    Anthony was so nice and made my two furbabies feel super welcome, they loved him! The Hobie kayaks were wider than the standard kayaks, so it felt extremely stable, even with my two dogs in the back. Anthony even had a rubber mat for my dogs to sit on so they didn't slip and slide. Thank you Anthony for making sure we had a great experience. We'll be back for sure!

    The day we scheduled for kayaking ended up being very overcast, with intermittent showers. Anthony called in the morning to make sure we were still up for the excursion. We said yes, and it ended up being an amazing day. Anthony gave us very clear direction, since we were all novices. The equipment was top notch - very stable and easy to navigate. We would definitely recommend Day Go Adventures for anyone interested in a fun day on Lake Tahoe!

    If you're in South Lake Tahoe and would like to kayak, I highly recommend Day Go Adventures. Booking an appointment, making the payment and signing waivers online was very easy! We got a bit lost trying to find the rental area (follow instructions via your email confirmation), but we called Anthony and he gave us great directions. Head to the boat landing at Cave Rock. If you're coming from the CA side, it is right before the tunnel and right after from the Reno side. Once we found Anthony, he was super friendly and gave us some tips on where to go since the water was a bit choppy that day. We reserved two hours, but since the water was choppy, Anthony offered to refund us an hour if we decided we were feeling uneasy and just wanted to spend an hour on the water. The kayaks are in great shape and he gave us specific instructions on how to use them. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend Go Day Adventures!

    Beautiful Lake Tahoe!

    We rented a tandem and a single kayak from these guys for 2 hours and had an amazing time! They were willing to help us out even though it was still off-season! Chris was the one who delivered the kayaks to us and he was very nice and extremely helpful! He even made sure we stayed dry! I have kayaked before, but never with the awesome peddle Hobie kayaks...I really want to buy one! After a 7 night, 1100 mile road trip/vacation, this was one of our favorite things we did the whole trip! Chris, thanks so much; you were the best!

    Dog friendly kayaking!

    All the excitement of kayaking with no need to plan! We had a beautiful day on the water at Caverock. Everything was great from calling ahead for info the online booking the courteous shuttle driver and the assistance with kayaks. Everyone treated us well and our dog! Can't say enough good things. Oh and the variety of kayaks available we tried the foot peddle hobies and they did not disappoint! We brought our own dog life jacket but they provide them at no charge!

    Anthony and family were great. Was able to bring my dog and they provided vests for us. Pedaling is so much easier and gives you better opportunity for taking pictures with your free hands. The kayaks also have paddles/oars . Weather was beautiful would definitely do again! Thanks!

    Anthony and team were great! Things were safe all around and it was an easy pickup/drop off with their shuttle. They even offered snacks, had spare face masks, and sanitizer on the shuttle in case you needed it. Us and our pup had a great time!

    Double pedal hobie Lake Tahoe
    Aaron F.

    This was my first time using pedals. To say the least this was fun pedaling around Lake Tahoe. The rental was $89 for 2 hours. It was a busy day and usually have alot of people renting them out. They squeezed me in and were able to get me in 2 double pedals Hobie's. The gentleman gave a full breakdown on how to use the Hobie's and was very nice and outgoing. The smile on my sons face was priceless and glad we were able to expierence lake Tahoe in a different way.

    Thanks to Anthony and his company for making our morning kayaking a special time on the lake! The shuttle picked us up and brought us directly to the site. He nicely upgraded us to the better pedal kayak knowing that it would be a lot easier to navigate especially with our dog Austin in tow! And of course there was a life vest for him too! This company is very conscientious about keeping their customers safety and health in mind.

    If you guys are looking for an activity as a couple or family, Day go Adventures kayaking is the spot! My boyfriend and I booked a kayak that comes with foot paddling!!!! ISNT THAT AWESOME. But if you are guys just trying to experience regular kayaking they also have different options. I will recommend booking your appointments early around 9am because it is the best time as you can in my pictures down below. I believe the coast guards told me the weather will get picked up later on. And the owner is really cool, he does everything by himself!! If you guys want a great view of the lake with an activity this is the spot!

    I couldn't recommend kayaking through these guys enough!!!!! Every person who we met/spoke to was sooo pleasant and kind. Pricing is comparable to every other kayak rental we looked at in the Tahoe area. I booked over the phone with Ellen, who was sooooo helpful (looked at multiple days/times to find what worked for our group), encouraged us to bring our dog even when I was uncertain, and was just the sweetest lady. Laurie was our bus driver from the parking lot to the dock, and she was literally so sweet, basically a tour guide through the area. On the way back she gave us granola bars! And the guys working down at the dock who got us set up and helped us get our dog on the kayak were so nice and friendly. Overall an amazing experience, we enjoyed ourselves so so so much!!!!!!!

    Loved our experience tandem kayaking. I came across DayGo Adventures after reading a few blog posts that recommended this service. Cave Rock was about 13 minutes away from our hotel on the main strip. My Husband and I booked a 9am slot on our Anniversary morning. Anthony was super helpful and informative. The water was clear & calm, weather in the Summer was perfect & parking was no hassle. After some tips & education on handling the equipment Anthony had us on our way. The tandem peddling Kayaks made it super relaxing to peddle and take in the scenery and take lots of pictures. Although we booked a 4 hour slot, Anthony was chill & told us to come back whenever we wanted. We packed sandwiches & docked in a shady cove for lunch. All in all we were on the water for 3 hours. Beautiful experience. We will definitely return with the Family. Thanks for a memorable experience!

