Rubicon ATV Tours
Where Tahoe’s Mountains Meet the Magic of the Lake
Get ready for the ultimate Lake Tahoe adventure—an adrenaline-fueled journey that blends high-speed lake travel with off-road exploration on the legendary Rubicon Trail.
Your tour begins at Zephyr Cove Resort, where you'll check in at the Tour Center. From there, we’ll launch your experience in true Tahoe style—with a 25–30-minute speedboat ride across the crystal-clear waters of Lake Tahoe.
After orientation, you'll take the handlebars of your ATV and set off on a 2-hour guided tour along the iconic Rubicon Springs Trail. This rugged, scenic route is packed with epic views, and Tahoe wilderness unlike anywhere else.

When the ride ends, you'll cruise across the lake once more by speedboat—a perfect ending to an unforgettable dual-terrain adventure.
