Simply Incredible!

I can’t say enough great things about this experience! My boyfriend and I booked a 2 hour Sunset Cruise while visiting Lake Tahoe in the fall of 2020. This was our favorite part of our trip!
Our tour guide was so fun and knowledgeable. He made sure we could see everything we wanted during our 2 hour tour, and at the end he even recommended some delicious dinner options from local restaurants!
Overall, this was just a beautiful way to experience the lake! We can’t wait to visit again and try out some of their other tour options as well!

 

Awesome Experience!

If you are visiting South Lake Tahoe, this absolutely needs to be on your agenda! We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-hour excursion across the lake. Our captain, was very knowledgeable and friendly, and made the trip very relaxing and enjoyable. When we return to Lake Tahoe, we will definitely book another trip with Lake Tahoe Boat Rides and, hopefully, with the same Captain.

 

Excellent Experience!

Our Captain was the perfect blend of knowledgable, informative, respectful of family space, and interactive/fun for our first trip out on the lake in a boat. My boys had a blast tubing! The expense was well worth it and we will definitely be back again! Highly recommended!

Fantastic

We had a great time! Our boys said is was the best part of the vacation! The captains were perfect, fun and patient

Amazing Time!

The boat was perfect for our large group and the captains were awesome. Would definitely book this again, worth every cent!

Highly recommend for a cool experience

I didn’t want to rent a boat and have the hassle of driving it, tubing safely or parking it when I have little experience powering a boat myself, we decided to rent the boat with a captain and it was great! He tells you a little about the history of the lake where you sightsee, and does whatever you want. We went tubing, we jumped in the lake to swim, we picnicked, played music, etc. all without a worry… I would highly recommend for at least a special occasion. I have 2 littles under the age of 4 (I brought their life jackets to wear the whole time), and they surprisingly loved it!

Best part of our Tahoe trip

Had such an amazing time on our boat ride. Went with our family and another and everyone agreed it was the highlight of the trip. Our captain made this day what it was. Super friendly, helpful and offered superior guidance to help maximize our day. The boat was nice and clean and had all the toys that the kids and adults wanted… tubing, wakeboarding, etc. Staff was always responsive when reserving and leading up to our trip.

Absolutely amazing experience!!

The boat was so luxurious (it even had a bathroom on board!) and they got literally every single thing on our itinerary done for us! ESPECIALLY during this Covid time the fact that the boat was so clean and private was absolutely perfect! Could not recommend this experience enough!!!

Great experience, highly recommend

Great morning and lots of fun for 5 of us on the lake with our Captain. Waterskiing, tubing and sight seeing. Everything was professional and high quality from the booking to the checking in to the actual lake experience. The Captain let us know this was ‘our time’ and we could spend as long or as little on whatever activity. He was very patient and informative, and ensured our safety at all times. Highly recommend as a great way to enjoy the lake.

Unforgettable experience!

Beautiful boat, amazing captain! Could not wish for a better experience for my 50th Bday celebration. We will definitely return and ask for him again. He was professional, kind, accommodating and super nice.

Summer Fun with family!

This was the highlight of our vacation! Our captain was the best! We loved the day and definitely would recommend the 4 hr trips.

Highlight of our trip

If you are visiting Tahoe, the only way to fully embrace its beauty is going out on the water! Our captain was so great sharing history of sites around the lake as well as making sure our time on the water was everything we wanted. My husband and kids all tubed and our sides hurt from laughing so much! Do yourself a huge favor and book this now.
