With temperatures ranging from a brisk 27°C to a warm 36.6°C, and a mix of sun, clouds, and the possibility of rain or snow, it’s a weekend that promises both excitement and serenity.

Start your day with a Scenic Yacht Tour on May 3rd, available from 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM. As the sun rises over the lake, the gentle morning breeze and the stunning views of Emerald Bay and Vikingsholm set the perfect tone for a day of exploration. The yacht tour offers a serene escape, allowing you to unwind and soak in the beauty of Lake Tahoe’s pristine waters. As one reviewer noted on October 7, 2024:

Spectacular views, even better captain! - Could not have had a better experience on this tour!!! The views speak for themselves, but Jason really made this experience what it was. He was incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and fun to hang out with. Anyone can drive a boat, but it takes a special guide to really make for an unforgettable trip. We never wanted it to end!
