We went on the Explorer morning clear kayak tour leaving from the Tahoe Keys marina. It was SO MUCH FUN! Where to begin?! The crew and guides were immensely personable & helpful. They took care of everything & everyone. We felt very secure as semi-novice kayakers. We chose to use separate kayaks, the transparent fiberglass kayaks allow you to see thru to the bottom of the lake. When you’re close to the rocks you can see below to spy fish & giant rocks, very fascinating . The lake was so beautiful in various shades of blue. The guide provided very interesting information about the history & ecology of the lake. Lake Tahoe such a national, natural treasure! We launched our kayaks from the pontoon boat in a quiet part of the lake after about 1/2 hr cruising out onto the lake. They provided boxed water, coffee, soda, chips, granola bars on board the boat. There’s a bathroom on board the boat. Each kayak is furnished with a small cooler & boxed water. We kayaked for about 1.5 hrs, which was perfect for us. The total tour time is approximately 3 hrs. It was just a terrific experience. I’ll definitely do it again; we got our moneys worth! Can’t say enough about the quality of the crew, some of the best service I’ve had anywhere. Don’t miss this experience!!
