M.S. Dixie II Sets Halloween Costume Cruise
The Zephyr Cove outing includes a child ticket with each paid adult admission.
Families can celebrate Halloween on Lake Tahoe with a midday costume cruise aboard the M.S. Dixie II. The paddlewheeler leaves Zephyr Cove Resort at 12:00 PM on Saturday, October 31, 2026. The trip offers views of the lake and Sierra Nevada, giving visitors a daytime activity before evening trick-or-treating. Costumes are welcome for children and adults.
Admission costs $99 per adult, and every paying adult receives one complimentary child ticket. Extra child tickets cost $55 each. The cruise is designed for families and groups spending Halloween in the Tahoe area, with the outing taking place on the water rather than at a traditional land-based event. Shuttle transportation is available from selected Lake Tahoe locations, with an added transportation charge for groups of 20 or more. Guests can choose the shuttle while booking online, but reservations must be completed at least two hours before departure. On-site parking exists in limited quantities. The event listing also identifies Hampton Inn & Suites South Lake Tahoe.
- Departure is scheduled for 12:00 PM.
- Each additional child ticket costs $55.
- Shuttle reservations close two hours before the tour.
