What You'll See and Do
Our Sequoia National Park Half-Day Tour is the ideal choice for those already staying inside the park, or who want to make the drive from the entrance to the lodge at their own pace. Making our way from the Wuksachi Lodge, we’ll make stops in the aptly-named Giant Forest full of majestic Sequoias. Here you’ll meet the Park’s most famous resident, the General Sherman Tree – the largest tree on the planet. Looking upwards its staggering height will take your breath away. Other stops include the viewpoint at Moro Rock with its stunning lookout, Tunnel Log, so big it’s possible to pass under by foot or by car, and Auto Log, where you can walk the length of a Sequoia giving you a different perspective on just how massive these trees truly are.
Visiting Sequoia National Park can seem like a daunting experience on your own. We pride ourselves on offering the highest quality tours and taking the stress out of navigating the Park. Skip the lines, shuttle busses, and massive impersonal groups. Our intimate tours are the ultimate Sequoia experience, featuring local guides with extensive knowledge of the Park. We’ll take you to areas few people see or would even know are there! Make the most of your Sequoia tour and maximize your experience in our comfortable air-conditioned vehicle.
At the end of the day, you won’t leave empty-handed. In addition to stunning photos and lasting memories, each guest goes home with a complementary Sequoia Seed growing kit so you can grow your own Sequoia tree!

Amazing!!! My family and I learned a lot about the giant sequoia trees and the national forest. The scenery was gorgeous and just truly breathtaking. The best was that our guides could go places that we couldn’t really drive to on our own.
Great half day tour! We thouroughly enjoyed our half day tour thanks to our guide, Jean Paul. He was friendly and knowledgable and made our tour a great experience! I would highly recommend this tour as there is alot of information you would not get if you see the various sites yourself.
