The crowds on the beaches of South Lake Tahoe can be enormous during the 4th of July Fireworks, but you can paddle away from the scores of viewers in a kayak, and get the best seat in the house for viewing the Independence Day display in the sky. This tour begins at 7:30pm and ends just after the fireworks (usually around 9:45pm). We provide lights for your kayak, so we stay safe out on the water. We'll do a short kayak tour where we view the sunset over the peaks above Emerald Bay, then paddle back to get the best view of the fireworks display.
