Lake Tahoe: New multi-day kayak tours
September 8, 2010

By Benoit Lebourgeois, Special to the Los Angeles Times

No bellman will ask whether you wish to valet-park your kayak, but other guests might throw you curious looks if you stand at the front desk, paddle in hand.

Unlike them, you would have traveled to your Lake Tahoe hotel over water as a participant in one of the Tahoe Adventure Co.'s new guided excursions around the west and north shore of the lake.

The Lodge to Lodge Kayaking tours, lasting two to four days, are energetic but not too demanding, thanks to fast, two-person sea kayaks, said company owner Kevin Hickey. Participants cover about seven to nine miles each day, traveling between Sunnyside Resort in Tahoe City, Calif.; Mourelatos Lakeshore Resort in Tahoe Vista , Calif.; and the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino in Incline Village, Nev. They overnight at the resorts.

And there is no heavy luggage to haul.

"We shuttle the gear from hotel to hotel, so people paddle only with the stuff they need for the day," Hickey said.

The first trip is scheduled for Sept. 23. Later trips will be by request through early October. Prices vary by group size. Count on paying no more than $520 per person for two days/one night, $990 for three days/two nights and $1,290 for four days/three nights, including meals.

"We had a great time on our sunset snowshoe tour with Nikki. She was very considerate of our group's needs and offered options to ensure that everyone was able to participate and have fun. The snowshoeing was easy to get the hang of thanks to her tips and we really enjoyed being among the trees and seeing great views!" -Ashley B.

Our Adventures

Had a great time on the North Shore Kayak last Monday. This is the second time I've used your company. Our guide, I think his name was Kerry, (he grew up in Sacramento) did a fabulous job and was very patient with 2 novices, myself and a friend. It was just the three of us, so we had great one-on-one attention. He excels in customer service skills, which is a lost art these days. The day was perfect and the lake was beautiful so it was a win-win all around. -Patti L.

Water Adventures
