Discover Yosemite Tours

Let Discover Yosemite Tours make your visit to Yosemite both relaxing and unforgettable. We’ll do the planning, pay the fees, feed you and transport you through the phenomenal grandeur of this national treasure. And after a day with our exceptional guides, you’ll have a much deeper appreciation of what you’ve seen than if you’d travelled on your own. You’ll learn about Galen Clark, the “Father of Yosemite,” his friend John Muir and other unusual characters who made Yosemite what it is today. You’ll know what forces shaped this incredible landscape, the difference between a Ponderosa and a Jeffrey Pine and something about lives of our bears, coyotes and other wildlife.

Testimonials

My family spent a week at Tenaya and had the time of our lives. The lodge was full of activities and helpful advice. We have great memories and pictures from the Tenaya and surrounding areas-it is near everything we wanted to do. We rafted, went horseback riding, rode the train and went to Bass Lake. We will be back!
