Are we expected to carry all our belongings with us, or is gear transported between campsites? I ask because I have a minor issue with my right shoulder—while I can comfortably carry a day pack, I wouldn't be able to manage anything heavy.

We tow a trailer on the tour where you can safely store your belongings. The trailer is locked when we leave camp; however, please note that we are not responsible for any lost or stolen items. You'll only need to carry a small day pack with the essentials during the hikes, so you won't have to manage any heavy gear between campsites.

how long will the hikes be every day?

Our guides will offer the group a variety of options for activities each day. You can choose which hikes and activities are appealing to you. They can range from 1-2 miles to longer depending on which options you choose.

do you have any dates that has all female traveler?

While we don't have a tour exclusively for female travelers on Monday, August 4th, 2025, we do want to assure you that our Yosemite Escape Camping Tour is a welcoming experience for all. Although the tour is mixed-gender, we always separate tent accommodations by gender, so women share tents with women, and men with men.

I'm visiting from New Zealand and want to do a 3-day hike, but the only days I have free are the 30th of August to the 1st September. Experienced tramper, so happy to be semi-guided if that helps

The trip that you have listed is not a 3-day hike, but rather a 3 day experience. We stay at a campground just outside the park and we do day hikes in Yosemite. If you are looking for something overnight in the back country, this would not be the experience you are looking for. If you have a plan, we could provide transportation to the park.

Are there discounts available for group bookings?

Yes, booking as a group can provide per person cost benefits, especially for groups sharing tents.

Is a passport needed for domestic travelers within the US?

No, a passport is not required for domestic travelers within the US.

What is included in the tour package?

The tour includes complimentary pickup and drop-off, narrated guided tour, park entrance fees, meals as specified in the itinerary, all camping equipment, and transportation in a biofuel mini-coach.

Is there any possibility of this being offered also the week of Oct 21st?

Our last available date in 2024 for this tour is the October 14th. Unfortunately we will not be opening up further dates for booking at this time.

Do we also have to carry our own tents and sleeping bags?

For this tour we have the option for either camping (we provide the tent) or Lodging. You can bring your own sleeping bag or you can rent one with us, there is a cost of $30 per person.

How are dietary restrictions handled on the tour?

Please inform us of any food allergies or dietary restrictions so we can make appropriate arrangements to accommodate you.

The Yosemite Camping & Hiking experience was absolutely amazing and unforgettable! I had such a great time and truly loved every moment of it. Yosemite is easily one of the most stunning places I’ve ever been — the scenery is incredibly beautiful and pristine. The tour itself was fantastic. Our guide, Jonathan, was excellent — knowledgeable about the history of the park, calm, and very capable throughout the entire trip. I felt safe, comfortable, and happy the whole time. Honestly, there wasn’t a single downside to the experience. Everything was perfect!Show more

This camping trip was the perfect way to experience Yosemite for the first time. Incredible Adventures was very quick to respond to questions before the trip started. Our guide showed us how to set up and take down our tents during our trip. The hikes were all self-paced with the guide accompanying the slowest hiker. We were being informed of our itinerary as the day went on (if possible even accommodated to wishes), and also did a quick briefing of the next day, at night. We were able to modify the routes to our abilities, if needed. Our guide Noah did a great job of sharing the history of our surroundings, answering questions and making the best of our time there by making us feel safe and motivating everybody so each one of us could enjoy the beautiful views and get the full experience of Yosemite in those short three days. Noah was a awesome guide!Show more

1.Not very friendly for people who was the first time for camping. No instructions on how to build up a tent. 2.Very packed schedules. I appreciated the nice view that the tour guide took us to see but lack of accommodating. I will suggest that giving us different options to choose where we want to go and make it more flexible for us. 3.At the end of the trip, we were told that tipping is a culture in America and minimum of how much we have to tip on this tour which was not very comfortable for foreigner like me to hear because that sounds like we planned to skip the tips. For me, tipping is based on how good is the service that you provide. Compared to the other tour I took in US, I don’t really recommend this one. :)Show more

Hello Jian, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback for us. We are sorry that the tour did not meet your expectations. You mentioned a packed schedule, we like to make the most of the time that we have in Yosemite and the days are busy! It is a very large area and so much to see an do and we want to showing you as many highlights in the park as we can. Tipping is apart of the culture here in the U.S. but it is based on your discretion. Thank you again and safe travels. Laura Incredible Adventures Sales and Product Manager
