Overview

This helicopter tour in Lake Tahoe lasts about 10 to 12 minutes and includes a flight over Emerald Bay. The route passes over Fallen Leaf Lake, Cascade Lake, Taylor Creek, and Pope Beach before reaching Emerald Bay, which is known for its green waters and surrounded by granite cliffs with Eagle Falls feeding into it. The tour departs from Lake Tahoe Airport, where passengers park in the upper lot and check in at the terminal’s main lobby. After meeting the pilot and completing a safety briefing, passengers board the helicopter. Noise-reducing headsets and live commentary are included during the flight. Weight restrictions apply: no individual over 250 pounds can fly, the combined passenger weight must not exceed 500 pounds, and anyone 300 pounds or more is prohibited from flying. Groups at the 500-pound combined limit will have their weight checked on arrival. If a flight is canceled due to weight limits, the full price is charged. Gratuities are not included. Wheelchair assistance can be arranged if requested before the flight, with a full refund if accommodation is not possible. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
