Yosemite Overnight Super Saver: Shuttle Transportation From San Francisco Only

The Yosemite Overnight Super Saver is the premier Yosemite shuttle from San Francisco with a semi-guided experience, designed for independent travelers who want maximum value and flexibility. We handle the long drive from San Francisco, dropping you directly in the heart of the park so you can focus your energy on hiking, climbing, or photography. This is the ultimate choice for self-guided Yosemite tours, giving you the freedom to explore iconic landmarks like El Capitan and Half Dome on your own schedule without the commitment of a guided group.

This “no-frills” travel solution offers flexible durations, including 2, 3, or 4-day options to perfectly fit your itinerary. Please note that as a “Super Saver” model, this service provides efficient transit only and does not include accommodation, meals, or guided activities. You must secure your own lodging or camping reservations well in advance to ensure a seamless experience. Whether you’re chasing the perfect sunrise or stargazing in the High Sierra, this shuttle provides the reliable logistical backbone for your custom Yosemite adventure.

Additional Information About the Yosemite Overnight Super Saver

  • Services: You will be traveling with other independent visitors. Your guide will provide basic logistical information, but all sightseeing, activities, and internal travel within Yosemite are planned and executed solely by you. This tour provides transportation and the park entrance fee only. It does not include any meals or accommodation. All travelers must secure their own lodging (campsite, hotel, etc.) within or near Yosemite National Park before booking this trip, as availability is highly competitive.
  • Accommodation: Yosemite Valley Lodge is the ideal and most convenient accommodation choice for participants on this tour. While other on-site options like the Ahwahnee Hotel and Curry Village are available, guests staying there will need to utilize the park’s complimentary shuttle system to meet the tour. If the park lodging is fully booked, excellent alternative lodging can be found in nearby towns such as Mariposa and El Portal, which are accessible by YARTS. These options typically offer better pricing and availability, though they are located approximately 30–45 minutes from the main Yosemite Valley area.
  • Luggage Policy: We allow one standard carry-on bag and one personal item per person. Please note that storage space is limited, and excess baggage may not be accommodated.
  • Departure Times: Departure from San Francisco and the return departure from Yosemite are strictly scheduled. Passengers must be at the designated pickup points at the specified times; the bus cannot wait. Missed departures are non-refundable.
  • Cancellations Policy: Cancellations made between time of booking and 24 hours prior to departure are 100% refundable. If cancelled less than 24 hours prior to departure, no refund will be issued.

Yosemite Overnight Super Saver Itinerary

**Sample Itineraries: We do our best to follow our itineraries as written, but don’t control the weather (yet) and we can’t make promises about special events or traffic conditions in Yosemite. The benefit of having small groups is allowing our guides the flexibility to tailor your itinerary to best suit the needs of the group. While we guarantee that we’ll do our best to provide you with all of the highlights within this itinerary (conditions permitting), we do not guarantee them in this specific order. **

Day 1

6:00 – 11:30am: As we embark on our journey, we’ll pass by some exceptional San Francisco sights. Catch views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, Alcatraz Island and the incomparable San Francisco Skyline as we head east on the Bay Bridge. You’ll taste a piece of California’s rich agricultural hub as we pass through a slice of the Central Valley famous for specialty fruits and nuts such as almonds, walnuts, cherries, and strawberries.

11:00am – 12:30pm: We’ll continue into the mountains as we connect with the rich history of California’s gold country, passing through some of the first settlements built during the Gold Rush. Take in the earthy forest smell as we make our way to the heart of the park. Your guide will pepper in stories and historical facts about the different sights. With an intimate group, there’s plenty of time to stop along the way to take pictures with the beautiful panoramas.

12:30pm: We made it! We’ll arrive in the early afternoon at the Yosemite Valley Lodge or Curry Village; both centrally located in Yosemite Valley. You can choose to quickly stash your luggage at the front desk and meander around the valley, or grab a map and plot your route for the day. Your guides will be sure to give you a run-down on your options for activities and where to get the best eats.

Day 2, 3 or 4

7:00am – 3:30pm: Now is your time to shine! Want to hike or bike around? You’ll have options to meander or bike down paved paths, hike the trails, engage further with the park’s history at the visitor center, or visit the Ansel Adams Gallery. Make sure to keep an eye on the time to make your way to stop 7 for the 3:30 departure back to San Francisco on your return day.

3:30pm: Now is the time to kick back and enjoy the ride back West through the mountains, orchards, and fields towards the city. Enjoy the skyline of San Francisco at night as we cross the Bay Bridge and return you to your lodging.
