Ride Tahoe’s forested backcountry to a hidden alpine lake on a guided ATV adventure with a scenic shuttle and beginner-friendly practice.

About this tour

Trade the lakeshore for Tahoe’s rugged backcountry on a guided Lake Tahoe ATV tour to a hidden alpine lake. After a scenic shuttle ride to the trailhead, get comfortable with a safety briefing and guided practice session before following forest trails into the mountains.

Ride through pine-scented terrain and open mountain scenery, with a guide leading the way. At the alpine lake, take time to relax by the water, capture photos, or cool off with a swim in warmer months. You can bring snacks or lunch to enjoy during the stop, then climb back aboard for the ride through the Tahoe wilderness. The experience is designed to welcome beginners, and no driver’s license is required, though drivers must be at least 18.

With an ATV, helmet, shuttle transportation, and trail access included, this Lake Tahoe ATV tour makes it easy to focus on the ride and the scenery. Book your backcountry adventure and discover a quieter side of the lake.

How the score works and rating distribution in Lake Tahoe
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.5. Top 31% in Lake Tahoe means it ranks in the top 31% of tours in Lake Tahoe by this score.
