TripAdvisor Traveler’s Choice Award Winner 2021, 2022 & 2023!

Lake Tahoe Snowshoeing is the perfect way to explore the mountains and valleys in winter. Snowshoes have studs on the base to grip on firm or icy trails, and are designed in such a way that you walk ‘normally’. Tahoe Snowshoeing allows you to get away from the crowds, and into a magical winter wonderland of silent forests, beautiful mountains and stunning views. On Tahoe snowshoe trips we share our local knowledge about the flora and fauna, local traditions, snow science and how to choose the best route for the conditions. You don’t need any previous experience to snowshoe, just warm clothes, reasonable fitness and a sense of adventure!

Great experience! We visited Tahoe in March and booked the Snowshoe tour on the last day. Dave was fantastic. He knew the routes and balanced our requirements vs capabilities. The end result was magical. Fantastic trip and would highly recommend.

This place is special! Had a great time snowshoeing and David was an excellent guide (along with his dogs!). This was well worth the drive from South Lake Tahoe to experience these views. We were blessed with beautiful blue skies as you can see from the photos. Plenty of time to take in the views and rest before getting to the next incredible view. David also provided information about the lake and the surrounding area. I went on a weekday and felt we had the area to ourselves. To experience this type of scenery only hearing the snow under you was truly special. Thanks David!

I wanted my family visiting from out of town to experience the beauty of Tahoe and this snowshoeing tour with Dave was just perfect. I’ve never gone snowshoeing before and Tahoe Snowshoe Tours was the one-stop-shop for rentals and scenic, safe trails. Our guide Dave ensured we truly got the most out of our experience. He was very attentive and took us at our own pace (my 65 year old mother had no problems whatsoever!). In addition to being a fantastic guide, Dave also took the best photos, capturing once in a lifetime moments of us interacting with the wildlife. Thank you Dave for giving us photos and memories that we will cherish for a lifetime!

We had a phenomenal experience on our tour this morning! I have been skeptical of snowshoeing in the past, but was so thankful I gave it a shot on our trip. It was truly an enjoyable tour, and we were able to see amazing scenery and wildlife. David was a top-notch guide who provided excellent customer service and was always happy to share his knowledge of the area. Highly recommended… especially for those who would like to try something different than skiing.

—

What an amazing morning. We never been snow shoeing before. We like to hike, not big on skiiing and snowboarded, but wanted something to do that was different in the now. I’m so glad we found this place. We had the pleasure of having David as our guide, but I’d rather say it felt more like hanging out with him for 3 glorious hours in the morning. He was amazing, and totally let us go our own pace since we weren’t use to the 9,000 feet elevation. And I would call him the bird whisperer. He kept putting bird seed in our hands to have the cutest birds fly up and eat it out of palms. What an experience. If you are a hiker, or just like the mountains go snow showing with David and his team. It’s amazing to find something so much fun in Tahoe that doesn’t involve skiing or snowboarding. We’ll be back.

We were looking for something different to do and made a last minute booking to go on a guided Snowshoe Tour. Our reservation was accepted and we were given great directions on where to meet our guide. David, our guide, was great. The weather wasn’t perfect and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but he had such an easy going style that we were buckled in and hiking in no time at all. We had barely walked into the forest before coming across some sweet little birds that would quickly fly in to land on your hand. The pace was very comfortable and we spent the next couple of hours walking through the woods and sharing stories. We would definitely recommend Tahoe Snowshoe Tours to all our guests that come to visit.

If you’re going to do one thing, schedule a snowshoe tour through this company! My boyfriend and I had never been snowshoeing and I was nervous beforehand. Dave called us the evening prior to be sure we were well prepared as it had snowed a lot the day before. The instruction we were given made it so easy to find the meeting location. Dave had all the gear we needed and made it a very easy experience. The route we took was beautiful and gave us the best views. Dave is experienced and knowledgeable which is what made our experience so great. He knows the area but took us up at our pace which I was thankful for! We were so pleased with our experience and I am sure anyone that goes snowshoeing with this company will have a great time! Dave also takes FABULOUS photos which we love! I was breathing too heavy to document much but he sent us all the photos he took which were awesome. So thankful for this trip and the memories! Thanks, Dave!

—

David was an amazing tour guide. He was thoughtful, attentive to the needs of the group, and worked hard to make sure our experience was magical. We fed wild birds out of the palm of our hands, we saw breathtaking views, and we all thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. I told our guide that my fiancé and I just got engaged and he took photos of us and made it a very special moment. I even have a photo of my ring while a bird is resting on my hand. Just magical. Highly recommend!

