Corporate Team Building in Lake Tahoe

The Challenge

It's challenging to find true, bonding experiences for teams.

While a lot of experiences claim to offer team building, they're missing one fundamental feature — awe. Instead your people are put through an experience that feels more like a chore than an opportunity to bond.

You don't want to:

Deal with people over-drinking on a brewery or pub experience

Rent a conference or pavilion where everybody stands around

Scream over loud music to be heard at a public hangout

The Experience

Tahoe's premiere, outdoor activity for your team.

Your team will rise above the waters of Lake Tahoe in a hot-air balloon that is taking off from the deck of the world's only hot air balloon aircraft carrier. Let the quietness of the morning fill your team's ears as each person gets to embark on this motor-less sensation of flight.

Common questions

What groups ask us

Is it safe?

Lake Tahoe Balloons has an excellent safety record, and what makes us unique is that we land on a boat rather than hard ground. As a result, our landings are gentle and our flights are appropriate for nearly everyone from 6 years old on up. As with any activity, ballooning has its risks.

Is there food included?

Yes. We provide coffee, tea, packaged pastries and snacks aboard the Tahoe Flyer as part of every flight. For group buyouts, we're happy to discuss upgrades.

What happens if it rains or snows?

Rain, snow or wind: inclement weather is the bane of every balloonist's existence. If your flight is canceled because of the weather, your balloon flight will be refunded in full. We're happy to discuss "plan B" options with you in the event of a weather cancellation.

Are bathrooms available?

Yes! We recommend using the restroom at the Tahoe Keys Marina before boarding, but we also have a restroom aboard the Tahoe Flyer, our custom USCG balloon launch and recovery vessel. The balloon itself is not equipped with a restroom.

Will you pick us up and drop us off?

We're happy to help you arrange transportation to and from the Tahoe Keys Marina if needed. Pricing varies depending on where your group is being picked up.

Are you available on my date?

A hot-air balloon flight over Lake Tahoe is a one-of-a-kind experience, and we book up quickly. We suggest planning ahead and securing your booking well in advance; the larger the group, the more lead time we advise. That said, we'll do whatever we can to accommodate you if you're a bit behind schedule. Call us at 530-544-1221 and we'll see what we can do for your group.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the size of your group and any package upgrades you select. Our base price is $5,000 for an exclusive flight of up to 12 guests, and $10,000 for a buyout of both the balloon and the boat.
