Activities
Unfortunately we do not have the funds to pay for all the activities
so for the activities we mention that require an extra charge this
will be stated.
Some of the activities will also require booking, all information
is listed at the bottom of this page.
If you're coming up on the Friday, you could also do some of the
water sports then, or mountain biking. Water skiing lessons are
available on the Friday but they are expensive! We'll probably just
do a bit of exploring the local area, setting up camp and making
a huge camp fire.
Saturday 23th May
This day is very much up to you, we have morning activities available
in the Yosemite park and are planning to spend the afternoon at
the Lake next to the campsite.
The activities at Yosemite include:
- Mountain biking ($20 per day or $5.25/hour)
- Mirror Lake walk, 3-4 miles of pictureseque countryside
- Horse riding, 2 or 4 hour rides through the park ($51 or $67)
- Yosemite Bus Tour, informative and showing some of the best
scenery
The afternoon activities at the lake include:
- Luxury Patio Boat hiring ($25 per person for boat, gas, BBQ,
tubes and wakeboards)
- Tubing
- Wake boarding
- Jet skiing (2 seater for about $99/hour plus about $30 gas).
- Motor boating ($70 for 4 people)
- Paddling around in canoes, kayaks and paddle boats ($19/hour.)
For more details or to make a booking for jet-skiing, motor boating,
canoeing, kayaking or paddle-boating, have a look at the marina's
web site at http://www.basslakeboatrentals.com
or call 1-800-585-WAVE. We'll be at the marina from 2pm to
7pm so make your booking for somewhere in that time period. We will
most likely book a large patio boat for 16 people then leave it
up to individuals to book whatever other activities they want to
do.
Sunday 24th May
We thought we would steal you away from the lake for a day to see
what we are all going on the trip for, the natural wonder that is
Yosemite. There is no better way of exploring this place than by
your own feet (alright stop the moaning), so again we have a couple
of suggestions for you:
- Strenuous all day hike, with some awesome views and a real sense
of achievement on completion.
- Valley floor walk, much less strenuous and for the main part
much flatter. Having said that it still contains some of the best
views of california - take you cameras with you!
- Mountain biking ($20 per day or $5.25/hour)
- Horse Riding, with 2, 4 and 8 hours rides available ($51, $67
and $94 respectiveley)
Meet back at the campsite for evening festivities celebrating
our achievements from 7.30pm onwards.
