If you've never flown in a helicopter but always wanted to, the Emerald Bay tour with Tahoe Helicopter Tours is a great way to start. It's a short 10-15 minute flight, but it's inexpensive and a lot of fun. My friend's two kids went first because we had four people and had to split up into two flights. I had never seen them smile so much. Then it was our turn and it was a lot of fun for us too. Special shout out to our pilot Jacobi and co-pilot Josh. They honestly had as much fun as we did. They did a great job of flying and letting us know info about the lake. I highly recommend this attraction if you're going to spend some time in the area.

We did the Emerald Bay tour and although it’s short, it’s completely worth it and the views are incredible! The pilots were so nice and made the whole experience really enjoyable. I highly recommend!
