My husband and I enjoyed the sightseeing cruise very much. Emerald Bay is beautiful and this is the perfect way to see it. The Captain told us so many interesting facts about Lake Tahoe and Emerald Bay. We were fortunate to be there on a beautiful day and the cruise was so fun. I highly recommend this cruise.

Boat left on time. Narration by Captain was very good. Scenery was beautiful. Had covering to protect from rain. This was a very good tour. Only draw back was a small sized beverage and a bagged snack so only 4 stars for value but this tour is still a must do if you are in the Tahoe area.

All 3 gentlemen were amazing! Entertaining, kind, helpful, informative. Their great customer service made this tour worth it. William and August (sorry if I’m misspelling) were very warm and genuinely nice. Another specific detail that I also appreciate is that there were pauses throughout the tour about the information being narrated so we can enjoy without the background voice on a speaker nonstop.
