Interested in more info on Yosemite, Sierra Nevada 4-day tour in spring 2027

This is a great tour that includes visits to Yosemite, Mammoth Lakes and Lake Tahoe, plus so much more! We operate this tour June though September, with departures from San Francisco on Tuesday and return on Friday.

Could you please clarify if these travellers can each book a private single supplement room option for this tour?

Are the two travelers planning to travel on the same departure date and join the same tour, but would prefer to stay in separate rooms? If so, yes, that is possible. However, each traveler would need to book under the Single Occupancy option, as each person would have their own private room. If they select the Double Occupancy option, the pricing assumes that both travelers will be sharing the same room, which is why the rate is lower.

I'm one person traveling alone and wanted to check if I would have my own private room? I'm not interested in sleeping in a room with a stranger. Also - Is this an active tour with hikes and a lot of movement or mostly geared towards an older crowd? I'm less interested in taking pictures and more interested in being active in pretty scenery.

Yes, as a solo traveler you will have your own private room, so there's no need to share with anyone else. In terms of the experience, this is definitely an active tour. The itinerary includes several opportunities for hiking and exploring, so it's a great fit if you're looking to stay active and enjoy the scenery beyond just sightseeing.

I would like to know costs, itinerary, start place, ending place, dates etc

Our 4-day tour operates between June and September, departing on Tuesdays. Starting price: Per Person – Single Occupancy Lodging: $1,999 Start & End Location: Departure: San Francisco (Hilton Union Square – Mason St side) at ~8:00–8:15 AM. Return: San Francisco (same location) around 6:00 PM on the final day Highlights include: Yosemite National Park, Giant Sequoias, Yosemite High Country, Mono Lake, Bodie Ghost Town, and Lake Tahoe. The tour departs from San Francisco and includes a mix of guided stops, scenic viewpoints, and free time to explore.

I'll be traveling to San Francisco and would like to explore availability for the first week of May. It seems like your tour is already sold out, and I realize this is a last-minute request, but I was curious if you might have space for one person. Your tour looks awesome, and I'll be leaving from the city center in San Francisco.

We operate this tour from June to September 30th. We have availability during those dates and would love to welcome you then.

Is single room available and if so would bathroom also be private?

A single occupancy booking includes a private room and bath.

Is there a minimum number of participants required for this activity to be confirmed? In case of cancellation by the operator, what is the notice period and refund timeline?

We require a minimum of 5 participants to operate the tour. In the event that the tour cannot proceed, we will contact you approximately 7 to 15 days in advance to provide alternative options. If a refund is processed, the time it takes for the refund to appear in your account will depend on your bank or financial institution.

When is the best time to book this tour?

Booking in advance is recommended, especially during peak travel seasons.

What is the age range suited for this tour?

Our tours are suitable for various age groups, provided they are physically able to participate in the offered activities.

Are meals included in the tour package?

Meals may vary by itinerary; please check the specific details of your tour for inclusions.

I had the most amazing trip on my tour. Our guide was Jay and he was truly phenomenal. He was so informative and fun throughout and really made the whole experience special.

The guide Jaymes was excellent. The tour was run at a comfortable pace with many highlights. It was "incredibly" disappointing that the first night's accommodation (of 3) was outside the Yosemite NP. This added hours of additional travel (driving) and a lost opportunity to spend quality time in the NP. This accommodation at Yosemite Bug was very poor. Incredible Adventures needs to address this - even if the tour cost is a little more.Show more

We had a fantastic experience during our four day tour! Our tour guide and driver Lisa made sure everyone got to see and experience as much as we possibly could of Yosemite, Tahoe and the Sierra Nevadas. Every day was jam packed full of options for hiking, sightseeing, swimming in pristine lakes and hot springs and exploring everything from ghost towns to restaurants. Lisa kept us informed and on track, and made adjustments to the schedule if necessary. Thank you to Tour Radar, Incredible Adventures, Lisa and all the crew on the tour with us!!Show more
