Paddle your way to the historic Thunderbird Lodge and explore an undeveloped side of Lake Tahoe with Tahoe Adventure Company! Tour the grounds of the Whittell Estate and walk through a hidden tunnel leading to the infamous Card House and Boat House! Set your eyes on the Thunderbird Yacht, a one-of-a-kind wooden speedboat built back in 1939, famous for shepherding showroom headliners and casino high-rollers across the Lake.
The yacht’s millionaire owner built his estate out of the granite surrounds and contributed to the conservation of Lake Tahoe’s shoreline. He became a recluse later in life, rarely being seen, making him infamous and turning his home and his yacht into a piece of history.
TAC’s New Shuttle Service
Tahoe Adventure Company’s private shuttle now takes participants directly to Sand Harbor! That means hassle-free parking and more time on the beach before getting on the Lake. The easy to moderate tour covers 3 miles on the water and has a minimum age requirement of 10 years. Thunderbird Kayak Tours take place every Tuesday from June-Sept or by special arrangement. Snacks and a deli lunch on the beach will be provided and tickets cost $169 per person.
