Itinerary

Pass by

Visit historic Camp Richardson a spectacular lakeside resort located in South Lake Tahoe, California, offering lakeside lodging, full-service marina during the summer months, cross-country ski resort during the winter, and beach side dining year round. There's time to stop at the Beacon restaurant for the famous "Rum Runner!" served beach side.

Pass by

A small sheltered section on the west shore, the Emerald Bay State Park is one of the loveliest areas of Lake Tahoe. Emerald Bay is surrounded by forested hillsides of glacier-carved granite and dotted with a tiny islet at its center. Because the bay is slightly shallower than the rest of Lake Tahoe, the waters take on a striking blue-green color. Along the rugged shoreline of Emerald Bay are serene hiking trails with breathtaking panoramic vistas.

Pass by

Vikingsholm - On the shores of Emerald Bay is a surprising landmark, Vikingsholm Castle, a marvelous example of 9th-century Scandinavian architecture. There will be time to get off the boat and tour the grounds.

Pass by

Beatiful DL Bliss State Park

Pass by

This park extends along Lake Tahoe for nearly two miles, with densely wooded forests of aspen, fire pine, and juniper trees. The property was owned by the wealthy financier Isaias W. Hellman and later by his daughter, Florence Hellman Ehrman, from 1897 until 1965. The family's opulent vacation residence, the Hellman-Ehrman Mansion was completed in 1903. Designed as a summer home, the casual yet elegantly rustic mansion was equipped with the most modern conveniences of the time. The estate stands in a tranquil pine and cedar grove on 2,000 acres of woodlands. The grounds include a flower garden with a gazebo, which is often used as a wedding venue.

Pass by

As seen in the movie Godfather part 2 you will see the actual house and boat house.

Fun boat day

We had so much fun on the boat. Bryan was a great captain. We saw lots of the lake and swam in beautiful water. Such a great way to spend the day and learn more about the lake!

A simply great day out...

A great day out, Bryan was so friendly and knew so much about the lake and the surrounding countryside, nothing was too much trouble, beautiful boat, snacks and drinks included, he even drove us back to where our car was parked (which was over a mile away due to a very busy weekend at the marina) :-)

Great way to see Lake Tahoe!

Bryan, our captain, was wonderful! Very accommodating, laid back, but extremely informative! We enjoyed learning about the history of all the stops along the way and hearing stories about some of the different passengers he has had on the boat.

Wonderful afternoon on the lake :)

We went out on the water for a half day tour with Bryan & he did a wonderful job of hitting the highlights of South Lake Tahoe & providing interesting details about the area. He was very knowledgable & friendly. We would highly recommend his tour to others & would consider doing it again on a future visit!
