Clear Kayak Tour on Lake Tahoe
We had a great time on the kayak tour. We had the whole family from grandparents, grown children and grandchildren age 3, 6, 9. Everyone had a great time. The scenery was beautiful. The pickup and drop off were great because we did not have to deal with parking and there was time to swim or play in the sand before and after being on the water. I suggest a morning tour because it looked like it was getting crowded in the area we kayaked by the time we came back to the beach. The only downside was a sore booty from sitting in the kayak for an hour. The guides were great and provided water and a snack. Great way to enjoy the lake!