    Had a great experience with this outfit. Equipment is in great condition, clean life vests, friendly staff. Had a small group out there for a reunion and they treated us with the utmost professionalism. There wasn't a group behind us so they even they let us ride a little bit longer. Will definitely be recommending and using them again!

    I took my 2 grandsons, ages 12 and 16 on the tour. What a blast and very well organized. We started…read morewith a safety talk which included how to raft, what to expect and then introduced to our guide. Our guide, Simon, was the AWESOME! She was our captain and kept us on the best course for an awesome experience. OMG, we all had so much fun, got wet laughed, dipped in the calm water, then wooshed around the rapids, repeatedly. The trip was from Boca to Floriston with class I-III rapids. They also have a photographer who captured just about everything. I highly recommend this company. We will definitely do this again. Thanks Tahoe Whitewater.

    My neighbor told me about this place and I had no idea. She had taken her grandsons on it the week…read moreprior and when she told me about it I said let's go! We made reservations for 1:15 and got there at 12:30. We checked in and pretty soon we had more people show up. A young man, his name is Adam, started us off by handing out life jackets and helmets. Adam then told us how to put them on and telling us a little about the rafting. We then headed down to the River and he then started telling us about safety issues. At the end he started separating everyone into groups of 4 and 6. Since it was just my neighbor and I we were very lucky to get not just Adam, as our guide, but his girlfriend Reese(who is also a guide) and Reese's sister. It was a prefect day, no wind, it was hot and all I wanted to do was jump in. We started out, got a little ways down and we were able to jump in. Water was cold but felt really good. I went to get back in and the 2 girls knew exactly what they were doing just hoisted me in. Very impressive. We went down some really good rapids and Adam was very good on directing us on when to paddle and when to stop paddling. At one of the rapids we stopped at the bottom to wait for the rest of the boats in our group to make sure everyone got thru safely. One boat turn on its side and everyone fell out except the guide. Adam had already told us what to do if something like this should happen. So my neighbor and I put out our oars and pulled one person close to the boat and hoisted her in. We felt like pros! We had a really good time. Everyone was so friendly. My neighbor and I are already planning another trip! Sorry I don't have any pictures. I couldn't take my phone with me. There was a photographer there and he was on the shore at different places. At the end you could pictures if you would like

The group can only access this beach with the shuttle & tour group so make sure to read everything in the email. The clear kayaking is done at Sand Harbor which was absolutely gorgeous. All of the guides we met and interacted with were super cool, nice, and helpful. Using a clear kayak is particularly cool when you go over rocks and boulders in the lake. The kayaking was not too strenuous and I would definitely recommend for beginners like myself. It is a bit more pricey to do the clear kayak tours as opposed to renting a regular kayak so it's something to consider, but by doing the tour I got to see a part of the lake I had never been to (and is a bit harder to get to) and also got instructions and tips for kayaking. We thought the tour would go a little farther/longer too but it was still cool. Kayaks are available as singles or doubles with weight limits so be sure to take that into account when booking. It was late July when we went so the weather was nice and warm. We wore swim shorts and dry fit shirts with UV protection. Our legs got a little wet from water splashing off the paddle but it felt great. They do lend you dry bags to use if you have any items you want to keep on you while kayaking. I did use the dry bag for my sunscreen, water bottle, wallet/fanny pack. They also said we could leave belongings in their life jacket van at the beach, which some people chose to do. I would recommend packing light though. I am glad we booked this adventure. I think after going with a tour group now I feel more confident to rent a kayak and head out without a tour next time I visit Tahoe.

The top is awesome for sunbathing on and heating up before sliding (literally) into the crisp and crystal clear Tahoe waters. Then, when you need some reprieve from the sun, the shade underneath is perfect. Joey was our captain. He was the ideal captain. Efficient, helpful, and would engage in conversation if you included him but not the type that turns into a "Chatty Kathy". Joey also navigated the boat like a pro-- I'm still impressed by how smooth he was able to keep the ride when going fairly fast even when we went through other boats' wakes. None of us got nauseous / "sea sick" (especially impressive because I was about 8 weeks pregnant). The included BBQ and cooler were nice to have, and the lily pad was a blast for our toddlers (though any age would enjoy it-- the adults in our group certainly did in between our shifts of child monitoring). We went to Emerald Bay on Joey's recommendation. There was a dock there that we pulled up to at the end for a quick bathroom break (at our kids' request) before motoring back across the lake to return to where we started. We met the guy who owns the company (Russel?) at a whiskey tasting event in Reno. Through the booking and confirmation experience we were really impressed by his professionalism and ability to remember his customers. What an all around great guy-- definitely someone you'd feel good about supporting as a business owner. Pro tip: get wet before using the slide and/or lube up with some tanning oil first! Also, if you're on the half day tour, fire up the bbq as soon as you anchor if you're cooking anything more substantial than hot dogs (we did country style ribs) that way you'll give the meat plenty of time to cook. Also, Wakebusters has life vests but if your kid has one they are already used to that's probably the way to go (our kids tried both and preferred theirs from home). Finally, wet suits are not needed, but they certainly make it a lot more comfortable for the kids (and require less sunscreen to be applied).

It even had a bbq aboard,so we had a great meal out on the water, fun slides on the boat, and a great time just soaking up the sun out on the water.
