5.00My husband and I shared a two person kayak which we were glad about because we could visit during the trip. The Explorer tour out of South Lake Tahoe was awesome. They took us to emerald cove which is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. The water is so clear and blue it’s hard to believe. Being on a clear kayak was a unique experience. The guide Ryan was very knowledgeable and helpful in making suggestions for local places and hikes. I’d recommend this to anyone visiting Tahoe
Awesome experience!

5.00We participated in the 6:45 am tour and it was awesome in every way! Chase, our tour guide, was very informative. He know a lot about the lake but he also gave us interesting information about the shoreline, birds, rocks, mountains, as well as recommendations for restaurants around the lake. It was out favorite part of our vacation!
Beautiful

5.00Awesome kayake! The only suggestion I could make is the tour guide either needs to speak when everyone is within ear shot or the tour should have a system (ear phones?) so that everyone can hear. I didn’t hear over half of the tour guide speaking.
