Adventure Travel |
Whether you’re seeking the ultimate road trip experience across the United States, interested in hiking and exploring some of the nation's premier National Parks, hoping to uncover the mysteries of an ancient Central American civilization, or just craving a bit of solitude by the sea, our destinations will inspire the intrepid and reflective alike.
Our itineraries are designed for fun-loving, independent travelers who value cooperation. We invite all travelers, from the young to the young at heart, to contribute to the unique social dynamic that is created on every Green Tortoise trip.

Yosemite! |

If you see one thing while visiting California, Yosemite National Park is it. Yosemite Valley is a truly spectacular sight to behold, with huge waterfalls, great hiking, and a variety of things to do. Our Yosemite Weekend trips visit the Valley itself, as well the Giant Sequoias, while our Yosemite 3-Day (4-night) trips offer all of this, plus an incredible contrast with stops in the Eastern Sierras, Mono Lake, and Tuolomne Meadows. |
