Yosemite 2 Day Tour - Tent Cabin Stay

ABOUT YOSEMITE

A single day is not enough to truly experience all that Yosemite has to offer. If you know you want to stay in Yosemite but still need to book your stay in the Tent Cabins, we’ve got you covered! Ride along with us and learn all about Yosemite along the way, including everything you need to know about the famous Giant Sequoias, El Capitan, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, Bridalveil Falls, and, of course, Yosemite Valley itself! Kick back and relax as we take care of getting you to your overnight Yosemite stay!

Travel and Hospitality Awards named this the best Yosemite tour from San Francisco for its jaw-dropping natural beauty. The tour has earned more 5-star guest reviews because our expert guides include the Giant Sequoias among the attractions in Yosemite Valley.

Your tour begins on the first day with a pickup at your San Francisco hotel. As we leave the City, you'll hear about the rich history and fascinating people that have made San Francisco what it is today. You'll head through the East Bay and into the San Joaquin valley as you hear about the Gold Rush, California's prolific agricultural life, and get a glimpse of the Sierra Mountain foothills as you pull in for your first rest stop approximately half-way to the park. Refuel with coffee and snacks and get ready to be amazed!

After leaving the rest stop you'll climb the foothills and enter Yosemite National Park. The first stop within the park is at the Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias! Get ready for a challenging hike to witness these ancient and amazing giants towering over the park at heights of up to 275 feet (84 meters) tall!

After your stroll among the giants, you'll head down into the Valley for the rest of your day. Keep those cameras ready! Your guide will be pointing out scenes you won't want to miss, and won't be able to forget!

Your free and unguided time begins after leaving the bus on day 1. Take one or more days to enjoy the park before you return to San Francisco. There are so many options! In spring and summer, you can hike, take a bike ride, climb some of the famous rocks of Yosemite, raft down the Merced River, catch a fish or tow, or just enjoy the stars.

Your accommodations will be at the Yosemite Tent Cabins located inside the park at the centrally located Curry Village. The canvas tent cabins are the most convenient base camp for overnight Yosemite tours. This “glamping” option offers walkable access to shops, trails and shuttle services.

Every room comes with:
- Daily housekeeping service
- ADA/Handicap access
- Heater (check availability)

On your return day, head back over to Shuttle Stop 7 where we dropped you off on day 1, and head back to San Francisco, reminiscing on your perfect trip in the heart of all that nature has to offer.
