Emerald Bay Cruise With Vikingsholm Castle Walking Tour Included
Description
This is not your typical Emerald Bay boat tour. Along with a scenic cruise aboard Lake Tahoe’s most intimate public tour, guests also get the rare chance to step off the boat and enjoy a walking tour of Vikingsholm Castle. That added on-shore experience makes the tour feel far more immersive than simply cruising by, giving guests the opportunity to explore one of Tahoe’s most iconic landmarks up close while taking in the beauty of Emerald Bay from both the water and the shoreline.

Itinerary
Our captain will guide you to see and learn all about Emerald Bay. Learn about Lake Tahoe, the bay, its history and about the famous Vikingsholm Castle.
Step off the boat and explore Vikingsholm Castle on foot as part of this one-of-a-kind Lake Tahoe experience. Set on the shore of Emerald Bay, Vikingsholm is one of Tahoe’s most iconic landmarks, known for its striking Scandinavian-inspired architecture and incredible lakeside setting. This walking tour gives guests the chance to get a closer look, take in the history and details of the estate, and experience Emerald Bay in a way most boat tours do not.

Very well timed and comfortable for older people. Pleasant ride on the boat, thoughtful crew. Stunning views of Emerald Bay! Bird watching on the way, even binoculars provided.

Classic wooden boat is great! Vikingsholm tour Is a bit underwhelming. Boat excursion could be longer, but.... And the boat trip eliminates a long steep hike to and from Vikingsholm.
Thanks for joining us on the cruise and tour. Have a great summer. - Ed, Cruise Tahoe/Alpenglow Boat Co.
