Protecting Nature, Preserving Adventure

At Zephyr Cove Resort & Lake Tahoe Cruises, we define sustainability as, "The ability to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Nestled on Lake Tahoe's pristine shores, we're dedicated to protecting this rare environment where we live, work, and play. Sustainability is a journey, not a destination, and we're committed to evolving our practices to preserve this natural treasure for generations to come.
