Tour around the entire lake - It was totally awesome my girlfriend and I have never been in a helicopter 🚁 before and we had the most wonderful time. We flew around the lake (the 45 minutes flight) I would highly recommend it. Thanks Matt for giving us a great first flight experience.

Wow, what an amazing flight! - What an amazing flight experience! I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the most spectacular views of Lake Tahoe possible. The pilot Claudio Flashley was clearly an expert and knew the Lake Tahoe area extremely well. Do yourself a favor, use your gambling money to go for a flight with these guys instead, a once-in-a-lifetime experience providing memories forever.

Overall Great Experience! - This entire experience was great, from inquiring about it to booking it to the actual ride. The website was informative but I had a question about the best time of day, so I called and spoke to someone immediately who was knowledgeable. I booked online which was simple and fast. The instructions left nothing to question or be confused about, so arrival was seamless. The best part, obviously was the ride itself. It was smooth, safe, and overall amazing. Our pilot, Levi, was friendly and personable but not overbearing or overly talkative. He shared information about the area and knew some interesting tidbits which made the ride that much better. We did the 45 minute tour, which I recommend because it was so enjoyable even that seemed short. Oh and the cancellation policy is very reasonable, although we thankfully did not have to cancel.

Perfection! - Wonderful morning trip around the lake. The pilot provided a smooth ride and lots of narration. We felt very safe. Definitely recommend a morning trip as the wind seems to be an issue more towards the afternoon.

Wonderful opportunity to see Lake Tahoe from a new perspective - It was supposed to be an almost windless day. Oh No. We had wind before we left the airport. The pilot knew the weather patterns on Lake Tahoe and took me to sheltered coves and shoreline. I had a great experience flying the east/south shore. It was beautiful.
