Discover cool things to do
in Yosemite National Park

A strenuous but rewarding adventure, topped off by summitting Half Dome. We had a great group and a great guide (Isaac - what a cook!). The communication was great and we would definitely use Lasting Adventures again.

Great trip, got to summit Half Dome. Scenery was amazing. Isaac was my guide and was great. He was very knowledgeable about the sites in Yosemite and prepared the best meals I’ve ever eaten in the backcountry; stir fry, scrambled eggs and bacon, smoked sausage and ravioli, and an awesome deep fried dessert on our last night out. Thanks Cecil

Absolutely incredible experience with Gabe / Wild Yosemite! We booked Gabe as our guide for a day in Yosemite this past weekend and also used his services to plan out our itinerary for the days we wouldn’t be with him—which I highly recommend. The park is massive, and it’s way too easy to waste time not knowing where to go, what order to do things in, or how long things will take. Gabe not only mapped everything out perfectly but also recommended great places to eat, scenic stops, and hidden gems we never would have found on our own. The itinerary alone was more detailed and helpful than I expected, and we got so much more out of our trip thanks to him.My husband and I went with our teenage son and his friend. One day, we ended up taking much longer on a hike than planned and were worried the boys might miss out on some of the Yosemite experiences we had talked about. Gabe came to the rescue—super flexible—and picked them up to ensure they didn’t miss a thing. When we all met up again that evening for sunset and s’mores at Glacier Point (at a private spot with a panoramic view we never would have found on our own), I could tell instantly that the boys had a blast. They did not stop talking about how much fun they had with him—for the rest of the night and the rest of the trip!What surprised me most is how Gabe went above and beyond what we expected from a guide. He stayed flexible as the boys wanted to switch things up, taking them to the spots they found most exciting—including El Capitan and a stunning hidden beach. Gabe truly knows Yosemite in a way only an expert could.And then—bonus—he’s also a skilled photographer! So we ended up with the coolest action shots of the boys and absolutely gorgeous group photos at sunset. Honestly, the value of Gabe’s services through Wild Yosemite is worth way more than what you pay. We would have never had as much fun or experienced the park as fully without him. If you’re heading to Yosemite, don’t think twice—book Gabe. You’ll never regret knowing you spent your time in the absolute best way possible!

Jarret was an amazing guide. Went above and beyond just as a matter of course. Pick up was prompt. Vehicle clean and tidy. Lunch was a highlight too. We couldn’t have asked for anything else. Would give 5***. What an amazing place made special by this tour. Would highly recommend.

Our time at Yosemite was wonderful. The views are amazing and Zeke was a fun and educational tour guide. I highly recommend Yosemite Alpine Quest YAQ ATTACK!

Our tour guide ZEKE created an amazing adventure. Learned a lot of interesting facts. Most enjoyable time at Yosemite. Thanks Zeke! I

Zeke checked all the boxes! Very personal/knowledgeable, great job overall! I would definitely recommend this experience for everyone!

Jesse and Kelsey led our group with exceptional care, attention to safety, and genuine warmth. The entire experience was thoughtfully planned — from the trail pacing to the delicious meals. Their knowledge of the park and their positive energy made all the difference. I felt safe, well cared for, and truly inspired throughout the journey. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a guided adventure with heart!

Spending the day with a professional interpretive ranger made this experience unforgettable. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Yosemite, and it showed in every story and stop. We were guided to some of the most epic and breathtaking spots we’ve ever seen. A perfect blend of adventure, insight, and awe. We highly recommend it!

The tour was amazing. Phil was the best tour guide I’ve had in years! He was so knowledgeable and was apparent how much he loved his job. Delicious lunch in Yosemite valley. I would definitely recommend this tour for the highlights of Yosemite.

We had the pleasure of hanging out with Zeke on our first day in Yosemite. We couldn't have picked a better plan. We hiked up the Mist Trail. Zeke was wonderfully flexible to with times (our teenagers weren't up for any 8am type tour). He made the hike relaxing and do-able. I honestly don't know if I would have pushed myself the the last 10% of the trek to the top of the falls without him. He brought the park to life and provided us with tidbits that helped us enjoy the awesome nature of the park. Well worth every penny (and then some).

Gabe was fun, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He tailored our trip perfectly for a family of mixed ability (!) and we saw more in one day of Yosemite than we ever could have dreamed to on our own. This is a very big Recommend! Thanks Gabe.

What an amazing place to visit. My guide took me to all of the coolest spots taught me the secrets of Yosemite. I can't imagine how much time I would have spent floundering on my own.

Jesse cooked every meal, got the permits, and made it really easy to climb the scary cables. Jesse turned a challenging and strenuous journey into a stress free, romantic vacation. We got to swim multiple times, have a campfire, see bears, rattlesnakes, and marmots, and really enjoy ourselves without feeling rushed. And he's an amazing trail chef. Getting a permit in Yosemite can be so stressful and if you're flying in from somewhere he really takes the headache out of all the moving parts and necessary supplies it takes to make a successful backpacking trip! 10/10 I can't wait to go on another trip of his.

The five day workshop was unbelievable in terms of the views, photos and what I learned from Phil Hawkins. I learned valuable information in the post-processing class as well. Phil was very patient, instructive and explained everything well.

My wife and I had a great time on our two day private guided tour. Our guide Maddie was exceptional - very knowledgeable, engaging, punctual and fun! We spent one day in the valley and one day in the higher part of the park. A great experience with nice vantage points to see many of the iconic vistas in Yosemite.Booking with Good Trip Adventures was seamless, and all communication was timely and complete. A wonderful guide and top-notch organization.
