We wanted a tour of the Lake Tahoe and thought taking a cruise on the Tahoe Queen would be a good way to see more of the Lake. The cruise takes you to Emerald Bay and back. It's 2 1/2 hours long and a bit steep in price for $47 per Adult. On board you can order food and drink... More

A great way to see the Lake and of course Emerald Bay which is the highlight of this trip. The narrator is excellent giving great advice and history but not being too over bearing. We left on the first crossing which some felt was a little chilly but we found it really refreshing and very sociable talking to other travellers.

AFter considering a drive around the lake, the Tahoe Queen was a better option, giving you the mountain views from various vantage points without the all day drive. The Queen is a real paddleboat and the crew is proud of that. A tour of the wheel house and a picture behind the wheel is a could fulfill a dream. Inside... More

Comfortable boat, lots of windows to view scenery. Enjoyed the captains narration of area. Emerald Bay was so neat to see from boat. Food was good, and drinks too.

We had a fantastic time. We had the most adorable little server, cricket. Her recommendations were right on. It was such a relaxing and breathtaking trip. Will do it again next time around.

Had previously taken the ride during the summer. The ride with snow on all the mountains was beautiful. Captain/Narrator was well informed and pointed out all the views of the Lake and surrounding mountains. Trip into Emerald Bay is always worth the ride. A nice plus on this trip was spotting the Bald Eagle in Flight.

My wife and I decided on a whim to take a long detour to Lake Tahoe on our way from Yosemite to San Francisco. I have had a longing to see the lake since watching Bonanza each week as a kid. While we only had about 5 hours in the area, it was well worth getting up early enough to... More

The ride was smooth and we got to see the sights along the banks of the lake. Food was good and plentiful. A great experience.

Good ride. Bathroom was unsatisfactory. Sound was ok for the movie that was shown. Very entertaining and relaxing ride around the lake.
