Frequently Asked Questions

Early morning is the best time for clear kayaking while the water is calm and glassy.

Double kayaks are best recommended for the most relaxing and leisurely experience.

Please note: Age and weight restrictions do apply. Please see our Company Policy for more information.

While it is not every day that we see fish, beavers and otters, when we do it is generally in the early morning hours or during one of our eco-tours.

Our clear kayaks are incredibly stable and guests tend to stay much drier during their experience as opposed to the common sit-on-top kayak. However, with any recreational water sports activity you are subject to getting wet. 

Light layers are best recommended. Hats, Sunscreen and Sunglasses are always a good idea. Do wear shoes that can be kicked off and removed easily as you will be required to enter into a few inches of water prior to entering the kayaks.

Guests participating in an early spring, late fall or evening experience should bring a light jacket and dress accordingly. 

Yourself and a camera! Please note: Electronics and valuables should be kept at home or in a safe environment. Clearly Tahoe does provide dry bags however, we are not responsible for any lost or damaged items.

No. Guests will not be required to swim as part of the described activity.  Clearly Tahoe provides US Coast Guard approved life preserves as well as a lifeguard certified staff member on site.

We highly recommend double kayaks as guests can take turns paddling and taking photos. Single kayaks are also available. Children must be 12 years or older to operate their own kayak with adult supervision.
