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!

So much fun! The lake is spectacular from that view! Would definitely do it again! Our pilot was very informative and super friendly, great with my four year old grandson.

Trip cancelled

Greg_B, Feb 2021

They called to cancel our trip a few hours prior to scheduled time, was told because of unscheduled maintenance. Disappointing.

Response from Host, Feb 2021

We apologize for the inconvenience. Unscheduled maintenance is very disappointing to us as well. When mechanical issues arise, we always place the safety of our passengers before profit and take the less desirable route of cancelling or rescheduling until mechanical issues can be resolved.

I love it

Nabila_M, Jan 2021

I love the experience was about 25 minutes but I really enjoyed it. Thanks to my pilot regards Nabila Martin
