This overnight experience in Yosemite National Park is a truly beautiful experience that lets you explore the Park as well as absorb the natural surroundings and atmosphere.
We offer overnight accommodation 8 miles outside the Park.
You get picked up from your San Francisco hotel in the morning of your first day and transferred to Yosemite. Your first half of your guided tour will happen on arrival in the Park after which you will be dropped off in Yosemite for your overnight stay.
You will be responsible for making your own way to the accommodation - but our helpful guide can assist and answer any questions you may have.
You will then spend the rest of this first day at leisure to perhaps explore the Park or relax at your hotel. You will meet the tour guide again on your departure day. You will be collected from the same location where you were dropped off for your second part of your guided tour before leaving the park and your return to San Francisco.