—

GREAT GUIDES GREAT WITH GROUPS! David and Jose made our first time snowshoeing experience unforgettable. They were knowledgeable, engaging, funny, flexible, patient, and responsive. The experience they tailored to our group’s unique needs was first class and professional. We had breath-taking views, fun facts, nature encounters, great photo ops, and team building activities. It was an unforgettable experience and we highly recommend it to anyone! Hope to do it again next year!

—

Tahoe Wedding Engagement Experience “Such an amazing experience! Dave was a great guide. He led us on an amazing adventure through a real life winter wonderland. Dave and my now FIANCE planned the most incredible proposal at the top scenic area of our hike. It was better than I could have imagined and he documented the entire thing! I would highly recommend Tahoe Snowshoe Tours and can’t wait to try out the other businesses Dave also offers.”

—

Great adventure! Wonderful views and an excellent alternative to skiing or snowboarding. David met us at the designated location, strapped us in our shoes, and started our trek; his two dogs Leo and Gus joined us and lead the trek. With brief stops along the way to get our lungs adjusted, David shared a number of facts and insights about the mountain and lake. One one of the stops, we fed some birds with seed from our hands–pretty cool. Upon reaching the ridge overlooking the lake, our efforts paid off with vistas like none other. From pictures taken to David’s focus on the customer experience and safety, to his commentary and a fun adventure, highly recommend this alternative in the outdoors.

—

Tahoe Marriage Engagement Proposal Experience Best experience and best guide we could’ve ever asked for. Thank you so much David for making this special day come full circle. Happy couple over here, you are the man!

—

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. David took us on our first ever snow shoe hike, we did the full moon hike and it was absolutely amazing!! I’m used to hiking on my own so I was nervous about having a guide, but I couldn’t have found a better one. David is exceptional, he was timely, friendly, has a great sense of humor, was very patient (especially with my 12 year old son and his friend) and he is very knowledgeable. He pointed out different constellations for us, oriented us with our gorgeous surroundings, took some really cool pictures, answered all our random questions and provided a bunch of fun facts and information about the area and everything in it. It really made for an exceptional experience. Of course the views and surroundings were absolutely stunning. The moon lights up the forest at night illuminating the snow and trees all round you. We could see the entire lake surrounded by millions of stars. It was very serene and a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend!! Thank you so much David!

—

A Fun Family Time! Our two young adult children were visiting us in the Bay Area during their college spring break. We chose to take a 4-day weekend to North Lake Tahoe and wanted to do something other than skiing, tubing, or sledding. Since none of us has tried snowshoeing, this seemed like a great idea. The tour was booked! It snowed a lot before we arrived and the weather report predicted snow on our tour day. Dave met us at the starting point of the tour and provided snowshoes for everyone (we gave him our shoe sizes when registering online.) He shared important safety tips and we were on our way. During the entire tour, Dave was very interactive and engaging. I was concerned about my asthma and he was especially attentive to my need for frequent breaks and check-ins. Overall this is a fabulous tour with incredible scenery! This tour turned out to be the highlight of our 4-day weekend! Thanks Tahoe Snowshoe Tours!

—

Incredible service! Everything was provided for us! Dave is an exceptional guide, fun and funny and a wealth of knowledge. He knows how to pace a group and keep everyone safe and entertained. I would highly, highly recommend this company and these tours for anyone! The beauty is exquisite! The adventure was better than my friend and I even thought it to be and one couple in our group got engaged at a scenic overlook. We say definitely go on one of these tours!

—

Tahoe Snowshoe Tours and David provided us with a memorable experience. Registration was a breeze. Website was informative. We were celebrating a birthday and it was our first time snowshoeing. David is awesome! He is fun, friendly, and patient with us. He took his time, providing us with an enjoyable visit. We even got to meet his lovely dogs, Gus and Leo. David took great pictures for our album! Overall, exceptional customer service and experience from David and Tahoe Snowshoe Tours! Thank you!

—

Great communication with the whole transaction! Our guide was on time, professional, super friendly and bey knowledgeable. He made us feel comfortable and took his time when we were getting tired. All of the other tours are at lake level, this is the one u want for spectacular views of the lake. Relatively easy to moderate hike depending on ur conditioning. Only 2.5 miles round trip. Would use again and would recommend to any one!

—

Exhilarating walk in the snow with stunning lake and mountain views. While the family were off skiing, I joined a small group led by Dave hiking up snow covered trails with stunning lake and mountain views. Dave was an excellent guide and knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna. We were lucky with clear sunny weather. It was magical walking through the still peaceful forests. The arrangements for the trip were made on line and the information clearly described the kind of terrain we would be walking in and the appropriate clothes to wear. Dave provided the snowshoes. This was my first experience of using these and I had no discomfort or problem with them even on the steep parts. I have some great photos taken by Dave.

