2 Hour Private Emerald Bay Boat Tour

About this activity

Enjoy a private 2 hour boat tour of Emerald Bay on breathtaking Lake Tahoe. As you cruise through Emerald Bay and its crystal-clear waters, your eyes are drawn to the majestic Vikingsholm, a stunning Scandinavian-inspired mansion nestled on the shores of the bay. The tour continues, revealing the charming Fannette Island, adorned with a picturesque stone tea house that adds a touch of mystique to the surrounding mountains. As you round the bay, the boat brings you closer to Rubicon Point, where you witness panoramic vistas of the Sierra Nevada mountains, lakeside cliffs and crystal clear water!
