Things to do over the New Year's Day long weekend in Lake Tahoe (Updated 2026)

The company makes everything so easy. Tickets were easy to download. Tour operators were great. Interesting and informative information.

I have been to Emerald Bay many times but always wanted to ride the Dixie 11 and it wasn't a letdown. This was beautiful, highly recommended'

Marcus is incredibly knowledgeable! It was cool to learn the history of Reno. He was probably the best tour guide I’ve come across.

It is a fun experience and a great way to see Lake Tahoe. I would highly recommend it. The pilot was very good and the ride was very smooth.

If you’re in Tahoe, this is a must do! Unbelievable blue waters. Cole was an amazing guide, very chill.

My husband invited me to go to the show for our anniversary – 42 years! But I told him I don’t like magic shows He reassured me that it would be good because it was comedy. I cannot believe how good the show was and how special Alex is. I feel so fortunate to be able to say that this was the best magic show I’ve ever seen. He’s such a great entertainer with a huge heart. Best of all his magic is incredible his humor delightful and he really knows how to put on a great show. Thank you so much, Alex!

It was really easy to find the venue and all of the staff was very nice and helpful. The show itself was so fun and interactive. The magician made sure to keep the crowd laughing and ensured children were able to participate. He had so much patience with the young kids and made sure to let us know that any jokes towards the crowd/audience were strictly out of fun and entertainment to keep the audience engaged. Unfortunately you only get one drink in the venue at the beginning so make sure to grab your drinks before entering. 10/10 would recommend again

We had a lot of selections and was really full by the end of the tour. It was money well spent. I would definitely recommend

Beautiful views, food was excellent, and very friendly staff. Band was great the captain gave great talks about the scenery and where what we were seeing.

This was a must do activity for us during our time around Lake Tahoe. The views were breathtaking and we learned so much about the lake and this area. Our guide was excellent. We had just 6 people on the tour so it was a nice small group.The breeze was quite strong that morning and it was a physically challenging 3 hours - we were both beat - and we are experienced kayakers. Even after we turned around we didn't really have a tail wind. It might have been easier if we'd rented a tandem kayak.We highly recommend this outing - the sights are fantastic and we found it worth it to have a guide take us out and share wonderful info with us. He didn't take any pics on the outing but we got a few of our own. We were also able to leave a bag at the tent during the outing which was helpful!

Lovely evening. Interesting history and description of the lake and sites viewable from the boat. Service is excellent and food is very good. Tips are not included, but it wasn't clear how to give a tip so I put it on our drink tab.

Really great instructors, very knowledgeable and helpful. Well organised , I would definitely recommend to friends

Captain Chad was great. He is very knowledgeable & the boat was super nice. Looking forward to going out next summer.

From start to finish, we had an absolute blast, Skyler made it even more exceptional thank you Truckee River for having us!

The only way to see Lake Tahoe.Truly a great experience!!

The whole team works so great together It had been years since we’ve been rafting felt that we were in very capable hands. Thanks Ivan and group!
