What Guests Say
Real reviews from guests on our snowshoe tours.
★★★★★
We had the best time on our snowshoe tour with these guys so we came back and did the sunset tour this season. I recommend any of the activities that Tahoe Outdoor Adventures offers because they truly do take you off the beaten path and are so professional, genuinely warm and patient. If I could give them 10 stars I would. If you are considering booking a tour with them, just do it.

We booked a private snowshoe tour with them and it was definitely the highlight of our trip! Alex our guide was phenomenal and it was by far our favorite activity! The best views that we could have ever imagined and would not have been able to experience had we not done this tour with them! Our whole family enjoyed it so much that so we decided to do it again the next day!

Whenever you are in Lake Tahoe and want to book an adventurous tour, like snowshoeing or hiking, please ask for Michelle. Michelle is a shoo-in as your best tour guide. She takes you to areas where you can experience breathtaking views of the back country mountains and Lake Tahoe, while taking Instagram-worthy pics of you and your group. Trust.

Questions Guests Ask
I've never snowshoed. Is that OK?
Absolutely. First-timers are welcome, and your guide shows you how it works before you head out. If you can walk, you can snowshoe.
Which snowshoe tour should I pick?
The Scenic tour is our most popular and a great first tour. Pick Sunset or Starlight for something special, Half-Day if you want a longer backcountry trip, and Private if you want your own group, have young kids or are bringing a dog.
Can kids come?
Group tours are for ages 8 and up. Private tours have no minimum age.
What should I wear?
Snow boots, hiking boots or water-resistant athletic shoes (no heeled boots). Dress in warm layers, but skip cotton. A ski or snowboard jacket and snow pants are perfect. Bring a hat, sunglasses, gloves, sunscreen and at least 16 oz of water.
When does snowshoe season start?
As soon as there’s enough snow on the ground. That’s usually around mid-December. Until then, our electric dirt bike tours and guided hikes are running.
