Something fun to do in Tahoe - Lots of fun! It’s about a 5k hike. Straight up hill. Then straight down hill. Seth was the guide. He was really good! Such a great experience

Enjoy the beauty of Tahoe away from the crowds - Very fun experience! I took this tour last year and enjoyed it so much I came back this year. Our guide was very knowledgeable and able to accommodate a group with varying levels of snowshoe ability. Enjoy the beauty of Tahoe removed from the ski crowds, a refreshing experience.

This half day snow shoe... - This half day snow shoe tour is great! I would recommend for someone who is relatively active as a few of the inclines were challenging but doable. The tour guides were great and took several breaks to allow for photos and a sip of water. I will definately book again when I return to Tahoe.

Fun Day with Great Views Snow Shoeing - Our guides were knowledgeable and super fun to spend the time with. We never snow shoed before but quickly felt comfortable with their expert instruction. The vistas were gorgeous for great photos and we even had a chance to make snow angels and check out some seasonal snowmen. Highly recommend! Thank you!
