experience

The tour begins at the basecamp in Groveland before heading to Glacier Point, where you stand 3,000 feet above Yosemite Valley looking down at Half Dome and the granite walls that frame the entire park. From there the route descends into the valley itself, stopping at Tunnel View and Bridalveil Falls—both accessible by paved paths that don't require scrambling or steep terrain. El Capitan, the largest rock monolith on the planet, comes into view during the valley portion of the day.

Every stop is designed around paved, accessible surfaces; there's no requirement to hike unpaved trails or navigate stairs. A guide leads the group and handles the route, so you're not managing directions or timing. The six-hour window means you're back at the basecamp by 2pm, leaving the afternoon open. Snacks and a reusable water bottle are included, along with all National Park entrance fees—the one exception is an additional fee for non-U.S. residents, which is collected when you arrive rather than at booking.

Pickup and drop-off happen from designated meeting points, and the tour is geared toward all fitness levels. Service animals are welcome, and public transportation options are available near the basecamp if you're traveling without a car.
