About

Yosemite Adventure Company runs guided ATV and UTV rides through the forest trails around Fish Camp, just outside Yosemite's south entrance near Bass Lake. It's one of the highest-rated outfitters in the area, and the reason shows up again and again in guest reviews: hands-on instruction, solid gear, and staff who make first-timers feel steady on a machine before the throttle opens up.

What to Expect

Before you head out, staff walk you through how to operate the ATV or UTV and outfit you with gloves, a helmet, eyewear, and a poncho. Guests describe the instruction as thorough enough that no prior off-roading experience is needed. From there it's off-road trail riding through wooded terrain — guests consistently praise the scenery, and one visitor even reported spotting a bear mid-ride, a reminder you're out in real Sierra backcountry, not a groomed track.

We had a great adventure! Our guide Lane was great. The UTV was surprisingly comfortable. Looking forward to going again.

Book the tour!! Robbie was our tour guide and he was awesome. This company does private tours so it’s just your group and the guide. He would tell us where to meet him and then take off! We got to drive solo through the woods and Robbie was right there waiting at each intersection. They tell you when to switch gears and how to navigate any tricky terrain. We booked Fresno Dome which was about a 50 miles drive through the Sierra National Forest. When you get to the midpoint you park and hike up to the top of Fresno Dome. A tough hike but short and worth it ! The view is amazing. You can see to the Pacific Coast! A must do experience when visiting Yosemite.

What a blast ! Everything was ready to go upon arrival. The staff wre friendly, knowledgeable and courteous and the ATV's were cleaned and ready to ride. We took a great 4 hour adventure and visited some great locations. Words cannot express how great "Lane" our tour guide was. He was always there keeping his eye on us yet gave us our space to have a good time. He took pictures, made suggestions and was just an overall pro. Kudos to not only Lane but to the entire YAC team. I recommend 100% and will only add that this is the fun way to see and enjoy Yosemite !!!
