A place of sublime beauty that inspires awe even in the most jaded travellers, Lake Tahoe is a picturesque setting that dazzles viewers with its mesmerising expanse of shimmering blue waters. Its waters are a brilliant topaz colour with a crystal-clear quality derived from their pure source of melted snow supplied by small streams.
Sightseeing boat tours take 2 hours to cruise around the lake, offering a peaceful means of admiring the backdrop of snow-capped mountain peaks and pristine pine forests. On the shores of Emerald Bay is the Vikingsholm Castle, a magnificent replica of early Scandinavian architecture that history buffs will enjoy exploring. A tour of the Tallac Historic Site within its beautiful forest location offers a glimpse into the Roaring Twenties culture of Lake Tahoe. A holiday in Central California during the summer will have you partaking in the Art, Music & Theatre Festival at the Valhalla Estate. Around Kings Beach are many shops, street vendors and restaurants.
