Reno Tahoe Helicopters

Most amazing experience ever. I was a little hesitant to book because I am terrified of heights but my boyfriend is extremely into flying. I booked a flight for our anniversary and can definitely say it made it so memorable for us.
Clint was our pilot and he was so funny and knowledgable. I go to Tahoe multiple times a year for many years, but he was able to show me things that I didn’t even know existed!
5 stars for Reno helicopter and 5 stars to Clint! I for sure will be back, maybe next time to see it in the summer.
Oh and ladies, Clint is single so make sure to bring your friends ;)

First time to ever go up in the sky, (never been on a plane) It was pretty amazing, great view of the whole lake, definitely something worth doing, R44 was very smooth almost forgot we were in the sky. Our Pilot Clint made it a fun experience.

Came here for my birthday. Best idea! I had an amazing time. I definitely recommend this. Our pilot was Clint. He made the experiment even more fun. Very informative of the terrain and cracked some funny jokes. Very accommodating staff back in the office as well.

Please, please, please do yourself the favor of booking a flight with Reno Tahoe Helicopters. As you might expect, the views are amazing. But then there’s Clint and Claudio. The most fantastic duo you’ll ever meet. They are top notch pilots/​human beings. Go for the longest tour you can afford, because other than carne asada burritos, a flight with Reno Tahoe Helicopters is the best thing money can buy.

We highly recommend the tour around the lake. The pilot Clint was extremely personable and knowledgable. We had a fabulous time learning about the shores of Lake Tahoe! We will soon be back for the winter ski season tours!

If you haven’t been you gotta get on it !! It was great, our pilots name was Clint and might I just say he’s pretty awesome ! Super chill, energetic & fun person. Definitely made the experience one to remember. Very knowledgeable about the surrounding area. A++++

A must for anyone or couple staying in Tahoe. We took the hour tour which would be my suggestion. Any shorter would have you disappointed and begging for more because it’s such a thrill. Clint, was our pilot. He was very informative and made you feel super comfortable. We did the sunset tour which was so beautiful. This is one of the few things you can do to see all the beauty of Tahoe in one trip!

This has to be the most amazing experience to have. I was blown away by the incredible view of Lake Tahoe. I went on the 30 minute ride with my boyfriend and we got to fly over Emerald Bay, water falls, and the most stunning view of the lake. I had been in a helicopter before and our pilot was very steady, Most importantly I felt SAFE. The pilot (I can’t remember his name :/​) was well informed of the surroundings and had a good sense of humor. I’m so happy I went on this flight, I have friends coming out in June and we have a flight booked for all 5 of us. We are going to do the sunset flight it was a fair price for the amount of time up. If you are debating the flight go, you will be so happy with the experience.

Go! Gorgeous views and I totally forgot my fear of flying. 15 min flight with dinner was awesome. We’ll do the 30 min next time!

AMAZING!
A must if you want to make your Tahoe visit unforgettable.
The view of Emerald Bay was breathtaking…
Highly Recommended!!!

Awesome experience!!! We were a little nervous at first but our pilot was great!!! The views were amazing! Definitely recommend this company!!! :)

So I finally went on the helicopter ride and let me tell you– It was AMAZING! The owner Claudio was great, and I am glad we finally got it worked out and was contacted to take a flight!
Claudio had so much personality and kept the flight entertaining as well as very informative as to what we were flying over.
I guess when i first emailed him they were going through some ownership changes, but Claudio is back, and I am glad.
Can’t wait to take another flight!

My husband and I had an awesome helicopter ride. Our pilot was great. The ride was smooth and the view was breathtaking!
Super nice people. We will be back!
Thanks Claudio and Dave. What a great way to complete our vacation.

It was fun! Dave was our pilot and he was polite, friendly and professional. However, where we booked it they charged us about $ 200 for 2 people for 15 minutes. Seemed kinda steep. Otherwise loved it!

Amazing! Boyfriend and I did the flight and dinner and couldn’t be more pleased! What a treat/​experience! If you are looking for something different in Tahoe this is the way to go. Bonus– outstanding customer service!!! We highly recommend this experience to everyone ;)

Took 50 amazing pictures. No way to duplicate the views. My wife and I did the 10 minute trip for our anniversary. It was sooo fun. 10 minutes was plenty.

My fiancé and I were in Lake Tahoe for President’s Day weekend, and I wanted to do something really special for Valentine’s Day/​his birthday (so much in one week!)
We called Helitahoe Valentine’s Day MORNING — and Claudio fit us in!
We had the $ 59 for 10 minutes Lake tour (I was afraid to go any longer!) and let me tell you — it felt great! It was just long enough where I was distracted from the height we were flying at by taking pictures.
Even though it was *only* 10 minutes, it really did feel a lot longer, and we had a very nice tour of the South Shore. Our pilot (not Claudio, but still awesome) was very knowledgeable and pointed out lots of places!
Also, we had the pictures come out GREAT!
One word of advice: Bring your camera (duh! but some people forget) and have whoever the «photographer» is sit in the front seat. The Helicopter is set up like a car — one front seat next to the pilot and two backseats. I sat in the backseat with my fiancé (because it would have been odd having him alone in the back) and I wished I sat in the front — the pictures would have come out better! Maybe next time we go all out for the 1 hr tour?

My parents and sister had never been in a helicopter before and what better place than Lake Tahoe to have their first flight.
I saw a flyer in our hotel advertising 10 minute flights for $ 49, which was good value for the stunning views I knew would be available. So Katie from front desk (thanks, Katie!) kindly called the company and we fixed up a 2.30pm flight.
Helitahoe operates out of Lake Tahoe Airport off the 50 running into town. Apparently, it used have large scheduled airlines flying in but these days, it’s very quiet.
Helitahoe is run by Claudio, a larger than life Italian, who made us feel right at home with some jokes. After a safety briefing and donning some life jackets in case we had to ditch, we made our way out to the Robinson R44 Raven helicopter.
Some touristy shots for the family photo album and we were off. Well, seeing Tahoe from the air is something else and certainly adds to the overall magnificence of the place. There are multiple smaller lakes and waterfalls, which are only visible from the air.
10 minutes was sufficient time to get to Emerald Bay and back and Claudio proved a great tour guide, pointing out things of interest along the flight.
A great way to view the lake and good value for money. Grazie, Claudio!
