Yosemite Family Adventures

What our guests have said about our Yosemite family programs:

“Great experience, great staff, great service.”

“My daughter and I had an EXCELLENT adventure with this tour! We saw the most amazing sights, we are still overwhelmed with how far we actually backpacked in just 4 days, and we can’t wait to come back and do another adventure with this amazing group of people!”

“Our family (my wife and I and two daughters in their early twenties) went on a custom 5-day/4-night Yosemite camping trip organized by Lasting Adventures. This was a great way to experience Yosemite and all of us enthusiastically recommend Lasting Adventures.”

“This trip was fantastic and Lasting Adventures was perfect for us. I would book with them again with complete confidence of a great trip.”

“My family (three adults and two nine year olds) took a 7.5 mile hike with Lasting Adventures at Yosemite in late July 2013. Our guides, Camber and Rory, were terrific. They were personable, friendly and very knowledgeable about the park, our hike and the flora and fauna.”

“My wife and 4 kids joined Scott and Braden for a full day hike and then spent an evening going to a “secret” cave. My kids loved it and both Scott and Braden were very engaging with my guys (ages 10,12,13,17) as well as aware of each child’s hiking capabilities.”

“This Lasting Adventure helped me, help my daughter and I will be forever thankful for the gift.”

Trips can be private for just your family, or we can schedule you together with additional clients. When scheduling privately, and as discussed with your family, we can provide an additional Guide for a nominal charge. In some cases we may also assign a Junior Guide (age 16-18) who is learning and growing within our program.

Feel free to register you family for any day trip and/or backpacking trip which you find most appealing. As always you can contact us for a consultation in which we can help advise on any custom adventure. In so doing, we will assess your family based on ages, personal fitness level, and past Yosemite experiences if any. After selecting which Yosemite highlights your family would enjoy to experience, we will then work with you to design an itinerary that offers personal rewards through a bit of challenge. This experience is guaranteed to provide memories that will last a lifetime!

Although we can design any trip to best meet the needs and demands of all family members, below are some sample favorite choices for families. Please feel free to also contact us to design a custom adventure package for your family.
