      The kayak tour was amazing. We got a very cool history lesson about Lake Tahoe, a relatively small group to tour with, and perfect weather. The only thing I wish we could have done was see more of the sunset dipping behind the mountains, but the sky was glorious as it dipped. We were out there for a good two hours, and as we paddled back to shore, we could take our time and really enjoy being out on the water. Our guide, Alex, was incredibly nice and knowledgeable about the history of the area, and was nice enough to take pictures of us. He offered to do them on our phones, but he also has his own that he can take them on and then email the pictures to us. They turned out great!

      Awesome sunset kayak tour experience

      This was an incredible experience! I’m so glad I got to do it with my son. It was so peaceful and serene. Even my 9 year old said “this is a different type of beauty out here.” The guides were awesome and full of fun facts and history about Lake Tahoe. It was one of my favorite things we did! I would definitely recommend it to everyone visiting Lake Tahoe!

      Fun family time

      We had a great time— the guides were very pleasant and kept a pretty big group together and safe on the lake. The sunset was surely spectacular, and our guide took plenty of pictures of our group for us.

      10 out of 10!

      Very easy paddling. Knowledgeable guides. Beautiful sunset. Great pictures. The host was so nice and friendly. Very professional! Wear water shoes, capri pants or shorts with a layered top as your knees and feet get splashed with freezing water but your top stays warm after the sun sets. I was very comfortable with a long sleeve t-shirt and a bubble jacket and capri-style jeans. Bring an extra pare of socks and shoes.

      We had such a magical time on our Sunset Kayaking tour! The colors as the sunset were gorgeous. Henry was knowledgeable and patient!

      Incredible sunset

      Akshaya_G, Aug 2024
      There was a slight miscommunication with the viator tickets showing a 6:30 tour time but the actual last tour being 5:30. The tour guide however was exceedingly accommodating and kind

      Sunset kayak adventure

      Deana_P, Aug 2024
      The kayak trip was very calming and relaxing. Everyone was helpful and had fun. Our tickets said to be there at 630 though when in fact they left at 6pm! I think the kayak company forgot to update the time. Thankfully when we got there at 6:10 one person was still there and took us out to join the group. There was a fire at this time ( far away) so it blocked the view of the mountains so our trip was shortened from what the tickets said. I would have preferred for us to kayak further out to enjoy our entire time paid for.

      Hi Deana, thanks for joining us for the sunset tour and thanks for the helpful feedback. We take our guests' experience very seriously and will take all your suggestions into consideration! We hope you enjoyed your experience, despite the unfortunate smoke situation nearby. Hope to see you all again!

      Best kayaking trip! A must. Simon and Nolan are a great team. We learned so much and enjoyed a peaceful evening learning how to kayak at pace. Simon is wealth of knowledge and he knows how to make everyone feel welcome. We are coming back and taking lessons with him!
