The water of Lake Tahoe is world famous for its clarity. Ever since humans began settling in the area in the late-1800’s, people have marveled at being able to see up to 100-feet down in the water. The best way to get a front-row seat to this magical water? On a transparent kayak.

A tour company near South Lake Tahoe, aptly named Clearly Tahoe, provides guests with tours of the shoreline of Lake Tahoe in their beautiful clear kayaks, allowing visitors to experience the beauty of the lake above and below the water. Among the tour offerings with Clearly Tahoe is their Scenic Shoreline Tour, Sunset Tours and LED Stargazing Tour.

The company has stations at Zephyr Cove and the Tahoe Keys Marina, enabling them to give visitors a view of multiple areas of the lake. The most popular of the tours is the Scenic Shoreline Tour, which takes your along the rock formations of the east side of the lake. This tour only takes about and hour and 30 minutes and includes beginners, children over 5-years-old and even pets.

If you really want to get adventurous, you can also participate in their sunset or stargazing tours, which will give you a different perspective of the lake when the sun goes down. One of the most unique activities in Lake Tahoe is their LED tour, where you clear kayak lights up under the stars over the lake.

Of course, you can also do a self-guided tour, where your given the reigns of your own clear kayak and can explore the beauty of the lake on your own. There’s really no way to go wrong with Clearly Tahoe!
