Lake Tahoe Boat Tours

Until you are enjoying the water from a Lake Tahoe boat tour, it’s hard to grasp the grandeur of one of the largest alpine lakes, which is surrounded by the Sierra Nevada mountain range.

Tahoe boats the best way to see the lake. So grab a camera, bring your sunscreen, and climb aboard one of my favorite Lake Tahoe boat tours this summer.

Dixie II departs daily from Zephyr Cove Resort and holds 500 passengers, making it the largest vessel cruising Lake Tahoe.  Emerald Bay is the destination, making the out and back around 2 1/2 hours.

Guest Reviews

Simply Incredible!

I can’t say enough great things about this experience! My boyfriend and I booked a 2 hour Sunset Cruise while visiting Lake Tahoe in the fall of 2020. This was our favorite part of our trip! Our tour guide was so fun and knowledgeable. He made sure we could see everything we wanted during our 2 hour tour, and at the end he even recommended some delicious dinner options from local restaurants! Overall, this was just a beautiful way to experience the lake! We can’t wait to visit again and try out some of their other tour options as well!

Awesome Experience!

If you are visiting South Lake Tahoe, this absolutely needs to be on your agenda! We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-hour excursion across the lake. Our captain, was very knowledgeable and friendly, and made the trip very relaxing and enjoyable. When we return to Lake Tahoe, we will definitely book another trip with Lake Tahoe Boat Rides and, hopefully, with the same Captain.

Excellent Experience!

Our Captain was the perfect blend of knowledgable, informative, respectful of family space, and interactive/fun for our first trip out on the lake in a boat. My boys had a blast tubing! The expense was well worth it and we will definitely be back again! Highly recommended!

We had a great time! Our boys said is was the best part of the vacation! The captains were perfect, fun and patient

Amazing Time!

The boat was perfect for our large group and the captains were awesome. Would definitely book this again, worth every cent!

Highly recommend for a cool experience

I didn’t want to rent a boat and have the hassle of driving it, tubing safely or parking it when I have little experience powering a boat myself, we decided to rent the boat with a captain and it was great! He tells you a little about the history of the lake where you sightsee, and does whatever you want. We went tubing, we jumped in the lake to swim, we picnicked, played music, etc. all without a worry… I would highly recommend for at least a special occasion. I have 2 littles under the age of 4 (I brought their life jackets to wear the whole time), and they surprisingly loved it!

Best part of our Tahoe trip

Had such an amazing time on our boat ride. Went with our family and another and everyone agreed it was the highlight of the trip. Our captain made this day what it was. Super friendly, helpful and offered superior guidance to help maximize our day. The boat was nice and clean and had all the toys that the kids and adults wanted… tubing, wakeboarding, etc. Staff was always responsive when reserving and leading up to our trip.

Absolutely amazing experience!!

The boat was so luxurious (it even had a bathroom on board!) and they got literally every single thing on our itinerary done for us! ESPECIALLY during this Covid time the fact that the boat was so clean and private was absolutely perfect! Could not recommend this experience enough!!!

Great experience, highly recommend

Great morning and lots of fun for 5 of us on the lake with our Captain. Waterskiing, tubing and sight seeing. Everything was professional and high quality from the booking to the checking in to the actual lake experience. The Captain let us know this was ‘our time’ and we could spend as long or as little on whatever activity. He was very patient and informative, and ensured our safety at all times. Highly recommend as a great way to enjoy the lake.

Unforgettable experience!

Beautiful boat, amazing captain! Could not wish for a better experience for my 50th Bday celebration. We will definitely return and ask for him again. He was professional, kind, accommodating and super nice.

Summer Fun with family!

This was the highlight of our vacation! Our captain was the best! We loved the day and definitely would recommend the 4 hr trips.

Highlight of our trip

If you are visiting Tahoe, the only way to fully embrace its beauty is going out on the water! Our captain was so great sharing history of sites around the lake as well as making sure our time on the water was everything we wanted. My husband and kids all tubed and our sides hurt from laughing so much! Do yourself a huge favor and book this now.

