Ride Snowmobile in Lake Tahoe

We did a 2 hour snowmobile tour with Zephyr on 3/22/23 and we had a great time. We brought our own snow gear, but if you don't have your own stuff they do rent snow pants, jackets, etc. We had our two kids with us, so we rented two machines and rode doubles. The machines were in excellent repair and were easy to operate, even for someone with no experience. Helmets were provided, and they were also in pretty good shape (padding was still fluffy and they didn't smell or anything). We did the Scenic Lakeview Tour, which wasn't fast or full of thrills, but it was beautiful and scenic. I figure that some groups may ride a little faster, depending on the makeup of the group and their experience level. Our tour guide was Joe, and he was friendly and funny and made us all have a good time.

The tour itself was great! We had a great guide, Veronica, who made sure we felt safe and comfortable on the snowmobiles. She took us to several great lookout spots and initiated photo opportunities for each group. The main complaint we have is the lack of communication and insight into plans ahead of time. We had a scheduled pick up time at our resort; they arrived 10-15 min late and when we called while waiting for the shuttle, the company told us the shuttle would not pick us up there at all (despite the online form stating the opposite). We did get picked up, but my friend and I had our purses with us (I needed some medicine, we needed tip money and our ID for some forms) and there was no clear communication on where to keep our belongings during the tour. We had to give our bags to the bus drivers who appeared stressed to have to watch over them. I just wish there was a safe storage place or some clarity that we should not bring personal items with us at all.

This was my first time snowmobiling. Coen was the best guide. He ensured our safety and made sure we had fun. The guides are easy going and fun. The backcountry tour was breathtaking through the alpine forest into the snow laden trees. The view of the lake and the surrounding mountains was priceless. We would 100% do this again.

We did an afternoon tour with Joe and it was fantastic!!! We organized other adults who wanted a child-free experience and the opportunity to go fast and our adventure did not disappoint 🤩 Joe was an exceptional guide from our “on the ground” training and throughout the trip making sure we had the best time possible and ensuring safety. We will be back!!! Thank you, Matt Turney & Diane

Great experience, shuttle service was on time +/- 5min; check-in to get your gear was organized and set up well (you can rent snow gear there too if you need to; helmet is included already in price).Shuttle ride out to location is about 20min, once there, guides and staff are great (tip your guide if they do a good job, as we did with our guy Lee...great guide). Trails are well groomed, riding is easy and you will go at pace of your slowest rider, we did us 3 and that was our group; great, great time.
