About

We provide the kayaks/paddleboards, paddles, life jackets (available in all sizes child to adult XXXL), and a fun experience where you get to enjoy Lake Tahoe from a new perspective.
What to bring
• Wear clothes that are okay to get wet • The air can be quite crisp and chilly before the sun comes up over the mountains, so layers are always a good choice • No need to bring electronics or anything that shouldn’t get wet. You can bring your phone to take pictures if you want, but there’s always a risk of it falling in the water or getting wet
Additional Information
• 16 or older can go out without a guardian present. • Ages 7-15 must have an adult present in the water. • Ages 6 and under must be in the same boat as an adult.
