Jacob was an amazing tour and young man. When our oldest son jumped in and lost his glasses he jumped in and dove down and, found them. Lifesaver!
Yuping_L, Jul 2026
This was such a fun and memorable activity! My kids and I enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the clear kayaks with our friendly guide Jacob. Highly recommended.

It was beautiful due to the lake and the clear kayaks. The guide was nice but God forbid you have an emergency or need help. We did the experience with our 9 year old and 13 year old daughter, my husband and I. It was our first time kayaking. My husband got sea sick immediately but it wore off luckily. My 9 year old panicked and didn’t paddle the entire trip. On our way back I got extremely frustrated as the waves kept pushing us back and with just me paddling it took us longer than usual to get back. Nobody turned back for us even when we had out paddle up high signaling for help. Luckily we made it back. But in case if we gave out lord know when we would have gotten help. You need at least 2 guides when you have 10 kayakers. The guide did take beautiful pictures and shared with us… again guide (Daniel) was nice.

We had the absolute best time on our clear kayak tour! Daniel was an amazing tour guide—friendly, knowledgeable, encouraging, and made sure everyone felt safe while still having an unforgettable adventure.
Kayaking out to Bonsai Rock was incredible, and thanks to Daniel’s encouragement, several of us even took the leap off the rock! It was such a fun experience and definitely a highlight of our Lake Tahoe trip.
The entire tour was well organized, beautiful, and so much fun from start to finish. If you’re thinking about booking this tour, do it! I would recommend Daniel and this company to anyone looking for a memorable experience on Lake Tahoe

We had a wonderful clear kayak excursion on Lake Tahoe with Jacob! He was informative and patient. He was able to learn everyone's name and make sure everyone was enjoying themselves. He took time to take pictures of our group and share them with us at the end. He gave other recommendations for restaurants and hikes in the area. The entire activity was well thought through and executed. Highly recommend!

Omg what a great experience! 100% recommend and can’t wait to go back and do it again! Great views and unique beautiful experience.
Catherine_L, Jul 2026
It was a great day. We didn't paddle very far and I would have loved to stay out longer. However, the tour guide made our 2 hours a lot of fun and was very knowledgeable of the Lake and the area.
Marlene_S, Jun 2026
The tour/ experience is guided by folks who are very familiar with the Lake. There is shuttle service to the lake. Everyone in the Kayak Tesm was personable, helpful and knowledgeable.
Kelli_C, Jun 2026
The water is so stunningly Beautiful!! The photos don’t due it justice! It’s easy to paddle and so peaceful.
Alisa_B, Jun 2026
The staff was organized, professional and friendly. The kayaks were in great shape. Our guide, Daniel, was fun, friendly and knowledgeable.
I gave it 4 stars because I felt we did a lot of floating around, not doing much of anything, and spent too much time jumping off the rocks. I would have loved more of actual kayaking. I think maybe we would have gone longer if the other group was in better shape. Maybe that’s why we didn’t go out as far. I don’t know.

We had such a lovely time with Will today! There’s no better way to get a quiet feel for the lake and see the scenery than from a kayak. From start to finish the service was outstanding and the views and equipment were perfect. This is the one thing that we did in Lake Tahoe that was well worth the price.
AAMINAH_B, Jun 2026
Great experience! Adrian was an awesome guide. He was super chill, knowledgeable, and helpful. The views and vibes were great. 10/10 would totally recommend.
Evette_F, Jun 2026
One of the best kayak tours I’ve experienced. The view was amazing, the water and rocks were amazing
Chad_B, Jun 2026
Just a really great trip! We enjoyed it! It wasn’t over the top but it was relaxing and enjoyable to get out on the water. Daniel, our guide was really kind and helpful. He was knowledgeable about the lake and did a really good job of keeping the trip enjoyable.

Had a great time out on the lake during the 9am morning time slot as there was fewer boats out in the area so the water was pretty calm and clear to see down a good 50-60’. Paddling around the Bonsai rock area was neat and we got some great photos. Our tour guide, Will , was great and knowledgeable and even sent us notes on nearby great spots for dining, beaches, and activities. Would definitely recommend the clear kayak as that is the best way to experience the beautiful lake.
Thanks again.

Our tour guide Adrian was phenomenal. This was our 1st time and his instructions was ready to understand and follow. He was so knowledgeable about the location and more. The company had everything York need and they were so friendly. 10 out of 10 great experiences.
Katherine_W, Jun 2026
Jacob was an amazing guide! Tahoe Multisport was really communicative and was able to get us rebooked onto a tour date where weather would be better (you can’t go out on super windy days.) They took care of everything and made this a super seamless and enjoyable experience. Would rebook again in a heartbeat!
Kelly_S, Apr 2026
First 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.
Daniel_W, Mar 2026
This 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！

My family and I had a blast. It’s our first time in Lake Tahoe and it definitely will not be the last.
Michele_M, Jan 2026
Great tour guide, knowledgeable. A must experience with clear kayaks due to the clarity of the water. Beach stop was really nice too
Julie_C, Sep 2025
Spontaneously 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.
Cheria_Q, Sep 2025
Clear 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.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Cheria. We’re sorry that your experience didn’t meet expectations. We completely understand that weather concerns can make guests feel uneasy, especially on Lake Tahoe.
To clarify, we carefully monitor NOAA forecasts and Nevada State Parks guidance. Tours are only cancelled when there is an official Lake Wind Advisory or unsafe conditions. On your scheduled day, no advisories were issued, and surface conditions remained calm. In fact, we safely operated multiple tours before, during, and after your booking, and those guests all enjoyed their time on the water.
Guest safety is always our highest priority, and if conditions had been unsafe, we would have cancelled immediately and provided a full refund. We regret that the forecast you reviewed made you uncomfortable, but we stand by the fact that conditions that day were safe for operation.
Angela_W, Sep 2025
Your 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!
Julie_R, Sep 2025
We had a wonderful time on our tour! We had Daniel as our tour guide and we loved him! It was late September and the weather was great. I would recommend brining a change of clothes in case you want to jump off Bonsai Rock! Water is cold but worth the jump!
Trishia_H, Sep 2025
Emma was A-mazing! We got to see the usual cool spots and then continued on to some farther reaching areas. She was very knowledgeable about Lake Tahoe, its history, wildlife and really embodied the experience we were striving for. I will say- the rental shop wasn’t warm and friendly. A little off putting. But the bus driver and guide made up for it!!!
Marco_G, Sep 2025
Best kayaking experience ever for my first time kayaking, I highly recommend booking with these amazing people Emma as my instructor was the best ever she gave me so much advice and tips for a smooth kayaking experience I had a great time with Emma and will thank you again I will definitely book again this time early morning for sunrise.
Olivia_F, Sep 2025
Perfect trip from Sand Beach. We kayaked along the shore line and our guide Daniel shared some of the history of Lake Tahoe. He was an excellent guide! We got to jump off a rock and swim for a while in the really clear water. We went in early September and the water was 68°.
Carrie_T, Sep 2025
Breathtaking! Had so much fun! Highly recommend this to see the actual beauty of the water and learn a bit of history!
