Private National Parks Tours In 2021

Private National Parks Tours In 2021

Touring national Parks is one of the things that changed dramatically over the course of last year.  National parks used to be easy to access, all you really need to know is how to get there.  Once that the park gates you would simply paid admission charges and be allowed to enter the park for as long as you would like, although arrangements would need to be made if you were to use the camping areas.  The restrictions with regards to national park areas were minimal, and you can generally find support services easily accessible at different areas.  Crowds would format certain specific points that were famous as far as photo opportunities or sightseeing areas, and although these were potentially going to be the cause of waiting to get a photograph where there are not other people in the frame, this was about the extent of the inconvenience of crowds would bring.  Once the Coronavirus pandemic began to change the way that we needed to look at how national parks were visited, we found that significant reductions in staff as well as the closure of certain areas of national Parks in order to reduce crab sizes began to change how things were done.  You can no longer simply drive to the national park of your choice and pay your admission charge.  Instead, you would need to secure a pass upwards of three months in advance that will allow you admission for seven day period.  This restricted the amount of people that will be allowed into the park area to a manageable level that the reduced staff could provide services for.  It also allowed for smaller amounts of people to be gathering at the tourist locations, reducing the amount of potential transmission of disease due to large crowds.  In order for you to visit national park in 2020, you would need to go on to the website of that national or around three months in advance and secure a pass as they are released online.  On the day of release 80% of the passes would be purchased, and an additional 20% would be available at a future date.  Passes sold out quickly, ultimately compromising many people’s plans on visiting the national park that they had always dreamed about seeing.  Although there were additional opportunities to secure a pass as they came available when people turn them in, there was no assurance that you would be able to get one as there is no set schedule.

A far wiser move in 2021 than risking planning a trip to a national park without an intimate knowledge of the regulations is to simply allow for a private tour company like ours to arrange the elements for you.  Our private tours of national Parks are fully functional and operating within the scope of safety regulations of the CDC.  We are reducing the amount of people allowed in our vans, ultimately creating a private tour for four or more people.  Export national Parks during this unique time of reduced patronage, and book quickly as there are no guarantees that this will continue in the future.