5 Lake Tahoe Cruises You Need To Book Right Now

The best advice we could ever give you—book the boat tour. Seriously, we’ve done it all and we’re here to tell you that a summer day on one of these epic Lake Tahoe cruises is simply unmatched.

The beach days, the backcountry hikes, the kayak excursions; they’re epic. But there’s just something about a boat ride that can’t be touched. You’ll get it when you’re gliding into Emerald Bay, sipping a chilled IPA on a sunset cruise or anchored in crystal clear waters at your own private cove.

That’s when you’ll pour one out for the good folks at Epic Lake Tahoe that convinced you, “I need that Lake Tahoe boat tour.” Now you just have to choose which one.

Sip wine on a sunset sail to Emerald Bay.

Wine and sunsets. There’s just something about the combo that works, and trust us, it only gets better when paired with a calm Emerald Bay. Although there’s no shortage of sunset cruises to choose from around Lake Tahoe, nothing elevates the moment quite like the quiet drift of a sailboat.

Save the sails billowing in the wind and cool water spraying against the bow, your journey from South Lake Tahoe to Emerald Bay with Sail Tahoe Blue will feel like magic. No motor, no wake—just an easy breeze powering you along.

Find a comfortable spot on the deck, then tip back a glass of cold, local beer or wine as you glide past Mt. Tallac and some of Tahoe’s favorite beaches. Once in Emerald Bay, you’ll get a close look at the Vikingsholm Castle and the lake’s only island before sailing back to Ski Run Marina.

Especially if you’ve never been sailing before, this is absolutely one of the best Tahoe boat cruise experiences. It really is an unmatched feeling to float through the Sierras off the water & wind alone.

Lock in the most epic sunset of all time on a 2-hour sailing cruise around Lake Tahoe with Sail Tahoe Blue. Premium beer & wine included.

Discover hidden coves on a private boat tour with a captain.

Okay, we know we just waxed poetic about a sunset, happy hour cruise but we’ve got another absolute gem of a Lake Tahoe boat tour in the lineup. If you want the ultimate summer day—and we’re talking the one you think back on for years to come—then a sun-drenched cruise with Boat Tahoe is the way to go.

Pack up the cooler and join your friendly captain on board for one of our favorite boat tours around South Lake Tahoe. Blue skies and the midday sun will transform the lake’s infamously cool waters into the perfect spot to cool off.

Ask your captain to you show around the iconic Emerald Bay sites, suit up for water sports, or simply let them show off the lake’s hidden gems. Tuck into a secluded cove near D.L. Bliss, where you can jump off boulders or anchor in Zephyr Cove for a picnic on the sun deck.

Best of all, your captain will curate the whole experience. Whether it’s breezy, busy or simply a little too boozy, your only job is to kick back and enjoy it.

A private captain, a spacious boat, your crew of six—it’s the perfect recipe for the ultimate day on Lake Tahoe. Discover the best spots on the lake with a 4-hour private boat charter!

Pair a legendary drink with legendary views.

Having one too many of the Camp Richardson Rum Runners is just one of those South Lake Tahoe must-do’s. And while you could always visit The Beacon, we’re partial to slurping down that tropical drink on one of everyone’s favorite Lake Tahoe cruises.

At just 1.5 hours round-trip, the Rum Runner boat tour out to Emerald Bay is half scenic cruise, half party boat. It’s the perfect quick trip—just the right amount of time to buy your friends a round of Rum Runners from the on-boat bar, soak in the views and get back to the marina to chill on the beach.

A great experience for bigger groups or families with kids, these daily tours are one of the easiest (and most fun!) options to get on the water.

Slice into a ribeye dinner cruise beneath the stars.

A year-round classic, sailing from the Zephyr Cove Resort, daytime cruises, dinner cruises and private charters aboard the M.S. Dixie II are always at the top of our list.

