Lake Tahoe is truly one of the most beautiful destinations in the world.  The lake is situated in what is aptly called “the Tahoe Basin", surrounded by the dramatic Sierra Nevada Mountains and thousands of acres of National Forests.  During this picturesque tour, we will journey through high mountain passes before dropping down to the lake’s basin, which is 6,200 feet in elevation.  Our knowledgeable Beyond Travel Tour Guide will provide us with fascinating facts about the area’s history, culture and geology.

Once we arrive at the marina, we'll board MS Dixie II, a replica of an historic paddlewheel boat, many of which plied the waters of the lake as public transportation, long before paved roads were built. 

Once on board and under way, much of the two-hour cruise is narrated and we'll hear some of the colorful stories about life around the lake during past times.  

While on-board the MS Dixie II, we will be served a delightful lunch, all the while viewing this beautiful setting.
