We went on the sunset tri-maran. A very nicely run company.

We took a boat tour from Zephyr cove - it was a narrated tour with lunch. The food was more like "make your own sandwich" with salads and desserts. I think we drove up, got the tickets and got on the boat - no advance reservations.

It was nice, and I'd do it again. The tour was narrated, the boat has enclosed and opened spaces - for any weather.

We also took a bus tour around the lake - it was an 18-seats van, this was sold out, needed reservations. They picked up at the hotel and brought us back, the tour lasted an hour longer than scheduled.

where did you find the bus tour? Do you remember how much it was? Was it worthwhile as opposed to driving ourselves?

I Googled :) They have several tours, and pick up from certain hotels only - and I checked the website, only on Tuesdays. Some tours are seasonal.

Don't remember how much it was, now it's $45.

For us it was worthwhile as we don't drive. Came to South Tahoe from San Francisco on Amtrak train-bus combo.

I remember the bus was an hour late coming back, and one couple on our bus got nervous being late to the evening boat tour - so plan accordingly.

gypsy - where are you staying. Harrah's has a boat tour. Here is some information about it. http://www.laketahoestar.com/

Oops. Sorry. Just noticed that gypsy's trip has come and gone.
