Hot Air Ballooning - Tahoe over Lake Tahoe or the Carson Valley. Flights over Lake Tahoe actually depart from and land on a specially modified boat. The 'Tahoe Flyer' is the only boat of its kind and functions like a mini-aircraft carrier. Enjoy a breakfast on the lower deck as you are transported to an upwind launch site on the lake. Flights are approximately 1-hour and end with a champagne toast. Tahoe Flyer departs from the Tahoe Keys Marina at the intersection of Highways 50 & 89 in South Lake Tahoe.
