When you’re staying on the California coast, it can be difficult to visit the state’s inland highlights without hiring a rental car or cramming into a crowded tour bus. This full-day private tour from San Francisco takes the hassle out of organizing a trip to one of those highlights, the Yosemite National Park. Take a luxury SUV from your hotel or cruise ship direct to Yosemite, and spend the day exploring landmarks like El Capitan, the Half Dome and, if the seasons allow, the Yosemite Falls.

• Plenty of photo ops on your drive through the Central Valley and Sierra Foothills
• Learn more about the National Park’s hidden gems from your private guide
• Take free time during lunch to get food and buy souvenirs at Yosemite Lodge
• Option to extend your tour to visit the Giant Sequoias at Tuolumne Grove
