Tour Description

Explore the beautiful waters of Donner Lake! Just a short drive from Downtown Truckee and surrounded by the peaks of Donner Pass, Donner Lake is a true High Sierra gem. Your guides will first cover an introductory lesson on shore. Then, we head out on the water for a leisurely paddle where more paddling tips will be offered. Ecology, geology and other natural and human history topics will be discussed along the way. Our paddle explores the many sides of Donner Lake including China Cove and the calm waters of the estuary.

Tour includes Stand Up Paddleboard, paddle, PFD, professional guide, instruction, permit fees, natural and human history discussions and snacks.

This tour requires a minimum of 6 people.

"We had an incredible sunset kayak tour with Tyler! He did a fantastic job at leading us around the lake and showing us beautiful spots on the water while providing interesting history about the lake. 10/10 would recommend, so peaceful and beautiful!" -Evan M.

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.

"By far the absolute BEST adventure I have ever chosen! The Company does an amazing job at keeping in contact with you, frequently providing keen information for the tour; directions, parking permit, appropriate attire, answering any and ALL questions you may have! Our tour guide Zach was beyond AWESOME (if we could give 12/10 rating, would so would!) My boyfriend and I are from Miami, where we all know there are no mountains. The hike itself is do-able with frequent breaks. Zach was so patient with us, provided some great historical tips, and never stopped motivating us to get to the top!!! After the hardest climbs, came the best views. Seriously book this tour with NO hesitation." Carolyn H.

"What a fabulous experience! None of us had ever snowshoed before and Zach did a fantastic job of guiding us based on our ability level. He was patient, knowledgeable, communicative, and wonderful. Would do again!" -Katrina B.

I went kayaking today with a youth group I volunteer with, ages 10 to 14. We had a great time! The instructors were helpful and knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe. We paddled out into Tahoe Lake individually, including a boat race, and then the kids got to swim (with their life vests) in the lake, or play games between the kayaks. The bottom wasn't more than 30 feet deep. We spent about 2.5 hours on the water. On the way in, we linked all the kayaks and paddled as a chain. Nice teamwork! Overall a great experience. I hope to return again. -Chris C.
