This was a stellar trip, definitely a highlight during our vacation! We were able to see Lake Tahoe up close and personal. The Captain was an expert at piloting the boat while explaining what we were seeing!
Loved it!

We were on a sibling trip with our spouses. The boat tour gave us a fun way to check out the lake and some of the interesting sites around the lake. Our guide did a nice job of sharing history and answering our questions. Fun trip and nice guide.
Adam was a great captain!...

Adam was a great captain! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Took us to Baldwin beach, Pope beach, and we took a dip in Emerald bay. The water was so clear and not too cold ! We also forgot AirPods on the boat and he was able to get them back to us!
