Up, up and away! Take to the skies for a spectacular 20 minute flight over Lake Tahoe's South Shore. Look for the boats dotting the lake beneath you, the surrounding dense forests and the beautiful mountain peaks. Every passenger has a window seat, so you are guaranteed the best possible views. This is an absolute must while in Tahoe!
View scenic Lake Tahoe the way that it was meant to be seen...by helicopter! Take the South Shore Tour and see the beauty of Lake Tahoe from Zephyr Cove to the magnificent Emerald Bay.
The South Shore Tour departs the South Lake Tahoe airport and heads north to the lake. Upon reaching the shoreline, you will head straight to Zephyr Cove. After reaching Zephyr Cove, you will turn south and follow the shoreline towards Stateline and Edgewood Golf Course.
After passing the casinos, your flight will continue along the shoreline past Tahoe Keys and head towards Camp Richardson. Once past Camp Richardson, you'll enjoy a trip around Emerald Bay. Your flight will then bring you back to the airport at South Lake Tahoe.
Your helicopter will be a Robinson R44 Raven II. These are some of the safest and quietest helicopters in the industry.
Passenger count will be 3 and the pilot. Be assured that EVERY seat is a window seat!
All passenger weights MUST be advised at time of booking
This tour was awesome. We'd never been in a helicopter before, and our pilot prepared us well for each thing that would happen, in addition to pointing out Lake Tahoe's many beautiful spots with interesting background information. We would do this again in a heartbeat.

The views were amazing and the pilot was extremely friendly. They took good care of my parents who were flying like that in a helicopter for the first time. They had a wonderful time and they loved the experience. The views were amazing too and like any other person, I'd definitely like a bit more time. But, can't complain about the experience at all. Totally recommended.

No better way to view Lake Tahoe, Emerald Bay, the shores and even wildlife. Highly recommended!

Our tour was brief but magnificent. I rode in front with the pilot, Clint, who was relaxed and conversational. My husband sat in back of us snapping as many pictures as possible. The colors of the bay were even more spectacular than imagined.

Wonderful experience, Would recommend to all, I have been to Lake Tahoe twice before but never seen it from the sky. Pilot and ground staff were extremely helpful. Due to the nature of the weather around Tahoe our first scheduled flight was cancelled. On the day we arrived I do believe we were given a few extra minutes in the air to compensate.

Great service! The helicopter size is perfect. Anything bigger would not feel as personalized.

Our pilot was fun. We loved the flight and views. He was knowledgeable about the lake and Emerald Bay. Just wish we could have been up longer. It was a great flight and woukd go again.

the pilots were so nice. Seemed like they knew what they were doing. Changed the course of the flight so we could buzz our friends who were skiing. Great choice. The lady who booked the flight for us on the phone was exceptional! Thanks!!!

I can't do this justice in 300 words... needless to say, a helicopter tour over Lake Tahoe is spectacular. The scenery is implausibly enchanting - thoroughly majestic in fact. If you're in the area and at a loose end, I can't think of any finer way you could wish to spend your time. A truly wholesome and fulfilling experience!
