All riders on the Visalia-Sequoia Shuttles are required to have a national park entrance pass (e.g., standard 7-day entrance pass, annual pass, etc.) before entering Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Entrance passes can be purchased in advance on Recreation.gov.

Entrance Fees & Passes

Individuals traveling as a group on a shuttle entering the park who would otherwise use a single private vehicle are not required to pay a combined fee greater than the private vehicle fee of $35. These groups should purchase one vehicle entrance pass for the whole group rather than individual entrance passes for each group member. For example, a family of four should not purchase four individual passes (4 x $20 = $80), but rather should purchase one vehicle pass (1 x $35) to cover the whole group.
