Take an interactive flight lesson in an Apollo Trike. This FAA certified light-sport aircraft features a modern hang gliding wing, very much like a traditional hang glider, but powered by a reliable Rotax aircraft engine. We cater to thrill seekers and the not-so-thrilled alike. This is an exciting and memorable adventure for all. « less

This is a must while on vacation. It is a rush tassking off and then when you are floating above the lake, the view is like none other. I have been asked if I got wet aqnd the answer is no - easy up, easy ride, and easy down. If you get a chance - do it.

I wanted to give my son (15) and daughter (13) an experience that they would not forget and I think we did that with the powered hang glider ride/lesson over Lake Tahoe. They took off out of the Carson City airport, each on their own 45 minute ride. They flew over the mountains and over the edge of Lake Tahoe... More

My hour flight around Lake Tahoe was one of the most relaxing and beautiful experiences of Tahoe. Paul is such a professional and you know you're in good hands.... just read his experience on the website. You will want to go again and again!

My wife and I both took an hour flight in the ultra-lite and were both thrilled with the experience. We flew over sierra mountain passes, viewed mountain lakes completely hidden in high mountain valleys, and flew over secret waterfalls. The views were absolutely breathtaking.

Hang gliding Tahoe is located just south of Reno in Carson City. It's by far the best way to see the mountains and beautiful lake Tahoe! The aircraft feels surprisingly stable for it's light weight and is very comfortable. I had a wonderful time and would recommend this to others!

Although we scheduled late and could only have a short ride, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Paul is an extremely capable, qualified pilot and even though there was little equipment keeping us aloft, I felt safe every minute. He explained in detail what he was doing, even giving us the opportunity to steer under his guidance. He has a camera... More
