5.00My 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 !!

The views were amazing, and water was Crystal clear. He was very knowledgeable about Lake Tahoe. Well worth it. Thanks, Ron and Verla.
