My fear of flying melted away as we lifted off the ground. Claudio was funny and a great pilot. We did the 15 min flight and dinner at the Flight Deck, which was a casual environment with very good food. This is our favorite tour by far in Tahoe. Next time we'll do the 30 min flight! More

I had never been in a helicopter before and this was WAY better than I even dreamed. They took the doors off so I could take pictures. Chris was a great pilot, I never felt nervous at all and I got about 300 amazing pictures. Great tour!!! Would do it again tomorrow :o) More

Two of us went up in the helicopter for the "Waterfall Tour". It was a half hour tour that took us over the lake, bays, and to the mountains where we got to see rivers and waterfalls we would have never been able to see from the ground. Wonderful!! More

At the last minute because of lack of cell phone service in our area, I went down to talk to Chris at the South Lake Tahoe Airport who facilitated a time frame for a helicopter ride for my wife and myself on our 36th anniversary. After talking with him, we came back 45 minutes later and had a custom tour... More

While in Tahoe I bought my nephews a helicopter ride over Emerald Bay. Neither boy had ever been on a a helicopter ride and the experience was a rush for them. Those of us on the ground were treated like VIP's. We were allowed on the taramac to take pictures before take off then led to comfortable seats on the... More

This is a must do trip! Seeing Lake Tahoe from a helicopter is absolutely amazing! It is one of the best parts of our trip to Tahoe. The people at the airport office were very kind and helpful and the equipment looked very new and well maintained. We were given life vests to put on and an emergency orientation, much... More

My wife and I had the best present we have ever received from our boys. I cannot say how thrilled I was to go back up flying again, and see the views of beautiful Tahoe area. It is a vantage point one can never appreciate from the ground level. The operations at HeliTahoe was very smooth and professional. Absolutely no... More

I am 46 years old and this was my first flight on a helicopter. If you have any fears of flying on one, you can put them asside. This flight was smoother than my airplane flight here. Claudio, the pilot is great! Great personality and great tour guide!! The views of Tahoe on this flight are incredible and can be... More

My husband and I are from the UK and booked the Emerald Bay Helicopter Tour, whilst on holiday in California in September 2010. Neither of us had been in a helicopter before, but were very excited at the prospect. Wow what an experience, we were not disappointed, it was fantastic. Chris, our pilot, was a lovely guy, very professional, friendly... More
