This Northern California Boat Ride Leads To The Most Stunning Fall Foliage You’ve Ever Seen

As a self-proclaimed leaf peeper, I absolutely love this time of year! Hues of goldenrod, amber, scarlet, ginger… that’s what we have to look forward to once we get into the fall season. All over the Northern California landscape the shrubbery, trees, and leaves will be changing from verdant green to a color explosion. And while hiking is a popular way to enjoy this special annual time, you might consider embarking upon this stunning fall foliage boat ride. Bring your camera and come with us to experience the best fall foliage in California.

Tahoe Cruises is a family-owned cruise company that has been offering spectacular voyages along Lake Tahoe since 1979.

The staff and crew here take great pride in showcasing beautiful Lake Tahoe, known by some as “the jewel of the Sierra Nevadas.” So a stunning fall foliage boat ride is definitely in order!

As the seasons begin to change, so does the foliage all around the lake.

The vistas truly are amazing. Lake Tahoe is so large, with a surface area of 191 square miles, that it almost seems like you’re looking across an ocean. In fact, it’s North America’s largest alpine lake.

Vibrant hues pop out all over the landscape.

Be sure to bring your camera, because you don’t want to miss a single thing along this stunning fall foliage boat ride.

Tahoe Cruises has two beautiful boats – the Safari Rose and The Spirit of Tahoe.

Whether you come on a solo fall foliage adventure, with a special someone, family, friends, or as part of a special celebration event, you’re sure to have a fantastic time.

Keep an eye out because sometimes fall and winter can appear at the same time!

All cruises run rain or shine to Emerald Bay and the South Shore of the lake.

If you think the day cruises are spectacular, wait until sunset!

The skies above the boat during the Sunset Champagne cruises seem to reflect the brilliant fall foliage hues around the water. Simply breathtaking!

Because fall foliage peaks at different times each year, if that’s what you really want to experience it’s advisable that you call Tahoe Cruises to get a "color update."
