Adventure Tips
Plan Fuel Costs in Advance
Fuel is not included with boat rentals, so budget accordingly to avoid surprises on your trip.
Wear Non-Slip Footwear
Boat decks can be slick; sturdy shoes with good grip ensure safe boarding and moving around.
Bring Water and Sunscreen
Tahoe’s high elevation means stronger sun exposure—stay hydrated and protected during your trip.
Respect Quiet Beaches
Many secluded coves have fragile ecosystems; keep noise and waste to a minimum to preserve them.
