Need information on adding flights and insurance.

Once the booking has been created, we can look into booking flights for you. Insurance will be added on the Good To Go form.

Can you give the address to the meeting point? I'm not sure my GPS is finding the correct location.

The start hotel is the Golden Nugget Hotel in Las Vegas. Address: 129 E Fremont St, Las Vegas, NV 89101, United States

Can I get a single room? I'm a very light sleeper & can't get needed sleep otherwise

Yes, you can request a single supplement at an additional cost.

I am an international student on an F-1 visa. I am interested in the trip departing on March 9th. I would like to confirm whether the 2026 National Park International Visitor Surcharge is included in the fee, and whether the trip is actually available.

At the moment, there has been no formal update from the parks regarding how the new policy may apply. Once additional information becomes available, we will share an update with passengers if needed. We are continuing to monitor the situation and will communicate any confirmed changes as soon as we receive them. This trip is currently on request which means when a trip is close to departure, it may move into request mode. This means we need to check with our local team to confirm that all suppliers, including accommodation, transport, and activities, can still be secured. The process usually takes around 3–4 business days. Full payment is required to begin the request. If the request is confirmed, your place on the trip will be secured, and you'll receive your booking confirmation as normal. If we're unable to confirm the request, you'll have the option to transfer your payment to another trip or receive a full refund.

What time do we have to arrive by in order to make the first meeting?

You will need to be in Las Vegas to meet the group for an 8am welcome meeting. WELCOME MEETING TIME: 08:00 WELCOME MEETING LOCATION: Golden Nugget - Claim Jumper Restaurant. We do recommend that you arrive the night before, due to the early start

On the long drive days, what is the schedule for relief/leg stretch stops?

On the long driving days there will be plenty of opportunity to stop and stretch, get food and go to the rest room. You will be travelling in a private vehicle which gives us the luxury to amend the itinerary if anyone needs an urgent pit stop.

I am looking for a hiking trip, I do not see where there is any hiking miles per day (average) is this something you can tell me for this particular trip

This tour is a level 3 Average with some light hikes usually around an hour or two. If you have concerns we can always check with our local team if any portions have any difficult hikes.

Could you please tell me the cost of a single private room

We treat single travellers the same as the rest of the group, which is why we don't charge single supplements. We'll partner you up with a same-sex roommate to ensure you pay the same as everyone else. Don't want to share a room? No problem. Sometimes it's just more convenient and comfortable to have your own room, which is why we offer single travellers a 'My Own Room' option—a single room all to yourself at a great G Adventures price. We can look into the price of the My Own Room extra for you which is dependent on the departure date. Please let us know which departure date you are wanting to book and what your booking currency is and we can let you know!

since the trip starts in the morning I need a pre-night at the hotel. How to choose the hotel that is close to the pickup location the next morning? I don't understand this part of the trip.

You can book pre tour accommodation at the Golden Nugget Las Vegas, for an additional 10 USD per night.

Private transport - do you provide the vehicle or do we need to have a rental car

The private will be a min-van type vehicle, big enough to fit the whole group in comfortably. There will be a driver to take the vehicle from place to place.

This trip was absolutely incredible! The views were INSANE, the places we visited were breathtaking, and the hikes were amazing. Every single stop was worth it, and the landscapes were just unreal. It was such an unforgettable experience from start to finish! Jeremy was an amazing guide and really made the trip even better. I would 100% recommend this trip to anyone who wants to discover California’s incredible national parks. Honestly, it was just WOW! 🤩Show more

The tour seemed well structured regarding the places visited. Our guide was engaging and informative. The transportation van was cramped and uncomfortable, with insufficient leg room and no storage space for day-packs. The internal PA system was not good enough. With the guide also being the driver there is the tendency for reduced along-the-way comentary. We enjoyed the 13 passenger limit. Our accommodation was all good and comfortable. This style of tour would not suit everyone if they required larger seats and comforts, were of limited mobility and reduced initiative.Show more
