Weight limits apply: Maximum per-passenger weight is 250lbs. Maximum weight of all passengers combined must not exceed 500lbs. Passenger weights must be accurately provided at time of booking. Groups reaching a combined weight of 500 lbs will be subject to a weight check upon arrival for their flight. Any individual weighing 300 lbs or more will not be permitted to fly per the limitations of the aircraft. Any cancellation of a planned flight due to weights exceeding the maximum allowable aircraft weight (individual or combined) will be charged at full price. One of Lake Tahoe's most visited beaches, Sand Harbor, is known for its gorgeous sand beaches and multi-hued waters. Fly over some of the locals' best kept secrets, the hidden beaches and bays along the east shoreline: Glenbrook Bay, Secret Harbor, Skunk Harbor, and Chimney Beach. After reaching Sand Harbor, we climb up for a look at Marlette Lake, at 7,841 feet above sea level!

Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the helicopter tour over Sand Harbor?

A: There are no specific age restrictions mentioned for the Sand Harbor helicopter tour. However, kids must be able to wear the provided noise-reducing headsets comfortably, and they should be accompanied by an adult. I took my 10-year-old, and he had a blast! Just make sure they’re tall enough for the seatbelt.

Q: What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule our flight due to weight issues?

A: If you need to cancel due to weight issues, they do charge the full price, so it’s super important to be accurate with passenger weights during booking. If someone in your group is close to the limit, definitely check before booking. Rescheduling is usually possible but might depend on availability, so I'd contact them ASAP.

Q: What should we wear for the helicopter tour? Is it cold up there?

A: It's best to wear layers! It can get chilly up in the helicopter. I recommend a light jacket or hoodie, especially if you’re going in the morning or later in the day. Also, comfy shoes are a must since you’ll be walking around a bit at Sand Harbor. Sunglasses are a good idea too - the view is stunning!

Just booked the Sand Harbor Helicopter Tour for my boyfriend's birthday!

Super excited about this! We're going next month and I can’t stop thinking about the views. I've heard the east shoreline is gorgeous, and I can’t wait to see Marlette Lake from the air. Just hoping the weather is nice because I’ve read it can change fast in Tahoe. Has anyone done this tour recently? Any last-minute tips?

Helicopter tour over Sand Harbor - Worth the price?

Thinking about this as a gift for my parents’ anniversary. They’ve never been in a helicopter before! Is it really as good as it sounds? What’s included besides the flight? I'm curious if they’ll be comfortable, especially my dad, who’s a bit heavy.
