This one day trip from San Francisco to Lake Tahoe is a 12-hour round-trip door-to-door service. The trip requires 4 hours each way, or more, depending on traffic conditions, which leaves you 4-hours to enjoy sightseeing Lake Tahoe. There are many points of interests you will see along the way including the famous Emerald Bay and its photo stops, Rubicon Bay, Meeks Bay, Cave Rock, Crystal Bay, Zephyr Cove, South and North Shores views, marinas, state parks and much more.
If you decide to skip sightseeing Lake Tahoe, you may choose one of the following activities of your preference, including skiing and snowboarding at top ski resorts of Lake Tahoe such as Heavenly, North Star, Aline meadows or Squaw Valley Ski Resort. You may also take the Aerial Tram to High Camp at Squaw Valley or the gondola at Heavenly to the high country and enjoy breathtaking views. There you can play in the snow, take a snowmobile guided adventure, go tubing or sledding with your kids, family or friends, get a ski lesson package with ski lift tickets and ski rental equipment, go to snowshoe, go shopping at the many charming local boutique stores, or at one of the largest shopping outlets in Northern California. If shopping is not your preference you can enjoy a romantic getaway and best escapes for couples, go wine tasting, hit the slots or tables at the famous South Lake Tahoe Casinos or take a cruise ship tour on Lake Tahoe anytime of the year with the Tahoe Queen or MS Dixie II, and much more.
Travel itinerary:
This tour is completely private and not available for public reservations. We depart daily year-round from San Francisco Bay Area. We tailor the trip to your needs and preference.
In the morning, we leave San Francisco Bay Area around 7 am and head east towards Lake Tahoe on highway 80.We will drive to Sacramento, the capital of the state of California, and stop for breakfast in an authentic gold mining town in the heart of California Gold Country. From there, we will head to Lake Tahoe, either on highway 80 or 50, depending on traffic, weather and road conditions.
Once in Lake Tahoe, our private tour will take you around the lake to visit the best sights of Lake Tahoe including Emerald Bay or Meeks Bay, Fanny Bridge and the Truckee River in Tahoe City, Tahoe top state parks and beaches, Cave Rock, Logan Shoals Vista point, and visit Heavenly Village in SouthShore or Squaw Valley Ski Resort and village in the North Shore. You will enjoy unique photo stops, as well as the opportunity to try some of Tahoe’s top restaurants and do shopping.
In the afternoon, we will head back to San Francisco after touring Lake Tahoe’s top attractions. This Tahoe one-day trip is an opportunity for first time visitors who have only one day to spend in Tahoe or San Francisco Bay Area.However, we highly recommend the 2-day adventure trip, because you will spend about 10 hours in the vehicle on the one day tour, which leaves little time for the real and legendary Tahoe experience. This way, you don’t have to worry about a long 5-hour drive each way, getting stuck in traffic or in the snow.The 2-day experience is a must-do tour – it’s worth every penny you spend.
Tips and recommendations:
In winter, wear extra warm layers of clothing and a raincoat during winter and spring, carry snowshoes or at least hiking shoes and sunglasses. Allow plenty of time and expect delays because of traffic and weather conditions.
If you have a choice, avoid week-ends and holidays,which will ensure a more peaceful and less crowded, experience.
