Donner Lake Watersports & Marina

Reviewed By drmader - Orinda, United States

Hannah made it fast and easy. We walked up, filled out paperwork, handed a credit card and got the safety run down. We were on the water enjoying the lake within 10 Minutes..no reservation, easy.. both people working there were young and very polite and accommodating. We took our small dog along and had a lovely time. We will be back..this was a great experience and the kayak /jet ski/ paddle board looked great too. Well run and fair pricing. Thank you

Coldstream Adventures

Reviewed By smorge86

My wife and I recently stayed in Tahoe for our honeymoon and unbeknownst to us, we were 'in between seasons'. A lot of the snow activities were limited, but thankfully, Coldstream was still offering snowmobile tours. Because of the slow season, we were the only ones signed up for the afternoon session and essentially got a private tour! We enjoyed amazing scenery, points of interest from our knowledgeable guide Shannon, an experience that was both fun and challenging. My only suggestion to them would be to get machines that don't put out so much exhaust - being behind someone, you do inhale a lot!

Northstar California Mountain Bike Park

Reviewed By G2226HQcatherines

My friend and I am beginner/intermediate mountain bikers. We are in our fifties and I have to say we had an absolute blast lots to choose from on the trails. Very clearly marked trails from beginner, to intermediate and advanced! Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the lifts worked great, everything timely and organized, and line wait times were reasonable. We went late summer pre-covid. We can't wait to go back once the park opens up again! Yes it was expensive but it was completely worth it! And of course in the Tahoe and Truckee area there are other places to mountain bike that are awesome and are free.