But the dinner cruise in particular, with its golden hour departure, full bar and elevated menu transform a scenic boat ride into a can’t-miss Lake Tahoe experience.

The M.S. Dixie II is one of the few Lake Tahoe boat tours that runs no matter what the season. The 500-passenger paddle-wheeler can make a smooth ride out of stormy seas, with a heated salon and dining room with live music. In the summer months, steal out to the sun deck to watch the alpenglow light up the mountain skyline.

Family-friendly and excellent for large groups, this iconic ride around Lake Tahoe is well-loved among locals, tourists and everyone in between.

Enjoy the happiest hour during a North Lake Tahoe cruise.

Everything you’ve seen up until this point has departed from South Lake Tahoe. The Tahoe Gal fixes that. Hands down the best boat cruise from the north side of the lake, this historic paddle-wheeler operates daily tours along the stunning west & north shores of Lake Tahoe.

Tours run daily, with on-board food & beverage available for purchase. Family-friendly options like their morning brunch cruise are always an amazing time, but we’re partial to the 1.5 hour happy hour cruise for obvious reasons.

You’re going for the views, of course, but the long list of martini cocktails and curated selection of local wines doesn’t hurt. Make it a special event by bringing a large group along, or keep it intimate as a date night excursion.

Either way, a happy hour on a boat always trumps a regular ol’ restaurant happy hour in our book.

This list has the potential to be really long because, well, we’re firm believers that these Lake Tahoe cruises are some of the best ways to spend your time and money.

But—let’s be honest. Can you imagine anything better than a sunny day spent on a beautiful boat? A cold water plunge? A chilled Rum Runner paired with mountain views? God speed on that booking, folks.

(Rather rent your own boat? We’ve know a few good pontoon and party boat rentals around the lake too.)

Here are Lake Tahoe’s best beaches (along with parking tips)

Apr 13, 2024 • 6 min read

Parking can be competitive at Lake Tahoe’s glorious reasons for a reason © 4FR / Getty Images

With soft golden sand and clear, blue waters reflecting the rugged peaks of the Sierra Nevada , Lake Tahoe ’s beaches are astonishingly beautiful.

There’s a catch, though: of this alpine lake’s 72 miles of shoreline, only 34 miles are open to the public . And that public shoreline is in high demand indeed; Lake Tahoe’s beaches are often at capacity from Memorial Day through the end of September. 

To put it mildly, public beach access here can be confusing to first-time visitors. Which is why we’ve put together this list of the best beaches in Lake Tahoe – including tips for how to gain entry.

1. Sand Harbor State Park 

Chances are you’ve seen it in pictures. Sand Harbor ’s sandy coves, enormous boulders and bright turquoise water make it one of the most photographed spots on the lake. One of four Nevada state parks in and around Lake Tahoe, Sand Harbor is home to several beaches. Main Beach is a 2500-ft-long strip of wide, golden sand. Just north of the visitor center, small coves with dramatic rock formations offer visitors platforms from which to jump in the water or soak up the sun. 

Sand Harbor is one of Lake Tahoe’s most accessible beaches , and features a long, wheelchair-friendly boardwalk that overlooks the lake. Other amenities include an underwater dive park, picnic areas, barbecue grills, restrooms, a visitor center, seasonal kayak rentals and a boat launch.

In summer, it also plays host to the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival , which produces Broadway musicals, orchestras and tribute shows, in addition to works by the Bard. 

Planning tip: If you’re visiting during high season, it’s wise to arrive before the gates open (usually 7am in summer). Once the parking lot has filled, the entrance won’t reopen until around 5pm, regardless of how many people leave in the interim. 

Parking is $10 for vehicles with Nevada plates and $15 for everyone else. If you’re attending a festival show, you can purchase parking in advance – which is only valid after 5pm on the day of your performance. 

