FAQs
How many people can go on the private adventure?
You are welcome to have up to 6 people from 8 years old and up!
What are some places we will see on this tour?
Some of the major points of interest of the tour include: exploring a grove of Giant Sequoias, a bird's-eye view of Yosemite valley and landmarks from Glacier Point, and possibly time for some swimming in the valley!
A few other points of interest may be: Half Dome, Vernal & Nevada Falls, Yosemite Falls, El Capitan, Tunnel View, Bridalveil Falls, and the Merced River!
What if I want to do more or less hiking?
The trip is adaptable to your fitness and wants, as long as what you want is open and accessible! There are people who have specific hikes they want to take on that could end the day with over 13 miles of hiking or they can adjust down to 3 miles of hiking and focus more on sightseeing.
On average, there is about 6 to 8 miles of hiking, including the hike to the Giant Sequoias, the Yosemite Waterfalls, and Glacier Point Loop.
Will I be able to get souvenirs or food?
The tour includes a stop at Glacier point for ice cream and there is a small store for souvenirs there! If it is extremely important to you to stop at the valley store, it is possible, but it will cut into the daily activities due to the lines of waiting.
Do I need to tip my guide?
All guides are paid a fair and livable wage, therefore gratuity is not expected! If your guide provided an incredible experience, please feel free to tip anywhere from 5% up to 30%!
