Perfect time of year

5.00First time in clear kayak and this is the perfect spot to do it. Water is so clear! Perfect weather and no crowds this time of year. Will was a fun guide. Wish we had more time to go further out, but we had a lot of time in by bonsai rock with no one else around.
This was our first kayak...

5.00This was our first kayak experience，and it was so fun！We didn't go too far away since it's our first time and it was a little bit windy . I feel it's totally safe to stay around the shore，and it's all under our controls. The water is so clear，and sometimes the ducks are swimming very close to the boat. The view was great. We love it！The people are also very nice there. This is probably the best thing we did in Lake Tahoe. I personally like it more than ski.😄We will come back in future！
Unforgettable

5.00The scenery is breathtaking and serene. My guide JP was awesome, very informative and friendly. He also took great pictures. It was winter time, so I had the whole lake for myself. Highly recommend.

2.00Bus driver & Kayak tour guide A+. The company they work for D+. There was a mistake with our reservation, we were told they could fix it and refund us for the extra person over the phone. Once we arrived the person we spoke to said they couldn’t refund us after all. He blamed it on Viator and Viator blamed it on their company. Bottom line, I wouldn’t recommend this company or booking through Viator. Tons of other kayak tours in this area, go through them direct to avoid paying extra for an already expensive tour.
Great way to experience Lake Tahoe

5.00While visiting Lake Tahoe, we had to take an opportunity to experience the lake itself. We decided on the Clear Kayak Paddle Tour and loved every minute! The tour was three hours total from the shuttle ride to the lake to the time on the lake. The water was crisp and clear. We had opportunities to get into the water and take pictures. Our guide, Daniel was friendly and told us many fun facts about the lake. He also took pictures of us while afloat in our kayak. I highly recommend this tour if you wish to experience Lake Tahoe.
Go as a solo and make new friends!

5.00Spontaneously booked a 2 hour kayak tour as a solo the day of and had the best time with the group I ended up with! The location is easy to find, all the staff were great, and the views from the water are incredibly stunning! Highly recommend.

1.00Clear water kayak booked but weather was not great and we were told it’s too dangerous to be on the lake with too much wind on clear kayaks. Refused to refund us.
Amazing Kayak Tour!

5.00Your was great and staff was helpful and friendly. Our tour guide, Adrian, was very patient (we had one person on the tour not being nice) and made the experience so fun. One thing to note; make sure upon arrival at the store that you specify a single or double kayak. Will definitely use this company again when in Lake Tahoe!
