Overview

This tour takes you to Emerald Cave, a popular location. The lake is known for its emerald green color, which comes from its algae-rich waters. While Emerald Cave is frequently featured on social media and can have long lines, it only accommodates 8-10 people at a time. However, you can see the same beautiful emerald waters at various other spots around the lake. We encourage you to explore and appreciate the entire area and its stunning beauty. Our tour guides are certified in Wilderness First Aid, CPR, and ACA II, ensuring your safety. We also use top-quality Wilderness Systems kayaks for your protection. We focus on providing a tranquil and enjoyable experience. Quality and personalized service are our priorities.

  • Single or Tandem (2 person) Kayak
  • Waterproof Phone Case and Optional Clean Sun Hat
