    We were thrilled by the entire experience. Although we’ve been on helicopters before, this was extraordinary, a trip around Lake Tahoe from a thousand feet above the Lake. Saw many of our favorite hiking trails. Wonderful, knowledgeable pilot. Great staff. We may do the sunset tour next.

    This helicopter ride was our best one so far we have been on 5 other charter flights and this one tops them all! the view was amazing Tahoe lake is a beautiful lake. We will be back for a winter view!! And we had a chance to see the Blackhawk 160 night stalkers land and take off that was just the icing on the cake for us!!

    This helicopter tour was an absolutely incredible experience - one I will confidently recommend to all of my friends. We’ve done helicopter tours before, but this was the first one that gave us so many unforgettable positive emotions. Our kids flew with us too - a 4-year-old and a toddler - and honestly, we didn’t expect them to be so impressed. But now they talk every single day about flying over the lake and seeing the breathtaking views from above. The entire team was incredibly professional, friendly, and made us feel comfortable from start to finish. The tour itself was not only beautiful, but also interesting and informative. Highly recommend!

    The helicopter ride over Emerald Lake at Lake Tahoe was absolutely amazing. The views of the crystal-clear water and surrounding mountains were breathtaking from above. Our pilot was outstanding—very professional, smooth, and made the whole experience feel safe and enjoyable. He also shared great insights during the flight, which made it even more memorable. Highly recommend!

    First of all, the staff (both office and pilot) are courteous and friendly. The flight was smooth and the views of Lake Tahoe, other lakes, greeneries and surroundings were stunning. I really like the privacy of only my husband and I in the helicopter, it also gave us more window views. Totally worth the experience.
