What To Expect
1

Emerald Bay the second most photographed place in the United States. This is a beautiful stop. In the winter time it can be closed due to avalanches. But most of the year, Around Tahoe Tours puts you right in the perfect spots at Emerald Bay. Take photographs, hear the stories and see the Bay. No parking and Walking, just enjoying Emerald Bay. We will see Inspiration Point, Eagle Falls, Fannett Island, and the Vikingsholm.

Meeks Bay Beach
This is seasonal stop. Open from May 15th through October 15th. This is a beautiful little white sand beach. Great swimming spot on Lake Tahoe and a wonderful little resort with cabins and houses for rent as well as RV camping and tent camping. There's a general store here and good bathrooms.
3
Homewood
Oscar award-winning film "The Godfather Part II" was filmed on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. The mafia spent quite a bit of time in Lake Tahoe. The casinos in Reno and on the North Shore brought the mafia to the shores of Lake Tahoe. Anywhere there's money they would be there. Plus the lake is very deep. Ask Fredo

North Lake Tahoe Visitor Center
We park at the Tahoe City visitor Center and walk over to Fanny Bridge. Below the dam we can see some incredibly large and beautiful Rainbow and Brown Trout. This is where the Truckee River comes out of Lake Tahoe. The dam is only 6 ft tall and isn't there to hold water in but to help it get out.
5
Carnelian Bay
This is a wonderful stop at the famous Gar Wood's Restaurant and Bar. Have a wet woody and walk on the pier. Great photographs see how clear the water really is. In the summertime we could see that Woody's out on the lake. Gar Woods, Chris-Crafts, Rivas and Hackers. Beautiful old wood boats.
6
Sand Harbor
Around Tahoe Tours makes a stop at the most beautiful place in Lake Tahoe. Sand Harbor State Park Nevada. Home of massive big boulders surrounded by every color of blue. Seems tropical at certain times. Great place for swimming lots of history, and probably our best stop. Get out stretch your legs and take lots of photographs You won't want to leave.
7
Logan Shoals Vista Trail
Around Tahoe stops at Logan Shoals Vista Trail as this is the best place to see Cave Rock. Cave Rock is Lake Tahoe's most famous sacred site. Home to the spirits of the Paiute and Washoe Indians. Cave Rock is not a rock at all it's a volcanic stem left over from long ago.

WOW! What an amazing tour - Chris and Roz were the BEST hosts! We were out for a business meeting and were able to have the time to be able to see and learn all about Lake Tahoe. Chris was a wealth of knowledge which made the 5+ hour tour that much more amazing. He knew all the best spots for viewing gorgeous scenery and perfect pictures. Highly recommend this tour and I would go back with friends and family in a heartbeat. Thanks Chris and Roz!!
