DAWN PATROL KAYAKING TOUR
DISCOVER THE EAST SHORE
DAWN PATROL
MORNING KAYAK
Experience Lake Tahoe’s East Shore. It was meant for kayaking.
Watch the sun rise over the mountains as we head out on a signature kayak adventure. Discover why Lake Tahoe’s East shore is considered one of the most pristine shorelines. Hidden beaches, secret coves and water clarity levels that reach down to 70 feet below are just a few of the highlights. Steep Sierra mountains and in water boulders provide the perfect backdrop for our morning paddle. Take a break at a secluded beach and soak in the sun, enjoy a swim or snorkel (gear provided). Throughout your time kayaking we’ll discuss Lake Tahoe’s fascinating history and some of the savory characters that made this area home.
AMAZING EXPERIENCE
Judy K.
“We had a blast. The scenery was out of this world. Guides were top notch. We came in early June and the water was a tad cold for snorkeling, but we took a dip regardless.”
DAY SAFARI KAYAK TOUR
THE JEWEL OF TAHOE
DAY SAFARI
EMERALD BAY TRIP
Experience the Jewel of Lake Tahoe. By kayak.
Discover Emerald Bay. Set out in the morning on a paddling journey through Tahoe’s blue waters. Travel along towering mountains as they descend into the lake. Enjoy views of Mount Tallac as we make our way to the mouth of Emerald Bay. Keep your eyes open throughout the trip. This stretch of shoreline provides some of the best opportunities to view osprey and bald eagles. Upon entering Emerald Bay you’ll be greeted by the region’s iconic glacier carved mountains. We’ll kayak over and explore Fannette island (Lake Tahoe’s only island), and learn about Vikingsholm Castle as we take a well deserved break on the adjacent beach. This trip is considered moderate to strenuous and previous experience is recommended.
WORTH EVERY PADDLE
Bryan C.
“It’s a long paddle, but worth every moment. You don’t realize how grand Emerald Bay is until you see it from the water. We had the whole island to ourselves.”
KAYAK LAKE TAHOE AT SUNSET
FIRE IN THE SKY
LIGHT’S LAST FRONTIER
SUNSET ON THE WATER
Kayak into the sunset and experience Tahoe’s carnival of colors.
Travel by kayak and take in the Tahoe sunset. Set out on the East Shore for the perfect vantage point as the sun sets behind the mountains. This is the perfect time to experience Lake Tahoe’s calm waters and shorelines as they were meant to be. Empty. We’ll set out early enough to capture the whole show. Paddle along beautiful shorelines as the sun paints the sky with shades of pink, red and orange. Take a short stop at an expansive beach, complete with Tiki bar to enjoy the finale. On the way back, we may capture the stars just beginning to show themselves before night falls.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Teresa P.
“We had the best time on our sunset tour. Our guide was so smart and kind heated. I highly recommend this tour group to anyone looking for the anti-touristy tour experience. We saw so much beauty and I actually felt like my soul got a recharge that was well needed.”
HOWL AT THE MOON KAYAK TOUR
WATCH THE MILKY WAY COME TO LIFE
HOWL AT THE MOON
FULL MOON ADVENTURE
Discover the night. Kayak by moonlight.
If you’re a night owl, we have the kayaking experience for you. Get out on the water as the full moon crests over the mountains and lights up Lake Tahoe’s water. Enjoy calm waters and silence as we paddle under the stars. Travel alongside forested shorelines and into grassland tributaries. Shore up the kayaks on a deserted beach and take the opportunity to howl at the moon. This is a timeless experience.
A PERFECT BALANCE
Melissa W.
“The moon was spectacular, but the service was better. Extremely friendly guides, new equipment and beachside smores under the stars. Couldn’t of asked for more.”
