Itinerary

  • Emerald Bay State Park

    The Ultimate Half Day Tour departs at 7:00 am, and focuses on the best of Tahoe’s South and West Shore areas. Our journey begins at a beautiful secluded Tahoe beach, shadowed by spectacular Mt.Tallac. Across the river is an Eagle sanctuary, and you will be able to view and photograph different species of local birds, and possibly even a bear. As the mountains and lakes beckon, our adventures continues to back country lakes and spectacular waterfalls. Above the falls, another high country lake awaits our arrival. Climbing 2,000 feet above Tahoe to a high country ridgeline, gives you amazing views. Continuing to one of the most photographed locations in North America, Emerald Bay. Tahoe Photo Tours will take you to special locations to avoid the crowds.

    1 hour

  • Sugar Pine State Park

    Sugar Pine Point State Park contains one of the finest remaining natural areas on Lake Tahoe. With nearly two miles of lake frontage, the park has dense forests of pine, fir, aspen and juniper. Constructed in 1903, the property is one of the finest examples of a by-gone era of summer retreats found along the shores of Lake Tahoe. With crystal clear waters and up to 24 inch pine cones this is a must see location.

You DON'T want to MISS THIS!

Published on Oct, 2024

This tour is worth it's weight in GOLD! Not only did our Tour Guide take us to beautiful locations where we could take photos but he took several photos of us in different locations and emailed us full resolution photos. The guide shared with us history of the locations, the area and even helped me (a hobbyist nature photographer) learn how to use my camera to capture my bird subjects even better. This was certainly a HIGHLIGHT of our time in South Lake Tahoe!

Fall tour

Published on Oct, 2024

The tour was great! The highlight was a mom and baby bear running across the road in front of us and seeing the beautiful clear lake and fall foliage. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took us to many great spots to take pictures. I highly recommend this tour.

Awesome Experience

Published on Oct, 2024

Jim shared his knowledge of Lake Tahoe and took fabulous pictures! We had an awesome time! I highly recommend this tour!

Gorgeous scenery, wonderful trip!

Published on Oct, 2024

Jim was my tour guide for this excursion and he was a fantastic guide! There were 5 of us on the trip and I was the only one with a DSLR, and Jim was happy to help me with it as much or as little as I asked. He took us to some absolutely gorgeous places and also told us all about the history of the area. Lake Tahoe is stunning, but I was glad to have this trip to go some places that I would not have found on my own. I would tell anyone who is even a little interested in photography to take this trip.

Great experience

Published on Oct, 2024

Our tour guide Jim is a professional photographer, who knows the area around Lake Tahoe very well. He told me many tips and tricks about my camera, how to find photospots and about landscape compositions. We also enjoyed the stories about the formation of Lake Tahoe, the idigenious people, who lived here, where its name came from and discovery of the area.
