Visitors Love To Adventure With Us

"We loved our adventure! We kayaked to Thunderbird Lodge. Our guides, Collin and Bailey, were kind and competent making for a great day!" Sean N.

Thunderbird Lodge Kayaking

"Thanks for the kayak and sail package. Me and my friends had a wonderful time. Loved every bit of it, including the lunch. Our trip started with kayaking and though all of my friends were doing it for the first time, everyone could do it easily and our guide, Sean was really cool. Sean allowed us to have fun the way we wanted to and never rushed us. I would highly recommend this to my friends." Ben C.

Kayak Sail Package

"My family of 6 visited in July and booked a multi sport tour. We kayaked for about two hours in the am. Our guide Joel was great. Knowledgeable about the lake and it’s history. He set a good pace with breaks as we needed them. We ate a basic lunch of turkey sandwiches and then headed to Squaw valley for hiking. Very nice scenic hike at the right level for our group. Lots of wild flowers. It would have been hard to follow the trail without a guide. The company was great about answering all my questions and returning phone calls. One suggestion would be to provide a wider variety of snacks and drinks. Some gourmet touches to lunch like local homemade cookies would have been nice. We have had this with other tour companies. We would definitely book another trip." Larry F.
