Top 10 Tours in Lake Tahoe (Nevada), Lake Tahoe (Nevada)

May 8, 2022 Lean Nau

With the bluest of blue water and the greenest of green surrounding forest, Lake Tahoe, quite simply, transfixes. From the early Indians to authors such as Mark Twain, folks have tried to capture the beauty and mystique of the lake with nicknames like "Big Blue" and "Grasshopper Soup." Others maintain that it's impossible to describe the magnificence in words. At 6,225 feet above sea level, Tahoe is the highest alpine lake in the United States and has long attracted vacationers from around the world. In the summer, hiking, windsurfing, golfing, fishing and swimming (usually in wet suits due to the lake's brisk year-round temperature) are all the rage. The winter season, which actually starts around Thanksgiving, brings throngs of skiers to area resorts. Located between California and Nevada, different sides of the lake tend to attract different types of visitors. The California side draws families and outdoor enthusiasts while the Nevada side beckons those looking for big name entertainment and casinos. No matter which side you choose, a getaway to stunning Lake Tahoe will not soon be forgotten.

We considered searching for the cheapest place to rent skis/snowboard, etc. We wanted equip that could travel to Kirkwood as well as Heavenly, but we were not going to be skiing for each of the days that we were in town. I could not believe all the courtesies that they extended to make this awesome. First, the convenience of having them measure you and deliver to the hotel was unparalleled. I need to remind myself how good it feels to be catered to. The workers were pleasant to work with and could discuss the equipment as well as the mountain. They brought the equip on night one and then checked us out on day 4. They confirmed that we had only used the equip for 2 of the 4 days and only charged us for those at the end- again it was so darn convenient. But I forgot to mention the savior of the day. I realized at the last minute that I had left my ski coat in San Diego and they rented on to me for 25 bucks per day. This was so much better than the anticipated cost of buying a new jacket for the trip. Consider just renting jackets and pants if you are planning a trip and have not bought for your infrequent ski trips.

This was one of the best sightseeing trips I have ever had and I travel a lot. The views were so fantastic that I would love to do it again! I don’t say that about sightseeing much. The ebikes were so easy to use and I am an overweight senior citizen. I recommend this as a MUST if you are in the area. The manager/owner was so nice and friendly. He was so professional and made the trip perfect! I shall return.

Gorgeous views of Emerald Bay. Bundle up 'cause it's cold above deck when the boat is moving. The food is decent but the live band is unnecessarily loud.

COVID SUPER SPREADER EVENT!!!!! TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. They oversold the tickets and packed the boat to the rim, so much so that there weren't enough seats for the many guest. Everyone was piled on top of each other. Although their website said covid restrictions were in place they absolutely were not. Masks were NOT mandated, many people were without masks sitting in extremely close proximity. It was an incredibly uncomfortable experience and I would absolutely not recommend them to anyone I know.
