Get an amazing view of the lake from a balloon run by Lake Tahoe Balloons and launched from a 21 ton, two-deck catamaran aircraft carrier vessel.
Tahoe Balloons launches their tours early in the morning near the Tahoe Keys Marina. A continental breakfast is served before launching and while the balloon is readied, passengers will have a chance to watch the crew inflate the balloon. The tour takes passengers about 8,000 to 10,000 feet in the air which will offer you views of Emerald Bay, Fallen Leaf Lake, Cascade Lake and Desolation Wilderness. Some clear days, you can see all the way to Yosemite. The flight takes about an hour, but about four hours should be reserved for the entire trip.
