Travel from San Francisco to Yosemite in a bio-fueled mini-coach with an English-speaking guide. Expect a long but scenic day, a narrated Yosemite Valley tour, stops at Tunnel View and major landmarks, plus three hours to walk, picnic, or explore independently.
“The guide was very friendly and kept giving us historic and fun information”
Take the Yankee Freedom III from Key West to Dry Tortugas National Park for a full day of Fort Jefferson, beaches, snorkeling, and open-water views. Breakfast, lunch, gear, and the park fee are included. Guides such as Hollywood, Dan, and Ben bring the fort’s past to life.
“Great operation, boat crew and amazing time at the park. You will enjoy it! Just be prepared for the downtime on the ferry there and back.”
Leave Jackson or Teton Village for a full day across Grand Teton and Yellowstone. Your English-speaking guide, such as David, Luke, Joe, or Shane, leads you to Old Faithful, Yellowstone’s waterfalls, geyser basins, wildlife areas, and picnic stops in a small group or private van.
“Was a great outing with Shane, an interesting and informative guide. No complaints!”
