One of Lake Tahoe's most visited beaches, Sand Harbor, is known for its gorgeous sand beaches and multi-hued waters.

After reaching Sand Harbor, we climb up for a look at Marlette Lake, at 7,841 feet above sea level! 

Lakes and Waterfalls

Starting at South Tahoe Airport, this 30 minute tour first embarks to Emerald Bay, then south along the mountains over Cascade Lake, past Mount Tallac, and over the shoreline of Fallen Leaf lake. Head west over Glen Alpine Creek, with Glen Alpine Falls below, climbing towards Pyramid Peak, at an elevation of 9,984 feet! The area is scattered with myriad lakes and waterfalls. Fly over Lake Aloha and past Horsetail Falls, dropping nearly 500 feet. The tour concludes by flying over upper and lower Echo Lake before returning to the airport.

*Please note: While the lakes are always present, seasonal snow and rainfall, as well as time of year, affect the size of waterfalls in the area.

Circle the Lake

This 45 minute ride follows Lake Tahoe's pristine 72 mile shoreline, shimmering in shades of green and blue. While most of the shoreline is visible from the roads and highways circling the lake, nothing can compare to the view from a helicopter! Start by flying to Emerald Bay, then continue your journey around Lake Tahoe to witness the many stunning views Lake Tahoe has to offer.
