Description:
This 1.5 hour clear kayak tour offers guests a tranquil paddle along South Lake Tahoe’s frosted shoreline. After the aspens have shed their seasonal foliage the 150 year-old second-growth Sierra Nevada forest becomes the star of the show, towering along the still and peaceful shoreline. After a winter snowfall these treetops and surrounding historic settlements glitter above Lake Tahoe’s turquoise shoreline.  With impressive mountains and ski resorts encompassing the entire lake and a front row view of Mount Tallac’s snowcapped peak guests can find themselves in what feels like a life size snow globe. Lake Tahoe’s clarity levels peak during winter months and the fun of the clear kayaks below only add to this sensation. Learn about the influence that seasonal changes bring to the Lake Tahoe Basin as it’s residents, wildlife, and even the lake itself adapt to survive and thrive during the high Sierra winter.

This beginner level paddle is highly recommended for guests of all ages (5+) and skill levels looking to explore Lake Tahoe’s winter wonderland from a new perspective. At lake level winter visitors can expect milder winter days than those at the higher elevation ski resorts but should still be prepared to dress warmly in winter layers. This guided paddle is a relaxing and peaceful tour meant to help immerse guests in the beauty that winter brings to the Lake Tahoe Basin while sharing insights and fun facts about the lake and surrounding area. This tour is only conducted on days with ideal weather conditions and has a higher risk of cancellation than tours during other seasons.
