Hot Air Ballon Ride Santa Rosa, CA
How romantic is it to go on a Hot Air Balloon ride? Any of you who have done this activity know exactly what I am talking about. Add this breath taking activity with one of the most stunning areas in California, the Wine Country, and you end up with a trully unique experience. Think of it as a “Nature Walk in the Sky.”
You will see the Pacific Coast, Redwood Forests, the Russian River, San Francisco’s Skyline, plus so much more. Since you are moving with the air currents, you won’t feel any funny stomach sensations. Even those afraid of hights have nothing to worry about. There is no linear perspective to know how far up you really are (somewhere between 500 and 1500 feet). All you will feel is tranquility.
How much does it cost? About $250 per person. It’s not the cheapest activity, but it is most definitely one to remember.

As we continue to migrate into Northern California, we came across Lake Tahoe. It is most definitely one of the sweet spots in NorCal, displaying golf courses, casinos, ski resorts, crystal clear waters, towering pines, and, of course, a great time. To get us started, what better than a tour in the sky of this gorgeous place? We added five helicopter tours, listed below.
- Lake Tahoe Sunset Helicopter Tour – $279/Person
“The Sunset Tour takes you on a complete trip around the lake, and will show you Lake Tahoe awash in magnificent colors as you view the setting sun from across the lake.” - Lake Tahoe Helicopter Tour – $229/Person
“Take a helicopter tour over beautiful Lake Tahoe and see all it has to offer! On this tour, you’ll fly high above breathtaking Emerald Bay, Camp Richardson, Meeks Bay, Tahoe City, Kings Beach, Incline Village and so much more!“ - Emerald Bay Helicopter Tour – $49/Person
“The Emerald Bay helicopter tour shows you the wonder of Emerald Bay, Fallen Leaf Lake and Vikingsholm. The flight is approximately 10 minutes in length, and you’ll be surprised at how much you get to see on this helicopter tour over Lake Tahoe!“ - Tahoe Casino Helicopter Tour – $49/Person
“On this helicopter tour over Tahoe, you’ll first head over to the Edgewood Golf Course, home of the Celebrity Invitational Golf Tournament. You’ll get to see the casinos at Stateline, Heavenly Ski Resort and the Heavenly Gondola.“ - Tahoe South Shore Helicopter Tour – $119/Person
“On this tour, you’ll get to see the beauty of Lake Tahoe from Zephyr Cove to the magnificent Emerald Bay. Crystal clear waters, towering pines, snow-covered mountains – these are just some of the breathtaking sights you’ll experience on this 20 minute helicopter tour over South Lake Tahoe.“
ENJOY!
That was such a blast! There aren’t many activities you can go to where you enjoy drinking fine wine throughout the entire day. Our bus picked us up at our hotel at around 10:00am, and off we went to visit the amazing wineries of Napa and Sonoma, California.
Sonoma County Wine Tour
Did you know that when wine grapes are grown, they are forced to fight for their lives? They are given little support, which in turn makes them grow concentrated with sugar.
Wine Grapes growing in Napa
Our tour lasted about 6 hours. We were served lunch at our second winery and provided with water bottles all along. At each stop we tasted anywhere from 5 to 10 different types of wine. White wines, red wines, dry wines, sweet wines, etc. It really takes your pallet to new levels!
We have several Southern California wine tasting tours on our website, but we will be adding Napa Valley tours very soon!
