Awesome Helicopter Flight
My daughter and I had never done anything like this before but are soooo glad we did. Matt was very clear in his instructions but didn’t make us feel nervous at all !!! Levi, our pilot, was great at pointing out landmarks and answered all my questions but didn’t talk so much that it took away from enjoying the flight. I would highly recommend anyone to take a Helicopter tour with these guys. It was an incredible experience we will always remember !!

AMAZING.
The owner and the pilot were both grest. They were very freindly, and concerned about our comfort and experience. We were early, and had a great conversation with the owner while we waited. The views were amazing, and water was Crystal clear. He was very knowledgeable about Lake Tahoe. Well worth it. Thanks, Ron and Verla.

Incredible helicopter trip
This flight was extraordinary. The helicopter was smooth and Marius is an excellent pilot. He also is a great tour guide as he told us all about everything we were flying over.Fun, professional and very personable. It is one of nature's treasures and seeing it from the air was awesome.