—

We absolutely loved our snow shoe hike with David! The trail was gorgeous and the hike was the perfect length of time for our family of 8 who were as young as 10. The weather was beautiful and the vistas of the lake incredible. Little birds even landed on our hands and are birdseed! David was an excellent guide. Patient with the group and went at the pace we desired. He set up fun moments for ya throughout the hike, took awesome photos and taught us about the local area. Kids got to run and play in many feet of powder! Highly recommend if you are visiting Tahoe!

—

Amazing tour. This is a must for people visiting Tahoe. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience! Highly recommend. David was great!

—

This was our family’s first snowshoe experience and it was amazing. Our guide, David, was knowledgeable about all of Tahoe, accommodating and understanding of our different levels of fitness, kind and truly enjoyable to lead us on this adventure. As a family who are nature and animal lovers, David’s tour allowing us the ability to feed wild birds right from our hands was magical. The views were indescribable and this is an experience that our family won’t forget….especially since David took absolutely stunning photos during our entire adventure. I highly recommend this adventure and I can’t wait to go back and do it again.

—

Amazing hike with Wildlife! Our family actually did this tour last December, but I kept on my “todo” list to write this review because the experience was wonderful! JT took us on a beautiful hike through gorgeous trees up to a majestic view. The highlight for our family was feeding the birds! JT poured seeds into our hands and got the birds to come and eat right out of our palms. My teenagers loved it so much, they often bring up “the birds!” Next time we our in Tahoe, we will do another tour with Tahoe Snowshoe Tours.

—

Awesome Snowshoe Adventure – Aileen and Audrey This is a winter activity you would not want to miss out. It’s meant for the whole family to enjoy, We highly recommend to sign up with Tahoe Snowshoe Tours. Dave, our guide is awesome. He is kind, very knowledgeable and accommodating towards our needs. His service is the best. You could not ask for a better guide. The hike through the snow covered enchanted forest coupled with the gorgeous lake view is stunning. We were so lucky to experience a Bluebird day. To top it all off, feeding wild birds around the area was epic. We will definitely come back and do this activity again with Dave.

—

These guys are AWESOME! Thoughtful, fun, experienced, knowledgeable, great with groups, flexible, patient, and responsive – David and Jose gave our group the best first time snowshoeing adventure we could have hoped to have – it was full of breath-taking views, fun facts, nature encounters, and more than I can put in this review. I highly recommend them to anyone and hope to go again!

—

Snowshoe Adventure Wonderful snowshoeing adventure with Dave. We were blessed to have beautiful weather on our 2 hour hike. You won’t regret it.

—

We were thoroughly pleased with the tour and highly recommend this to anyone traveling or in the local area. David is amazing. He took his time and allowed us to embrace the scenery and feed the birds. I loved that he brought his dogs along to add the family touch. I love pictures and was happy to find out that David takes all the pictures for you so you can just enjoy your time on the tour. We received our photos within a few hours of completing the hike.

—

What an Adventure! We easily signed up online, David gave us exact directions where to meet and then provided the best snowshoe hike ever! The trail was challenging, but so much fun! David even took photos, then sent us a link to follow to get our beautiful photos. The views were extraordinary! Do not miss this fun event, you will not regret it! Thank you, David!

—

Spectacular views. We were fortunate to be there 2 days after a deep snowfall, making the whole adventure magical. Dave, his dogs and the birds he knows how to attract all added to the experience.

—

One of a Kind Experience David was great. Communicated well. Greeted right away and off we went. The scenery was spectacular and he accommodated the pace of the group. Felt comfortable being in the middle of nowhere and looking at stars that seemed so close you could grab them. Just incredible.

—

This was the first time my friend and I ever did snowshoeing. David was a great tour guide! He kept us at a steady hiking pace that kept us from feeling exhausted. He also captured great footage of us throughout the trail. Would highly recommend to check out his snowshoe tour.

—

Incredible Snowshoe Adventure Dave and his team are fantastic! The guest service we received before, during and after our snowshoe trek was excellent. Dave is a wonderful guide. He knows how to pace the group and does it in a natural way. He brings special touches to the tour and knows the area like the back of his hand. He made the trek fun and enjoyable. My friend and I would highly, highly recommend any of the Tahoe Snowshoe Tours adventures!

—

Snowshoe hike was EPIC. JT was amazing – we had a fantastic hike thru the woods and up the mountain. He catered to our wants and adjusted the trip to make sure everyone had a blast. If may have gone for a walk in the woods before….but never like this. Truly a great experience.

