What to do and see in Lake Tahoe (California), Lake Tahoe (California): The Best Things to do for Honeymoon

June 20, 2021 Etsuko Causey

Basking in its 300 days of sunshine, Lake Tahoe is a haven for outdoor fun in every season. Swimming, kayaking and windsurfing are popular in the summer months, while epic snowfall makes for spectacular skiing in winter. For those who prefer indoor fun, there's plenty of that in Tahoe, too. With 24-hour casinos and a flashy nightlife scene, the area has a tangible Vegas vibe. A sprinkle of bling, if you will. Not surprising, since Lake Tahoe straddles the border between California and Nevada.

Emerald Bay State Park

This spectacular bay in Lake Tahoe is best approached by hiking trails.

Reviewed By Alacrout - Los Angeles, United States

You really can’t go wrong with any part of Lake Tahoe, as the whole thing is surrounded by stunning mountain views. The views can get a little hazy during bad fire seasons, but still a beautiful area. Hard to pick a definitive “best” part of the Lake, but Emerald Bay is certainly up there as one of the best parts. The color of the water lives up to the name of “Emerald.” In the middle of the Bay, there’s a cute little island that is the ONLY island in Lake Tahoe. You can kayak, canoe, or boat to the island (NOT swim) and see the ruins of “Tea House,” where a quirky captain lived in the 1800s. Inspiration Point is a necessary stop on your way through the park—it gives you one of the best views of the entire Bay. Be sure to check out Vikingsholm too! :)

Reviewed By MacyandDan - San Diego, United States

I selected this spa as a treat for myself while my husband went skiing. I had the body scrub and massage, and it was excellent. Although not a large resort spa, BioSpirit was quiet, calm and relaxing. Beverly was an excellent massage therapist and everyone there was very helpful and friendly. the Eucalyptus steam room was an added delight. I was so happy with the service that I attempted to book an additional appointment, but they were booked up. I would highly recommend this spa, and plan on visiting again. They also gave me some great recommendations for some local restaurants, which were also great! Give yourself a treat and book this great spa!

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
