Yosemite & Giant Sequoias Tour - Tour Information

Yosemite Van tours spend longer in the park than the Yosemite Bus and Yosemite Train tours because it is easier to manage smaller groups while loading, unloading, and in regrouping situations.

Yosemite Bus tours spend about 3.5 hours in Yosemite compared to 5 to 6 hours in Yosemite van tours. Additionally, Yosemite Van tours are able to visit certain locations more easily than Yosemite bus tours due to the size difference. Generally Yosemite van tours are able to visit more points of interest in the park than the Yosemite Bus tours or Yosemite Train tour.

All tours visit the Yosemite valley where Half Dome and El Capitan are located but Yosemite van tours usually will visit the Giant Sequoia Grove in addition to the valley.
