The 5 Best Helicopter Tours in South Lake Tahoe, California (CA)

October 26, 2021 Cedrick Jardin

South Lake Tahoe is the only destination in the country that combines two strikingly different worlds: The spectacular beauty of a national park, and all the desirable amenities of a world-class resort. Here you can enjoy a full range of exhilarating outdoor activities – from skiing and snowmobiling, snowshoeing, sleigh rides and sledding to hiking, biking, kayaking, boating, fishing, swimming, and golf - alongside the excitement of 24-hour nightclubs, fine dining, gaming and entertainment.

It was supposed to be an almost windless day. Oh No. We had wind before we left the airport. The pilot knew the weather patterns on Lake Tahoe and took me to sheltered coves and shoreline. I had a great experience flying the east/south shore. It was beautiful.
