Great Morning with Clearly Tahoe Emarld Bay Excursion.
My wife and I decided to take the longer Clearly Tahoe Kayak Tour out of Tahoe Keys Marina.
We had the 8am tour and had a great time, large boat with great views of Lake Tahoe heading to Emerald Bay, where we saw a Bald Eagle at Eagles Point and numerous Osprey.
Small snacks, drinks are provided to and from the kayaking location.
Once loaded into the clear kayak, Luke our guide was very informative as we kayaked around the bay.
Again alot of fun and sites, well worth the trip.

Great kayak tour of Emerald Bay
I highly recommend Clearly Tahoe’s Emerald Bay clear kayak tour! It was a great way to see the bay including what is below underneath the water! We saw a shipwreck and big trees that had fallen into the bay decades ago. It was a leisurely pace (not strenuous) and a couple kids were with parents. The tour guides were great and knowledgeable. They even took fantastic pictures of my husband and I and put them onto my cell phone for no additional charge! I recommend doing the earliest time slot like we did because there was no wind and the temperature was nice, hardly no other boats around and we saw some osprey birds then.

Great kayak/boat excursion!
This boat and kayak tour was so much fun! The crew Giovanni, Brad, Dennis and Maggie were professional, fun and great guides with many facts and stories about Lake Tahoe. The boat ride was smooth and the transition into the kayak was very easy. I loved paddling in the clear kayak and seeing fish and downed trees below. It was neat kayaking near Emerald Island and the Vikingsholm house. I would definitely recommend this tour! Giovanni was awesome!
