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.

We had booked the summit Tour with glacier landing but unfortunately due to bad weather, the plan was cancelled and we instead did the south side explorer. The experience was great overall. The views of the mountains and the glaciers is next to none. We were disappointed not to do the glacier landing. However, we got refunded promptly from TAK. Definitely recommend the flight-seeing tour.

Absolutely amazing. I got really lucky and was upgraded to the flight with the stop on the glacier, and I am so glad I did. It was breathtaking. If you’re debating taking this one or upgrading to the one with the stop on the glacier... trust me it is well worth the upgrade!!!!!

We had an amazing experience on our flightseeing tour! We called frequently in the days leading up to our tour to make sure we selected a time with weather as good as possible. They were very communicative and helpful, and even moved our flight time from 3p to 12:30p on the day of (luckily we were there during the off season, so there was some availability still!) Our guide, Leanne, was so nice and informative, describing exactly what we were seeing and where we were going. She also has been a pilot for many many years, which was very comforting. Also, our guide wore a mask on the plane and all passengers are required to do so as well. We had originally signed up to do the glacier landing, but unfortunately, it was too windy and landing was not safe. The company automatically issued a refund for the glacier landing portion of our flight, no work on our part. I 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Talkeetna. This was our first time in Alaska, and the flightseeing was the highlight of our trip.
