Drift Beyond The Ordinary
There’s a moment; somewhere between the shore and the horizon, where the world slows down and everything feels a little lighter.
At Wild Society, we live for that feeling.
Our clear kayak rentals, guided tours, and transparent paddleboard rentals are built for the wanderers, the explorers, and the beauty-chasers who know Tahoe’s magic isn’t just on the shoreline — it’s under your paddle, sparkling below, and waiting to be explored.
Born out of a love for Lake Tahoe’s clearest waters, Wild Society invites you to float into your next favorite memory — where the sun is always a little warmer, and the view is always worth it.
With Love,
The Wild Society
Discover Wild Society: Clear Kayak Adventures in Lake Tahoe
Wild Society was created from a deep love for Lake Tahoe, a passion for sustainable adventure, and a desire to help people reconnect with nature. Our clear kayak and paddleboard rentals offer a unique way to experience the lake; quiet, breathtaking, and unforgettable. We’re a small, women-owned business that believes in thoughtful hospitality, big-hearted adventures, and protecting the place we call home.
How It Started
Our Founder
Wild Society was built from a love that runs deep — for Lake Tahoe, for wide open skies, and for adventures that feel a little magical.
Founder Kaylee Howell grew up in the heart of North Lake Tahoe, raised among pine trees, mountain peaks, and endless blue waters. From an early age, the outdoors wasn’t just a place to visit — it was home.
A lifelong adventurer and water lover, Kaylee always knew she wanted to create something special — something that captured the feeling of drifting across Tahoe’s crystal-clear waters and sharing that joy with others.
With a vision to offer more than just the “usual” kayaking experience, she set out to create Wild Society from the ground up — from designing the logo and building the website to crafting every detail that would make this place feel different, personal, and unforgettable.
Her dream?
Simple: To invite you into the beauty she grew up with, and to help you experience Lake Tahoe the way she sees it — wild, clear, and full of wonder.
Every paddle, every smile, every memory made on the water is a piece of that dream coming true.
How It's Going...
If you've been looking for Wild Society this summer, you're not alone. We've received countless messages asking what happened, where we went and whether we'll be coming back.
The truth is, this isn't where we expected to be.
For the last decade, Wild Society called Kings Beach home. What started as a handful of clear kayaks grew into something far bigger that I ever imagined. Together, we explored hidden coves, watched sunrises over glassy water, celebrated birthdays, proposals, anniversaries, family vacations, and countless bucket-list adventures. Many of you returned year after year. Some of you became friends. Some of you brought your children back years later to experience the same lake they fell in love with the first time.
What we built was never just a rental business. It was a community.
Unfortunately, after nearly ten years in the same location, Wild Society lost its home. Another operator approached the property and offered significantly more for the space than a small, locally owned business could realistically compete with. The result was a sudden and unexpected end to the place we had called home for almost a decade.
To be honest, it has been heartbreaking.
There have been moments of frustration, disappointment and uncertainty. This business has been my life for many years, and watching something you poured your heart into get uprooted is not easy. But while we've lost a location; we haven't lost what made Wild Society special in the first place. The spirit of Wild Society was never the building. It was the people. It was every family who trusted us with part of their vacation. Every couple who paddled into a quiet cove. Every early morning launch. Every returning guest who stopped by just to say hello.
Right now, Wild Society is paused while we determine what comes next.
I wish I could tell you exactly what that looks like, but the truth is, I don't know yet. What I do know is that the support, encouragement, kind messages and offers of help I've received over the past several weeks have meant more than I can adequately express. They have reminded me that what we built mattered. Whether Wild Society eventually finds a new home in Tahoe, reimagines itself somewhere else, or evolves into something entirely different, I am incredibly grateful for every person who has been part of this journey.
Thank you for supporting a small business.
Thank you for believing in what we created.
And thank you for reminding me that even when a chapter ends unexpectedly, the story itself isn't necessarily over.
Forever grateful,
Kaylee
The People Behind What You See
So much of Wild Society has been shaped by the people who've experienced it and chosen to share it.
These are the people who chose us when we had only just begun. They've come back, brought others with them and helped build this in ways we couldn't have done alone. It means more than we can really put into words. We owe them a lot.
The Collective
Kaylee Howell and Brittnee Bramy, the dynamic duo behind Wild & Tipsy Collective, have shared a deep bond for over 25 years. Their friendship blossomed in the charming Incline Village, NV, overlooking the stunning Lake Tahoe. United by a strong connection, they set out on a mission to bring magic and liveliness to a community seeking more. With ambitious goals, Brittnee and Kaylee evolved into influential female entrepreneurs, each carving their own path in the business world, shaping their futures, and lighting the way to a more vibrant tomorrow. Drawing inspiration from their varied experiences and daring escapades, they envisioned a place where culinary delights merge with wellness, creating a haven that transcends the ordinary.
