Over four hours you’ll be briefed, fitted with a life vest, handed a paddle and launched directly from Kings Beach onto Lake Tahoe in a sit‑on‑top kayak or paddleboard. The equipment’s stability and on‑site instruction mean the session is focused on time on the water rather than gear logistics—an uncomplicated, hands‑on introduction for newcomers and a relaxed rental for returning paddlers.
