Excellent Location!

Looked all over for clear kayaks for my group and came across Clearly Tahoe and I'm glad I did. Went with 3 x double clear kayaks for 2 hours and our experience was awesome! From start to finish, the trip was so much fun. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. We LOVED kayaking to bonsai rock, hanging out, and taking in the views of north Lake Tahoe. The convenience of the location, parking area was clean, restrooms nice made it all amazing. We were able to safely leave our shoes at the rental area and we had complimentary dry bags. Would recommend and come back next time!

The staff was top notch in my book!

The staff was top notch in my book! I took a kayak single and explored around the coves at Sand Harbor. It was amazing, not my first time and definitely not my last. Perfect day, thank you Clearly Tahoe Rentals.

Organized Service

My wife and I are both experienced kayakers but the staff at Clearly Tahoe Rentals made sure we knew what we were doing, where we were going, and ensured us there was plenty of time to get down to Hidden Beach and back. They had our boat ready to roll when we arrived and got us checked in and on the water quickly.

This place was amazing!!

This place was amazing!! We had a group of 5, and the staff here was so flexible and helpful. We rented clear kayaks and then the “party float” for a few hours. The staff members went above and beyond, we cannot recommend enough. Absolutely one of the highlights of our trip!

Easy Check-In

Knowledgeable and very helpful staff. Check in was quick and easy. Just a quick talk about water safety and we were good to go. Better to go early in day before wind kicks up because the wind makes it harder to kayak. I rented a 2 seater for me and my kid and we both had a great time.

Clear Bottom Kayak

Had a wonderful time here with 9 of my friends for a bachelor party. The staff were all extremely friendly, safety-oriented, and helpful with any questions we had. The kayaking experience was great and the clear bottom kayaks added a whole other dynamic to the already great experience. Would definitely recommend.

My experience was AMAZING

My experience was AMAZING, this was my first time on a kayak and I loved it. All rentals are affordable. I wanted the all clear kayak but you could only rent those with a reservation online, so I ended up getting a clear bottom kayak which was just as beautiful. But the all clear kayaks are definitely cool looking and an experience everyone should have!
