Yosemite National Park Day Tour with Optional Alcatraz
Overview
Join us for a full-day trip to Yosemite National Park from San Francisco. Travel in comfort through California’s Central Valley and into the Sierra Nevada foothills. Begin your adventure with a seasonal hike through a grove of giant sequoia trees—some of the oldest and tallest living things on Earth. This hike may be unavailable in winter or poor weather.
Continue with a guided driving tour through Yosemite Valley, stopping for photos at Tunnel View, Bridalveil Fall, El Capitan, and Half Dome. After the tour, enjoy up to 2 hours of free time to explore—walk to Yosemite Falls, visit the Ansel Adams Gallery, or simply relax and soak in the views.
Want more? Select the Alcatraz combo at checkout to visit San Francisco’s most notorious prison. The Yosemite tour operates on the day you book; Alcatraz takes place the following day at 12:00 PM. Your ferry tickets and the award-winning audio tour of the island are included. Return at your leisure by ferry.
