“This is really the only way to experience Lake Tahoe! Although you would literally need a week to see the entire coastline of this ginormous body of water, Captain J gave us a wonderful glimpse of why Lake Tahoe has has captivated generations of travelers— we visited Emerald Bay and its storied Vikingsholme and gazed at the towering mountains ringing the lake. Jason was a wonderful, informative captain!”

2.From Manly: Sydney Harbour Hands-On 2.5 Hour Yacht Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 30 reviews · 2h 30m · from $119Cheapest seat

Sail from Manly with an English-speaking skipper and a maximum of four people aboard. You can help set the sails, learn to steer, and cruise past the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, beaches, and waterfront homes. Guides such as Will and Gregan make the sailing basics easy to follow.

“As we had no prior sailing experience, our guide Will walked us through the basics of how sailing works. Gradually, we were able to take part in operating the boat ourselves, which was a lot of fun. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it to anyone with little or no sailing experience.”
