Flightseeing

Explore Lake Tahoe from the air on a private scenic flight and experience the adventure of true mountain flying. North Tahoe Aviation offers airplane tours aboard a Cessna 180 bush plane, one of the most respected and capable aircraft ever built for high-altitude and backcountry environments. Our aircraft features modern Garmin glass-panel avionics for advanced navigation and redundant communication. With seating for up to three passengers, our Lake Tahoe airplane tours are perfect for couples, families, or friends looking to share the experience and the cost. Departing from the Truckee Tahoe Airport, enjoy breathtaking aerial views of Lake Tahoe, the surrounding Sierra Nevada Mountains, and the unique operations of a small mountain airport.
