Extremely memorable experience. Highly recommend to anyone visiting lake tahoe. The operators were great

Best part of our two day visit to Lake Tahoe! We’ll definitely be back.

Pamela_D, May 2022

Our helicopter ride was most memorable and exciting. Matt and Bryce were very professional and accommodating and showed us a phenomenal time. I told us very interesting facts about Lake Tahoe, showed us a home that was worth $100 million, most expensive house in America. Made us laugh tipped us sideways so we could get a better view of the little coves and waterfalls. Gave us probably 10 minutes longer than we paid for a trip and it was thrilling to say the least. When we went back to the office we bought sweatshirts to remember the event and they’re wonderful beautiful! I can’t say enough about this trip and Matt and Bryce we tipped them well 😎

Amazing Views!

Mary_d, Mar 2022

I’ve been to Lake Tahoe multiple times during different seasons, so I thought I’d seen all it had to offer. But this helicopter ride was absolutely breathtaking and I was amazed at the aerial views that I’ve been missing! I highly recommend to any visitors in the area! Our pilot Davis was also very kind and knowledgeable, overall great experience!
