What To Expect

Talkeetna Air Taxi

You will start your excursion by checking into our log cabin office at the Talkeetna State Airport 45 minutes prior to your flight departure. Be sure to bring your sunglasses, light jacket (in the summer) and plenty of memory on your camera. Board our ski-equipped aircraft and enjoy your pilots' commentary about the geological history and local wildlife on your individual headset. Continue your flight above Talkeetna and over the river systems of the Susitna valley as you enter into an incredible landscape of icefalls, glaciers and snow peaks. You'll be awed by the Great Gorge of the Ruth Glacier, filled with a 4,000 foot thick river of ice, making this one of the deepest gorges in the world. Add a glacier landing onto your trip for a highlight of your Alaska vacation. This will add 30 minutes onto your trip time for this chance to bask in awe inspiring scenery.

The flightseeing tour was great! We had planned to do the Grand Denali tour with glacier landing, but due to weather conditions we could only do the Southside Explorer tour without the glacier landing. Talkeetna Air Taxi had great customer service. They gave us the option to cancel with a full refund or reschedule for another day. I appreciated their flexibility. We decided to go for the 1hr tour anyways. The views were breathtaking! We got to see the mountains and Ruth glacier up close and personal. It was definitely worth it! If you get the chance, weather permitting, I would recommend going for the glacier landing and Grand Denali Tour. That's what we'll try to do again next time.

Totally worth it! We were concerned about the price since we were already spending so much money in Alaska - but we were so glad we did it to see Denali and the surrounding range from a unique vantage point.

We did not get the experience we booked. The cloud cover and fog prevented us from seeing Denali and landing on the glacier. Those were the top 2 things we booked the trip for. BUT...they did take us up on a shorter trip that was still amazing AND refunded the difference promptly. I believe they did the best they could do considering circumstances beyond their control. What more can you ask for? I recommend this company 100%. They are organized, care about the experience and the safety of their guests. The operation was well run and worth the cost.