—

Awesome Snowshoe Hike! Dave hit it out of the ballpark for our inaugural snow shoe experience. It didn’t hurt that we had a gorgeous day with little wind, but having him as a guide made all the difference. He went at our pace, took awesome pics and emailed them all to us afterwards, and showed us a beautiful part of Tahoe that we’d never have seen without him. His adorable dogs trotted alongside. Super fun! Worth every penny!

—

This was our very best snow adventure David is a skilled; patient; helpful; and knowledgeable guide. He selected a course that provided us with fantastic views and still met our skill and conditioning levels well. We were lucky to have abundant amounts of fresh snow; bright sunshine; and no wind, but David’s skill and knowledge took full advantage of the conditions and made it a perfect day! Thanks David!

—

David was an excellent tour guide! This was my first time snowshoeing and David made the experience incredible! Not only was he extremely patient with me, he was timely, welcoming, fully equipped, very knowledgeable, and his fun sense of humor was the perfect touch! Dave also gave us time to appreciate the breath-taking views, captured some cool moments with his high resolution camera, and shared really interesting fun facts! I highly recommend snowshoeing with David!

—

Thank you so much @tahoesnowshoetours ! sarahkb86 We had an amazing time and the pictures turned out beautiful. JT was a great guide @jodawson22 @cfin_rn

—

Highlight of our trip to Tahoe. The snowshoe tour we took with Tahoe Snowshoe Tours was definitely the highlight of our first trip to Lake Tahoe! Our guide David was a true professional at making sure we had an enjoyable time. Being flatlanders from Texas, he stayed within our physical abilities, stopping periodically to share a story or two without making us feel inferior for sucking air haha! Not that we were doing very risky, it was nice to know of David’s extensive back county and avalanche training. We will absolutely use Tahoe Snowshoe Tours again when we return! Thanks again for an awesome morning David!

—
David was an awesome guide for a wonderful morning of snowshoeing. He had great communication throughout our whole experience – from booking on-line to checking in with us closer to our tour and afterwards. Very professional and very knowledgeable about the Lake Tahoe area. David provided snowshoes and birdseed for the price of the tour. The snowshoeing is strenuous but most of our athletic family could keep up. It is not a flat tour, you are walking up into the woods that opens up to a fabulous view of the lake – just gorgeous and worth the price! Birds came up and ate right out of our hands (!) and David took amazing photos of our family that he sent promptly after the tour to us. Amy came along on our tour as well and was equally as professional and enjoyable. It was a great diversion from a week of skiing and our whole family loved it. Highly recommend! David is so genuine and personable!

—

Fantastic snowshoe hike today! David took us through gorgeous scenery and he was extraordinarily patient with the less athletic member of our group (that would be me). For my three friends, he took them further up the pass to a gorgeous view above the tree line. Snow shoeing is super fun. Would absolutely hire David again! Highly recommend.

—

JT was an awesome guide…we had a great time!

—

Best views in Tahoe, book this tour! This tour was the best decision of our trip! The hike is short, easy, and the views are out of this world. It was so nice to get into the woods and away from crowds. You start your hike waking through the tall trees in the super deep snow. Then, after a short uphill climb, you are looking out over beautiful Lake Tahoe, and the views get better with every turn. This was the best way to spend a morning in Tahoe, we highly recommend Tahoe Snowshoe Tours!

—

Totally unique and incredible experience.

—

Great Snowshoe Activity! It was a wonderful Christmas activity for my family with Tahoe Snowshoe Tours. The guide met us at our hotel lobby on time and guided us all the way to the top of the mountain equipped with ladder, snow shoes, birdseed and hand warmers. We are recommending using Tahoe Snowshoe Tours to family and friends. He took pictures of us as we snowshoe and even play a game for the whole family. He was efficient in communication thru texts and emails as we have to reschedule because of the weather. Overall a great experience!

—

This snowshoe tour deserved more than 5 stars if possible. David was a great guide who took us on an amazing trail with breathtaking views. He made sure the pace was comfortable for his guests and gave us the option of how physically intense we wanted the hike to be. In addition, David was also a great photographer who takes beautiful pictures, some candid ones, without being asked to! We definitely enjoyed our tour and will not hesitate to see what else his company has to offer our next time back!

—

Experience of a lifetime Amazing! If there is just one word to express this experience. Our guide, JT was truly exceptional. We have been to Tahoe many times but never before experience such a breathtaking view of Lake Tahoe from more than 9000ft above sea level…. Snow pack was great, but could be better. Nevertheless, I would surely recommend this snowshoe hike to anyone… Kids? no problem at all. They will have a blast!

