Fun Activity on the Lake 💦 - Great experience for all the family. Guides were great giving information about the area. Make sure you wear a hat and have sunscreen on as on the water for over 2hrs. Kept having to stop for slower paddlers, this was super considerate but could have split the group on the way back! Also personal group photo was great but the way they were talking I thought there’d be more. Was a great activity I would go again.

Family friendly kayak ride - Family friendly activities. Nice kayak ride. Loved the marsh. Beautiful views. A little info about the lake. Could maybe give a little more info about Lake Tahoe but it was a good tour! Guides were very friendly and nice!

Kayaking gem on Lake Tahoe and Truckee River - This was a wonderful kayaking trip. Good for beginners as well as those with some experience on the water. The trip took us in the lake, but also the river/wetlands area that feeds into Lake Tahoe. The guides were friendly and had some knowledge of the history of the area, ecological efforts, and birds/wildlife. Perfect distance traveled. Highly recommend this trip!

Kayak with friends - Wonderful experience on the lake with my four friends. Highly recommend using this company. Lauren and Tais (I'm sure I messed up that spelling) we're fantastic! Was it wonderful couple hours on the lake.

Great experience! - Our kayak tour was a lot of fun! The guides were very nice and shared fun tips about the area and the lake. My husband couldn’t go with us so one of the guides recommended a beautiful hike for him while we were on the lake. The guides were also considerate regarding beginners or those that were a little slower (me). They even took some great photos of me and my family and friends so I didn’t need to try to get my phone out while on the lake. They will share these with you through airdrop or text.

A Very Beautiful Learning Experience - Our tour guide, Jessie, is extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. She struck up conversations with each member of our group and displayed genuine interest in our stories. The tour was robust and beautiful. The pace was very easy to maintain for us.

It does require duration... - It does require duration ability to paddle almost the entire time(2 hours). We felt rushed to keep up with the group which made the experience "work" rather than leisure. It was not the guides fault just that the group "mix" had different ideas of what a scenic tour meant, we felt like we were in a race to keep up. Also, we wished we were told that the pictures the guide "offered to take so we didn't drop a camara" would be pictures we had no access to. Suspecting there was perhaps a charge for them. Stop and take your own pictures along the way
