Itinerary
Day 1
San Francisco/Yosemite National Park
The adventure begins this morning with the drive to Yosemite National Park. Along the way stop for some fresh produce at a farmer’s market in the central valley. Once in the park hike to Tuolumne Grove to see massive Giant Sequoias. Finish the day with a stop to see El Capitan and Bridalveil Fall en route to your camp for the night.
Day 2
Yosemite National Park
Yosemite Village is a great starting point for launching into your adventure. Your CEO will help you get oriented to visit the Ansel Adams gallery, Ahwahnee Museum and the Yosemite Visitor Center. Here you can start a valley hike or catch a free shuttle around the park.
Day 3
Yosemite National Park
Today is all about getting active and exploring the landscapes of Yosemite. Head out on a hike to Vernal or Nevada Falls or opt to rent bikes and cruise around the valley.
This park is a hiker’s paradise filled with different options for every skill level. From miles of trekking to short walks featuring amazing views, you won’t have a hard time finding a trail to set out on and enjoy. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife and make sure to take plenty of pictures. In the evening relax around the fire and swap stories with your group.
Day 4
Yosemite National Park/Venice Beach
After the forests of Yosemite the beaches of southern California will be a welcome change for some time to relax and recharge. So suit up, grab a towel, find a volleyball, and live out those California beach fantasies with your friends.
Day 5
Venice Beach
Live the California dream as you wake up to the distant sound of waves crashing against the sand. Then, suit up and get ready for your surf lesson where you'll learn a thing or two about what it takes to make riding those waves look so easy.
Afterwards, enjoy free time on Venice Beach to lounge in the sun, walk out to the pier, or find a beachfront cafe with a table outside for some people watching. Or choose to rent bikes or surf boards and continue the adventure. Your only dilemma today should be deciding which burrito place you want to eat at.
Day 6
Venice Beach
Departure Day. Please book onward travel no earlier than 12pm.

Customer reviews & ratings
It was the best trip! I?ve been wanting to go to Yosemite for years and this trip was the perfect trip To do that! The hikes were amazing especially getting to go up to Yosemite point, I have no complaints at all about the trip! Really fun experience with great activity?s
Katie Sep, 2024 VerifiedThe G adventures trip to Yosemite and LA was everything I hoped it would be. I got to meet new people, experience challenging hikes in a beautiful setting and get a taste of beach life and surfing in LA. From the moment I met with the group everything was stress free. It was great to be able to travel with the group on a minibus and not have to worry about driving myself, whilst also getting to meet other people. The Tour CEO was brilliant in letting me do the hikes I wanted to in Yosemite, meaning I could explore how I wanted but also still socialise with the group before and afterwards.