—

My wife and I had the best time! There was no rush, we got to take in the beautiful scenery. Watching the sunset over Tahoe lake was an amazing sight. Watching the Super Moon at 9,000′ was mind blowing!!!

—

So much fun snowshoeing in Tahoe! My girlfriends and I had a great time snowshoeing with our guide, David. He took us to some wonderful views, gave us birdseed to feed chickadees, and took the best photos of us! It was definitely the highlight of our trip! Would do it again!

—

Fantastic Day Snowshoeing We had such an amazing time with David of Tahoe Snowshoe Tours this past weekend. It was a great hike with just the right amount of exercise and sightseeing. Can’t wait to go back next time were in the area.

—

Thank you so much for these (pictures)!! Great photos and a great tour, David! We really enjoyed it and had fun spending time with you & Amy. Thank you!

—

This day was by far one of the very best. If you want a memory that will last a lifetime, take a tour. Dan and David were amazing. There was no stress the entire trip. Thank you for the memory and I’ve found my guide for so much more!!! Just the VERY BEST DAY!!

—

Highly recommend! David is a knowledgeable, professional guide who offers up a day of fun, exercise and a great view of Lake Tahoe. It is a great way to spend a day off of the slopes but still out in the sun and snow.

—

Great Snowshoe Experience We were a group of 10 including three kids. The tour was really easy for everyone. The tour guy was excellent and always aware of the group needs. The view is great.

—

Fabulous Snowshoe experience! We had such a great time snowshoeing with Tahoe Snow Shoe Tours! He took us to some GREAT spots; the views were incredible. He was knowledgeable, considerate of our pace, and took some amazing photos of us (seriously, check out his photos)! I highly recommend!

—

Beautiful Scenery! I’m usually a summertime Tahoe vacation person but let me tell you the Snowshoe Tour was absolutely incredible! With the beautiful scenery in the background and little birds landing on my hand….it was Heaven on Earth!

—

Incredible high alpine scenery. The guide and his “assistant’ guide dogs were so friendly.

—

Great time!!

—

David was a fantastic guide He took time to let us rest when we needed it, and he adjusted the tour to our abilities and based on the weather conditions. He took us to some very picturesque places (including the ridge overlooking the lake), and gave us the experience we were hoping for!

—

Challenging snowshoe tour, but worth it for the view! David was a fantastic guide. He told us exactly where to meet him and was there early, prepared with all the appropriate gear. He started taking us his normal route up to the ridge so we could see the lake, but as the area had just had a tremendous snowfall, the snow was very deep and soft. This made it difficult to trek through, but David was great about taking breaks as needed. He told us several stories about his adventures through the years which helped to keep our minds off the work. He also took us to a spot where we got to feed Chickadees. That was a neat experience. He located another, more packed-down trail that had been created by skiiers so we made our way over to that trial and up the hill to the ridge. It was more of a steep incline than his typical route which made it challenging. But the wait was worth it! At the top of the ridge was a stunning view of Lake Tahoe, which is exactly what I was hoping for! David made sure to take lots of pictures along the way and emailed them to us within 24 hours, which was awesome! I would definitely recommend Tahoe Snowshoe Tours and David as a guide.

—

This was a perfect trek through the snow. The location is stunning. The view of Lake Tahoe are unbelievable. Dave was an excellent tour guide (along with Gus and Leo). I would highly recommend.

—

We just finish the tour on 12/24. It was an awesome trip, though we encountered the snow storm. David, our guide, is so nice and patient to us, and he is full experience with the tour in the blizzards. We really appreciate he allow us to bring our dog with us to the tour, it was so much fun. Very recommend!

—

My parents and I went on an excellent trip last week with David. He was a very knowledgeable and personable guide, and he captured some amazing photos of our excursion. I highly recommend!

—

Snowshoeing was such a great experience with beautiful views and a guide that understands the needs for everyone’s ability! Definitely a must do!

—

This was my first time snowshoeing! Im so happy Dave was patient with me. A sense of humor made the experience even that much better! Gorgeous views, hungry birds, and excellent exercise! I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to see nature at its finest and do something healthy for yourself. Thank you, Dave!

—

David was an excellent guide! Gave us the full experience of snowshoeing, creating our own paths and took us as high as we wanted for some spectacular views. We learned a lot about the maintenance of the mountain as long as the friendly wildlife along the way. I highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for some breathtaking views and an excellent workout!

—

It was a quick trip but a lot of fun. Both first time snowshoeing and letting little birds feed from our hands. Such amazing views of Lake Tahoe! #northlaketahoe #laketahoe #tahoesnowshoetours @tahoesnowshoetours
