Take a breathtaking balloon ride over Lake Tahoe provided by Lake Tahoe Balloons from the Tahoe Keys Marina. Lake Tahoe Balloons is Lake Tahoe's only hot air balloon service.
Flights begin shortly after sunrise and last about 4.5 hours. You will get to begin your day on the Tahoe Flyer watching the fascinating process of balloon inflation. You will witness our crew first hand as they prepare the balloon for flight.
Once the balloon is inflated, you will be just moments away from enjoying the memories of a lifetime. Once inflated, guests will join us on the upper deck where will begin boarding.
When ready, the flight will depart and take our guests high above Lake Tahoe for an approximate one hour flight. Flying from lake level to approximately 8,000 - 10,000 feet above sea level provides views of all of Tahoe including Emerald Bay, the second most photographed spot in the U.S. and other vistas including Fallen Leaf Lake, Cascade Lake and the desolation wilderness.
Many days visibility allows views of the peaks of Yosemite and the coastal foothills over 150 miles away.
At the end of the flight, the pilot will remarkably land back on the upper deck of the Tahoe Flyer and our crew will begin the deflation process of the balloon.
To celebrate this once in a lifetime experience the pilot, crew and our guests will all enjoy a traditional champagne toast with plenty of champagne, mimosas and snacks while cruising back to the Marina. As a token of our appreciation we will provide you with a special logo souvenir.
Please allow approximately 4 hours for the entire trip. For balloon rides over Carson Valley, visit our website.
