We had a terrific experience renting a paddle boat and paddling around the Commens beach. We have no prior experience. Theyoug Englishman from the shop gave me a brief instruction before handing me the paddle. The instructions were concise yet extremely clear beneficial. I was pleasantly surprise that I was able to stand up and paddle arund and had a great time.

I had a wonderful experience With Tahoe City Kayak and Paddleboard. Josh was our sunset guide and was very knowledgeable about the area and was fun to be around. He made sure before getting out on the water that the group knew how to use the paddle, and got to know our level of experience on the water and if in the water. Safety and Fun were his two top priorities and it showed. Being out on the water for sunset was incredible with the views we had and we were the only group on the lake so it was nice to have it all to ourselves! Thanks for a Great time !

We were so happy to find kayak rental that was still open on 9/26! Mike was great and the Commons Beach location was easy and really pretty. 4 of us had a fun time just cruising along the shore for a couple of hours! Highly recommend this great company for kayaks or SUPs.

Andrew & crew are class acts. Wanting to purchase a Kayak, he went overboard showing the correct Kayak for my purpose & let me take his personal Kayak for a demo. He stuck with me through the sale, showing the additional gear needed & helped set up rack for getting it Home, & gave excellent advice for help in my area. Great place here in Tahoe City!

Simon (Sy) was our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and lake. We had an amazing time. He gave a little lesson on proper paddling before we took off, and we had a nice pace going out on the water with a few breaks to ask questions and take photos and hear stories. Would highly recommend this tour. it was well worth it.

Nolan & Simon were one of the highlights of our trip to Tahoe. They both share so much interesting history of the lake along with excellent Kayak training for beginners and more experienced Kayakers with need of technique improvement. We absolutely loved our peaceful time with Nolan and Simon. Despite the expected cold evening, they prepared us well for the relaxed and fun tour. I have been kayaking for years and realized how much improvement my kayaking needs! I am coming back for lessons and some leisurely trips with these great guides.

We went on a sunset kayak tour. It was lovely. The two guides were fantastic. The colors in the sky were amazing. It helps to have a few clouds:)

Great location - long stretch of relatively shallow, clear, water. Friendly, happy, helpful staff. Good value - $60 for 3 hours felt like a fair price and a perfect amount of time. Highly recommend.

Had a great time on a sunset kayak trip last night. Si(mon) and his partner did a great job orienting the group, taking into account their experience levels. The trip went from Commons Beach to the Tahoe Tavern Pier, and then back again. Everyone enjoyed the trip and the stories.

Visited Commons Beach for my 35th birthday. The process to rent a paddle board was seamless and easy. The staff was friendly, welcoming and kind. They made sure I was ready and prepared for by mini adventure. Price feels worth the experience, but not sure if competitive for the area.

Just bought my second board from this shop. Always fair, friendly, helpful and competitive pricing. Great support when I needed a spare part. You can't go wrong dealing with them. Andrew and Connor were great.

We LOVE Tahoe City Kayak - can't say enough good things! We've been working with Andrew and his team to offer kayak trips for girls at our dance camps in Tahoe every summer since 2006. It's always a favorite activity of campers and staff. Thanks for all the amazing memories!!

My boyfriend and I went on the sunset kayak tour and had a great time. Our kayak tour was originally supposed to be on Wednesday but we were coming from the other side of the lake and got stuck in some bad construction and were going to be late. I called the office and they were nice enough to reschedule our tour to Friday. Our guides were Joshua and Jeffrey. They were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and its history. They took pictures for us on the lake and sent them to us afterwards. Overall, great experience and would recommend to others!

Rented a tandem kayak early in the morning. Website made it really easy, we were even able to sign the waiver online too. Went down to the beach and the guys were awesome, set us all up and pushed us out on the lake. We came back in for a bit and I ended up renting a paddle board later in the day, again through the website. Showed up and impressively enough one of the guys remembered my name. The entire process was really quick and easy and the staff was great. Will definitely be back if I don't buy my own SUP. Thanks guys!
