Let Us Be Your Guide to Tahoe Adventure

There are lots of reasons to upgrade from a rental to a guided tour or lesson. Some people want to learn about the history and ecology of Lake Tahoe. Others like the safety of knowing that they’ll be paddling with a guide who’s been trained in ACA (American Canoe and Kayak Association) techniques for rescue, water safety, and efficient paddling form. Many of our guests just want to pick up some local knowledge or have our guides entertain the kids with G-rated “Dad Jokes.” Whatever your reason, we feel that upgrading to a guided experience will enhance your Tahoe adventure.
