Clear kayak lake tahoe

This was a great experience from the booking, early and clear communication about meeting, parking, and preparation. Our driver of the shuttle was very informative about the tour and highlights of Lake Tahoe with points of interest and dining options. Our guide Daniel was great. Informative about the lake and paced the trip to our group. The kayaks were very sturdy with no fear of tipping. The views through the kayak and lakeside were stunning.would recommend 100 percent!!

More Waiting Than Kayaking

It wasn't really a tour. We spent a lot of time waiting. Our tour was scheduled to start at 11:00 a.m., but we didn't get on the water until noon. Once we were on the water, we spent the vast majority of our time waiting for people to jump off Bonsai Rock and take photos while the rest of the group sat and waited. Once everyone was done, we simply paddled back. If you're only interested in jumping off Bonsai Rock and taking photos, then this tour is for you. However, if you're looking to kayak, explore the lake, and learn about the area, this tour isn't it.
