Take a tour that lets you immerse yourself in the park. Our guides are master naturalists, botanists, geologists, historians, and - most importantly - relentlessly curious! This is not just a sightseeing tour, it's a day all about learning and connection.
This tour includes short hikes to Taft Point and the Fissures and Sentinel Dome, a visit to Glacier Point, and a short hike in Mariposa Grove either at the start or end of the day. You'll be covering about 6 miles in total throughout the day on mild to moderate trails and will be taking in huge diversity of landscapes - many of which include 360 views of the park from above.
Groups are capped at 8 participants. If you're booking more than 4 spots, please inquire about a private tour. If we do not meet the minimum number of spots booked, registrants will be offered an option to make the tour private for an additional charge or cancel for a full refund.

Taft Point, California, United States We'll hike out to Taft Point, a short hike that affords absolutely amazing views of the Yosemite Valley. The last part of our hike will truly test your nerve as you step over the fissures - massive cracks in the granite under our feet - and then walk right up to the edge of the vertical cliff face. Not feeling like testing your fear of heights? No sweat, you can hang back and take in the views far from the edge! 120 minutes
Sentinel Dome, California, United States Our next stop is a hike up Sentinel Dome. Most of the hike is a mild uphill, but the last few hundred feet is a scramble to the top of this unique formation.

My fiance and I loved this day! It was super cool to see Yosemite from a whole new perspective. We loved the hikes that our guide chose for us which really let us see some amazing views. Along the way, they were constantly sharing about the interesting ecosystems we were seeing and telling us stories about the park history. It was a great way to go deeper into the park - just what we were looking for!
