It was our first time kayaking, so we were little nervous about it, but our guide Petra was so friendly, patient and ensuring everyone in the group felt safe and confident before we even pushed off the shore. She was also absolutely pro in safety instructions and incredibly knowledgeable about the local area, history and she made this tour both fun and educational. Whether you are a total beginner like us or an experienced paddler, I highly recommend this tour!!

It was such a good experience the staff were so kind and chill, we felt comfortable right away especially since it was our first time. We were skeptical since it was sunset and were afraid it would be too dark especially my partner lol but she ended having so much fun that she would want to do it again. I so recommend it, it’s so worth it.

I had booked a Monday tour for sunset weeks ago and was called on Monday that it was canceled cause I was the only one. They rebooked me for the next night but I forgot as it was not on my calendar… I was on a trail and got out late. No one called to remind me or ask where I was. I have a call into to the operator as I pre paid and it’s just a bit odd that they didn’t ask where I was.

Hi Matt. The guide for your tour reported that you were very very late for your tour (nearly 1/2 an hour), and were not responding to his phone calls when he called to check on your arrival time. At some point he had to leave without you in respect to the customers who were on time. I'm not sure why you're hitting us with a bad review for this, as we can't be responsible for tracking you down on your other activities that happen elsewhere, or adding things to your personal calendar, especially when you won't answer your phone. We called you, we waited for you, but we had to respect the other guests who arrived on time and eventually launch the tour without you.

Fantastic experience, all the staffs are really friendly and funny (lots of jokes in their back pocket), highly recommended for anyone looking for great view, breaking some sweat!

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!

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 sunset tour, guides were great even with most of being first time kayakers. Definitely recommend.

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.

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!

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
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.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
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!

Our guide was knowledgeable about the area. The paddle was fun and he kept us on pace without pushing us. Henry was a fabulous guide.. Highly recommend this trip.

Weather & atmosphere were perfect! The staff was patience and professional. They went out of there way to ensure my friends and I had photos. We absolutely enjoyed our tour and recommend it to others who are looking for a beautiful and relaxing kayaking ride.

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!
