Departing from South Lake Tahoe, your experienced pilot will fly your group (pending combined weight restrictions) to your choice of the following destinations:
Emerald Bay (10-Minute) - This approximately 10-minute flight will take you to Lake Tahoe's only true bay. Named for its shimmering emerald green waters, this is not a destination to be missed! Along the way you will also see Fallen Leaf Lake, Cascade Lake, Taylor Cree, and Pope Beach.
Zephyr Cove (20-Minute) - This approximately 20-minute flight showcases the entire south shore of Lake Tahoe. You will start by heading east and into Nevada to witness the gorgeous blue and teal waters of Zephyr Cove. After circling the cove, you will then head back west past Fallen Leaf Lake and Cascade Lake to Emerald Bay.
Sand Harbor (30-Minute) - This approximately 30-minute flight will take you to see one of Tahoe's most popular beaches from above! Your bird's eye view will help you to appreciate the beach's sandy shore and multi-hued waters. On the way, you will fly over many of the east shore's hidden beaches (and local favorites) like Secret Harbor, Skunk Harbor, Chimney Beach and more. Before heading back, your expert pilot will take you higher up so that you can catch a glimpse of Marlette Lake, nestled at 7,841 feet above sea level!
