Charcuterie Board Making (and Eating!) in South Lake Tahoe

Price varies by group size

I would love to be your Tahoe local friend and lead you on a 2 mile hike to a beautiful overlook of Emerald Bay and the ENTIRE Lake Tahoe basin. Need more reassurance? Check out the 200+ reviews of me on Airbnb experiences! In my 25 years of living here, I have explored many of the trails and much of shoreline around Tahoe and this vantage point is one of my favorites. Also available for the sunrise, sunset, and/or moonrise! Great for groups and team building. Intermediate-level hike available too. I am happy to try and accommodate mobility challenged/differently abled folks on the hike. The experience begins with a paved walk on a campground road. Then the trail turns to dirt with a slight incline for about ¼ mile until we get to the lookout point. If you are visiting Tahoe during the winter time, the hike will most likely be covered in snow. Snow boots or hiking boots will be needed. I can bring a sled to help tow the kiddos. The hike may be weather dependent due to heavy snowfall.

Sunset Hike and Photography Adventure in South Lake Tahoe

This wasn't scary we just made it look that way!

Drive the road to Nevada’s Silver Rush with a GPS-triggered audio guide that plays automatically as you go. From South Lake Tahoe, climb the Kingsbury Grade for sweeping views over the Carson Valley, then follow prospectors, gunslingers and a young Mark Twain through Genoa (Nevada’s first settlement), Carson City, Silver City and Gold Hill to the boardwalks of Virginia City, the boomtown built on the Comstock Lode. Voice actors play a frontier lawyer, a desperado, a judge and Mark Twain himself. Hear how the Comstock got its name, how miners worked deep underground and why the Sutro Tunnel came too late. Great value: a guided day trip to Virginia City usually costs $70-80 per person. This tour is one low price for your whole car (up to 15 people). Download the VoiceMap app the night before so it works offline. Daytime is best and you can pause any time. Do the Stops if you like (admission is separate) or simply drive past. It’s your choice!

Lake Tahoe Emerald Bay Scenic Cruise

michelle_h, Oct 2026

Beautiful condo, great location.

Beautiful lakefront location in South Lake Tahoe. Easy walking distance to Safeway and eateries, a short drive away from Heavenly Village. Very convenient locale. The condo was lovely, clean, modern, well appointed, tastefully decorated, with fantastic views overlooking the lake. Being there in the shoulder season (Oct) was great: fewer crowds, crisp cool air, and less traffic. During our brief 4 night stay, we hiked, biked, shopped, walked, and enjoyed a boat tour of beautiful Lake Tahoe. The property’s noise restriction notice was appreciated and followed, and gave us a sense of quiet peace and respectful privacy. *One note to consider: the garage space is tight. While our Rav 4 fit, a large SUV could be difficult to manage in that space. Overall our experience here was very enjoyable and made for wonderful memories with our family. My 86 yr old father accompanied us and the first floor location was easy for him to navigate too! He had a great time along with us. 🤗

Delicious evening with Bryan

This was an outstanding tour. We enjoyed the tastings and Bryan our tour guide was so much fun. He was easy to talk to and had some interesting stories about the area. As a picky eater I was afraid I would not like the food, but was pleasantly surprised at how delicious each restaurants offering was! I would recommend this to everyone but go hungry as the portions are huge!

Great experience

Simon was a fantastic tour guide. Definitely would recommend him to anyone trying to get the most for their experience. He’s very knowledgeable about Tahoe. He was a great history buff on the lake and very welcoming. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed his company and got to know a lot more information about Lake Tahoe than we would’ve ever come across just visiting.

2-Hour Off-Road Razor Ridge Run Tour in the Desert

August_C, Oct 2026

Had an absolute blast!!

I booked this experience for my husband and I for his birthday. We are local but he'd always wanted to go off roding and he was going back and forth on wether or not he should purchase a side by side for himself. Needless to say that we will definitely be getting one in the near future. He had so much fun! Our tour guide was very friendly and professional. He took us to a great scenic outlook where you could see the whole sierra mountain range and it was beautiful! It was really nice to get out of the city and be out in nature. We will definitely be recommending this to everyone we know.

It does go to the Bansai...

It does go to the Bansai Rock area, which has the classic picture of a woman on a paddleboard in clear rocky water. Our guide Rowan was very knowledgeable and friendly. He took pictures af all paddlers we were very pleasantly surprised that there is no charge for the image files to be air dropped or emailed to you.

“Favorite activity!” -A summer Tahoe enthusiast

Must do activity in Tahoe! Gorgeous kayaking views, and they help you capture the memories with photos from different vantage points. Photos don’t do it justice, but this is as close as it gets. No need to swim, but you have the option to jump off bonsai rock if you want. We were worried about it being cold with the forecast around 60 degrees, but it was perfectly warm in the sun. Bring your bathing suit and wear sunscreen!

Fun boat trip on Lake Tahoe

Great experience on Lake Tahoe. Private boat with an excellent captain Bryan. He gave us a couple of options for our 2 hr journey. We chose to visit Emerald Bay and then time to swim in the lake near a quiet beach. We were 6 adults and a 5 yr old and everyone had a great time!

Outstanding Lake Tahoe Tour

Everything was fantastic. It was very easy to park at the marina and find our captain, Sean. The boat was exceptionally clean and in great condition. Sean was very friendly and as a 45 year resident of Lake Tahoe he knew a great deal about the history of the lake and the region. This tour was a wonderful way to see Lake Tahoe and learn about its unique natural and cultural history. We were four adults and we all said this was one of our best experiences on our Lake Tahoe trip. Would definitely recommend this tour and would highly recommend traveling with Captain Sean.
