The Outdoors
At Tahoe Whitewater Tours we believe that spending time in the outdoors is a crucial part of enjoying life to the fullest, and that experiencing natural environments brings real value to life. We believe that the best way to experience the outdoors is through spending time on a river. Floating through meandering meadows, under towering trees, and through tall canyons does something special to the psyche. It is our goal to provide you with the most memorable river experience possible, to create more than a day on the river, to create a positive emotional connection to the outdoors. We want you to immerse your senses, to capture the feeling of warm sun on your skin, cool crisp mountain water splashing through the boat, the sounds of thrilling rapids around the bend. To create a experience not found anywhere else. Let our guides introduce you to the serenity a river can bring as they take you down some of the best whitewater in the west.
Gear
In addition to having an amazing staff, we are constantly updating and improving our gear. We believe that better equipment makes for a better experience. That’s why we put effort into bringing to you the most comfortable, reliable, professional equipment we can.
Through years of experience in the Whitewater industry our guides, owners, and employees have constantly discussed, researched, demonstrated, and created the most up-to-date equipment out there. Finding the best to use on and off the river. We are constantly looking for what’s best and trying to incorporate it. We want you to feel secure, comfortable, and stylish with us.
