Tahoe Adventure Company - Tahoe Vista, California

We had 2 tours with this company both were perfect. The kayak tour guide was really informative, funny, and friendly. Made the experience better then if we were to just rent a kayak at the beach. The 2 hour kayak trip felt like 30 minutes we were having a lot of fun. The hiking tour guide was great as well she made sure no one was left behind and kept us entertained the whole hike she was also very informative, funny and friendly the 4 mile hike was much better having someone experienced showing us what every plant and landmark was and supporting our group along the way. If you make your way to Tahoe definitely book with these guys you won’t regret it.

We booked this on Monday for a Wednesday tour. Allison was our guide, and she was SO kind and helpful. She made sure everyone in our group felt comfortable on the tour, even with varying levels of kayaking skills. We also really enjoyed the picnic lunch Allison provided (we were expecting PB&J, but got gorgeous Boar’s Head sandwiches + other snacks and sides!). She also took photos for us, which was greatly appreciated.
I would absolutely recommend TAC. We definitely got our money’s worth and had a great time exploring Lake Tahoe!

Amazing Sand Harbour trip with Pete and Johanes.
They were both knowledgeable, engaging and skillfully, making the trip even better.
The place itself was out of this world and kayaking is definitely the way to see it, the beach, the water the surrounding forests made it magical.
Thank you team!

It’s a good place to rent a kayak around Lake Tahoe! The view of the lake is amazing and it wasn’t busy at all, definitely the place to be to beat the crowds. Tahoe Adventure Company is a small set up with a pop up tent. No cash.

We rented an hour of the kayak for two people for about $45ish. There was plenty of parking in the lot across the street for $10. Overall an affordable activity! The guided tours seem like they’d be amazing!

Sophia was our guide and we absolutely loved the experience! She was kind, knowledgeable, friendly and obviously skilled with a kayak. she also snapped this great photo of our group.

The guys at Tahoe Adventure Company were very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly. Only downside was the bad sunburns we got. Remember to apply plenty of sunblock to any exposed skin or you will burn bad.

I found Tahoe Adventure Co to be extremely organized, passionate, and flexible when I brought a bachelor party to them for a sunset kayak tour. The main guide on our tour -- Erica -- was friendly and outgoing; giving the effort to make conversation and ask questions with everyone in our and other groups. The sunset tour is an accessible option for folks who have rarely/never done paddling water sports.

Our two complaints were that they used inexpensive sit-on kayaks and the trip was limited to a short, east-west, out-and-back along the north shore of the lake. These aren't huge issues. It's extremely hard to run these companies well and profitably. My group, and especially this bachelor, would have preferred some more expensive kayaks (sit-in designs) and a longer route that covered lakefront landmarks and geology.

We did the Sand Harbor Kayak tour with Tahoe Adventure Company . Emma Hoffman was our tour guide . This tour was worth the money . Emma guided the tour well, was informative about the history of the place , friendly and kept us engaged. But what I am happy about is something bigger than that...Myself and my husband are very beginners in kayak . We were struggling with balancing the Kayak and suddenly our kayak toppled down. Emma took charge of this unexpected situation and immediately helped us ! She stayed calm and guided us step by step as to how to get back on the kayak and got us back on kayak. Without her, I dont know how we would have managed ! Because we are very new to this. Thanks Emma ! A guide's or Company's worth is known especially based on how they handle unexpected situations ! Also Emma helped our group Cliff jump by jumping along with us. Without her lead none of us had the guts to cliff jump by our own. I am glad I chose Tahoe adventure company for this tour and glad that Emma was our tour guide . I would come back to Tahoe adventure company again for both summer and winter activities. They ensure safety along with providing adventure