2. Emerald Bay State Park 

Emerald Bay State Park , on the California side of the lake, is rugged and wild. A highlight here is the unusual Vikingsholm Castle , a historic Scandinavian-style estate you can tour. The wide, sandy beach in front of the house is a popular place for picnics and swimming, offering stellar views of the bay and Fannette Island (the only island in the lake). A second beach is located a mile north, adjacent to a boat-in campground. 

Planning tip: You’ll have to hike about a mile down a steep hill to get to the beaches of Emerald Bay State Park – which means you’ll also have to hike a mile to get back up. Fortunately, there are restrooms, a seasonal visitor center and kayak rentals by the shore. 

Parking is $5 per vehicle and is extremely competitive from Memorial Day through the end of September. If you can’t be there first thing in the morning, space typically opens up again after 3pm. 

3. Kiva Beach

Comprised of sand and rock, and boasting expansive views of Mt Tallac and the Sierra Nevada, 600ft-long Kiva is the perhaps the most dog-friendly beach in Lake Tahoe. With a creek, marsh and forest close by, it’s a great place for enjoying nature. Seasonal amenities include restrooms, a picnic shelter and a beach volleyball court. Kiva Beach is generally less crowded than other Lake Tahoe beaches, so if you’re planning a last-minute trip to enjoy some sun and sand, it’s a good bet. 

Planning tip: Dogs must remain leashed at all times. Though parking is limited, Kiva Beach is only a half-mile walk from Taylor Creek Visitor Center and accessible via the Pope-Baldwin Bike Path. 

4. Commons Beach 

The four-acre Commons Beach Park in downtown Tahoe City is one of the liveliest places on the Lake Tahoe waterfront. In summers, free Sunday-afternoon concerts and Wednesday-night movies on the beach rank among the best free things to do in Lake Tahoe . In addition to hosting some of the lake’s most popular events, Commons Beach offers picnic tables, barbecue grills, a climbing wall, a playground and a sandy beach for swimming and sunbathing. 

Planning tip: Parking is free but limited. Instead of driving yourself, we recommend using TART Connect , North Lake Tahoe’s free, curb-to-curb, on-demand ride service. 

5. Chimney Beach

Chimney Beach lies on national forest land, about two miles south of Sand Harbor State Park. The parking lot is on the opposite side of the trailhead on Hwy 28; from there, it’s a steep, half-mile hike to get down to the beach. (You’ll find no amenities by the shore – but there are portable restrooms and trash cans in the parking lot.) The beach itself is lovely, a curved strip of sand with lagoons and colossal boulders on and off the lakeshore. It takes its name from the stone chimney standing on the sand, which is all that remains of an old caretaker’s cabin. Since it’s off the beaten path, this beach doesn’t tend to get as crowded as its neighbor Sand Harbor. 

Local tip: A trail connects Chimney Beach to Secret Cove, Boaters Beach, Creek Beach and Whale Beach. All are lovely, with the same turquoise waters and smooth rock features that mark this part of the lake. Due to their remoteness, these coves are usually frequented by locals who have long treated them as clothing-optional beaches. 

6. Private Lake Tahoe beaches accessible to hotel guests

Public beach access can be tricky during summer, but there is a workaround. If you want to avoid long lines and uncertainty about parking – and you’re willing to pay for the privilege – a few Lake Tahoe hotels provide private beach access to guests.

The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe operates a Lake Club with a private beach . Exclusive to hotel guests who pay an extra fee, the Lake Club has many perks, including a shuttle service, kayak and SUP rentals, chef-prepared food and soft drinks (alcoholic beverages are an additional charge), an outdoor whirlpool spa and access to luxury speedboat rentals from MasterCraft. 

The Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa, and Casino is located across the street from a private beach in Incline Village. Hotel guests can reserve complimentary lounge chairs and cabanas; the resort also opens a seasonal open-air restaurant, seasonal floating bar and year-round fine-dining restaurant on the waterfront. 

Edgewood Tahoe Resort is one of the few true waterfront hotels in Lake Tahoe. Its long, sandy beach features lawn games and Adirondack chairs. Lounge chairs and rental cabanas are available a few steps away, at the pool.
