What to Expect...

This GPS-powered audio tour guides you through Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks over 2 to 3 hours, narrating the route via a mobile app that works offline. Starting at the Sequoia National Park visitor centre, the tour takes you past landmarks including the General Sherman Tree (the largest living tree by volume), the 300-foot granite dome of Moro Rock, and the General Grant Tree. You'll need your own vehicle and smartphone; one booking covers everyone in the car.

The app delivers pre-recorded commentary at each stop, from the Four Guardsmen sequoias and Tunnel Log to Kings Canyon Overlook and Panoramic Point. Optional extensions lead deeper into the canyon to Boyden Cavern and Roaring River Falls. Download the tour before you arrive (the park has limited cell service), and you'll have lifetime access to revisit the route whenever you like.

The self-paced format lets you pause for photos, picnics at Halstead Meadow, or detours to the Giant Forest Museum and Congress Trail around the General Sherman Tree. Visitors report that the narration covers the ecology of giant sequoias, the history of the Paiute people, and practical tips for trails including Marble Falls. Park entrance fees are separate and not included in the tour.

  • Works offline with GPS-powered audio

    The app functions without cellular service or Wi-Fi, using offline maps and location-based audio that plays automatically at each stop. Download the tour before you arrive, as the park has limited connectivity.

  • Learn about the Paiute and park history

    Audio narration covers the Paiute people who once called this forest home, alongside stories of park landmarks like the General Grant Tree, the world's second-largest tree and a designated national shrine.
