Paddle along the lake while seeing up to 65 feet (20 meters) below the water's surface.

This was such a fun morning. Everything was very organized and the tour guide, Jason, and our driver, Dave, were both wonderful. Jason had a lot of great information about Lake Tahoe which kept it interesting and everyone engaged. The pace was just right for myself, my husband (1st time kayaking) and our 13 year old daughter. In addition to the tour itself, the lake is stunning. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Good even for a beginner kayaker, but still requires endurance to paddle for over an hour of the tour and the water can be choppy. Ethan was our guide and did a great job... very personable! Thank you!

Parker was a great guide and interacted with every body on the tour. A little bit of humor mixed with fun facts about Lake Tahoe.

Nick was a great guide. Guy at the desk was very helpful too.
The clear kayaks are not very maneuverable, more like row boats than kayaks.
Fun outing, beautiful water and scenery.

Jake, our tour guide, was wonderful from beginning to end. He took lots of pictures of us and told us interesting facts and tidbits about the area. He answered any questions we had. We are not experienced kayakers but found this enjoyable and worth it.

I had a great time! Caitlin was a lot of fun and had a great knowledge of the lake. It was overcast and occasionally drizzling, but the lake was fairly calm. Couldn't see down very well at first, but then it got sunnier and then you could see the bottom of the lake when we were in the shallows. The only thing that was a problem was that the kayaks are wider than normal to have a flat bottom. It means that you have to hold the paddles differently and my arms were tired by the end. I would definitely do this again.

Had a great time. Would definitely do it again. Our super friendly tour guide took great pics of us kayaking. Memorable and fun experience.

I am extremely disappointed with the service I received from Viator. I had booked a highly anticipated tour through their platform, only to show up at the meeting point and discover that it had been canceled at the last minute. Viator failed to notify me of this cancellation in advance, which is completely unacceptable.
While the tour operator themselves were apologetic, they indicated that the responsibility for communication lies with Viator. This lack of communication wasted my time and caused significant inconvenience, disrupting my carefully planned day.
This experience has left me feeling frustrated and undervalued as a customer.
I hope Viator takes this feedback seriously and improves their communication processes to prevent this from happening to others in the future. I would love if someone could reach out to me to make this right. Thank you

This was truly the highlight of my Tahoe trip. Jake was an incredible guide and everything they did from start to finish was incredible thoughtful and personable. We had the most beautiful morning on the lake, and it was so fun to learn more about the history of Tahoe as well. If you plan to kayak, the clear kayak is the way to go, it is just so incredibly cool to see how clear the water is- and unreal when you learn about some of the depths that you’re kayaking through. Looking forward to our next trip to Tahoe, will absolutely plan to book again through Clearly Tahoe.
