Had an excellent hike while visiting South Lake Tahoe this summer! Enjoyed spectacular views with several photo opportunities. Tired by the return but definitely worth it!
Thanks, Teresa! We appreciate the shout-outs! :) Tahoe Outdoor Adventures in South Lake Tahoe
Had the best time on my sunset hike with Alex. The hike itself wasn't too difficult, so it felt relaxed and enjoyable the whole way. Alex took us to this beautiful hidden spot we would have never found our own and the views from there were just so pretty as the sun went down. Highly recommend!
Thanks, Lindsey! It was great having you out on trail with us! -Tahoe Outdoor Adventures in South Lake Tahoe
Do. It. Wonderful guides, awe-inspiring views from hidden vistas, exceptional communication with them through the booking process, truly authentic and worth every penny. This is a great activity for families with teenagers. We have been on several hikes as a family of 5, but we’ve never done anything like this before. Shout out to Megan, our fearless and fun leader!
We love this review and can't thank you enough for taking the time to write such an awesome review!-Tahoe Outdoor Adventures in South Lake Tahoe
Guide was flaky, he had no teeth was dirty and tripping all over the place. We never received any photos that he supposedly took. This is our 1st disappointing experience with Trip Advisor. We requested a refund and to date have never received it.
We have recordings of this same guest stating he had a good time on the tour. Other guests who were on the exact same tour left 5-star reviews. We believe this review is a fraudulent attempt to obtain a refund rather than a fair or accurate account of the experience. The comments about our guide’s physical appearance are both inaccurate and completely inappropriate. Criticizing someone’s appearance — rather than the actual quality of the tour — is not constructive feedback. It is personal, degrading, and in poor taste, especially on a platform used by families. As for the claim that our guide was “dirty,” we would simply note that trail guides who work daily in the forest on dirt trails sometimes end up with occasional dirt on them. If a guide looks spotless on a tour, it usually means they don't work often, or have enough fun to be called a guide. That is part of the job when you are actually out on the trail with guests, on the dirt trails. We also have documentation of positive comments made during the outing itself. We stand behind the professionalism of our team and the quality of the experiences we provide. Guests looking for an accurate representation of Tahoe Outdoor Adventures will find that reflected in the consistent 5-star feedback across our reviews.
Rob was an energetic guide! He really knows the trails and places to be for incredible photo opportunities of the sun setting cycles. Be ready to hike down in the dark wearing headlamps so you stay up high til the last fading light!
Thanks, Bonnie for this lovely review! Glad your experience was fun and exciting with Rob- he always adds a little more adventure to the regular hikes for sure.. :)
Tent our trail master was great. I'm 54 basic level of fitness and balance and did an amazing thing with my adult boy in their 20s. At 1st it was like, we are climbing WHAT???. Then Trent broke it down for me and assured me I could do it 1 step at a time, we could take breaks along the way, to catch my breath and I shifted my mind set and BAM we climbing a mountain!
Wooohoo! :) This is so awesome, Suzana..We LOVE hearing such glowing feedback from our guests, it truly makes our day and fuels our passion for what we do. The fact that you are a rock/mountain climber now is beyond bad ass and we couldn't be any more stoked to hear you say it-thanks to Trent the trailmaster for sure! Come back and see us again! <3 Tahoe Outdoor Adventures Crew
Adventurous fun experience! Trent was an amazing guide. There is a few technical areas but Trent explained the route clearly.
Thanks so much, Tammy! :) We're proud of you for choosing and accomplishing our more challenging version!
It was a bit challenging but there were breaks along the way that made it very doable!! Our guide Trevor was phenomenal
Thank you so much, Anne! We're glad you all had a great time with **Tahoe Outdoor Adventures** and your awesome leader, Trevor! :) and that the breaks made the hike very doable. We are super proud of you for being a bad a$$ either way. Usually our trips are on the moderate side, and we definitely try to coordinate with you to customize the pace and difficulty so it fits your group in a fun way for everyone. Trevor will be thrilled to hear your kind words—he’s one of our favorites! We hope to welcome you back soon for another adventure! -Tahoe Outdoor Adventures Team
We my wife, 20 year old son and me) loved this more than we ever imagined! We are fairly proficient hikers so we weren’t looking to be blown away, but the trial is amazing and the views are spectacular! Our guide, Trent, was not only knowledgeable about the trail and area, but he was a genuine nice guy who took great care of us! We will definitely be doing this again! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you, your wife, and your 20-year-old son had such an amazing experience with Trent and our Tahoe Outdoor Adventures team—it means the world to us that the trail exceeded your expectations, even as experienced hikers. Trent will be so happy to read this—he loves sharing his knowledge of the area and making sure every guest feels well cared for. We're already looking forward to welcoming you back for another adventure soon! Thank you again for choosing **Tahoe Outdoor Adventures**—safe travels and happy hiking!
Trent was great, very informative and friendly. He was extremely patient with me getting up the mountains. My only complaint was the emails from the company that included directions, they weren’t very clear on where to meet up and the links didn’t work. But we found it eventually and it ended up being an amazing view!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review! We're thrilled to hear that Trent was informative, friendly, and super patient with you on the way up the mountain — that means a lot to us. We are looking in to the link situation as this is the first time anyone has had an issue. So thanks for pointing that out!
