Lake Tahoe cruises aboard the Tahoe Bleu Wave
If you’re looking to add a quiet sightseeing cruise to your Lake Tahoe vacation, the Tahoe Bleu Wave is a great way to get out on the lake and avoid the crowds (as often found on the larger ships). Offering Emerald Bay lunch cruises, Emerald Bay sightseeing cruises and sunset dinner cruises, you can experience an up-close and personal experience with Lake Tahoe at different times of the day, with or without a meal. The cruises range from 2 to 2.5 hours. They also offer private charters and wedding cruises.

I have personally tried their food and it is delicious! Their service was impeccable and professional. Candance and her husband Lorne were an absolute delight and pleasure to work with.

Paddle Boarding in Lake Tahoe
If you looking for a different outdoor activity to add to your Tahoe vacation, a new activity is on the rise in the Lake Tahoe area — paddle boarding. If you are not familiar with paddle boarding, picture a surfer standing on a board, with no waves, using a single paddle to move along in the water. Paddle boarding is becoming quite popular on Lake Tahoe because of the crystal-clear, calm waters and weather; the ideal conditions for paddle boarding. So popular, in fact, that local boat rental companies are now renting them out to the public, and there has just been the 2nd annual Lake Tahoe Paddle Festival here on the South Shore this past weekend. It is a great activity the whole family can take part in and to do get out on the lake and do some sightseeing!

If you are looking for a unique way to do some sightseeing while on your Tahoe vacation, a ride in a hot air balloon could be just the thing. Lake Tahoe Balloons offers two kinds of rides, Lake Tahoe Flights and Carson Valley Flights. The Lake Tahoe Flight inflates, launches and lands on the upper deck of the Tahoe Flyer (the world’s only USCG certified balloon launch and recovery aircraft carrier vessel). Flying from lake level to approximately 8,000-10,000 feet above sea level provides breathtaking, undisturbed views of the entire Lake Tahoe Basin and the Sierra Nevada mountain range including Emerald Bay, Fallen Leaf Lake, Cascade Lake and the Desolation Wilderness. The package includes complementary transportation to the launch site, deluxe continental breakfast, pleasurable boat cruise, approximately one hour flight, traditional champagne toast celebration and a special logo souvenir! They recommend wearing layers due to the flight beginning just after sunrise and warming up with the propane heaters, and comfortable walking shoes. And don’t forget your camera! The total trip time takes approximately 4 hours.
