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 were due to arrive in Talkeetna in the afternoon, but knew it was a possibility that our flight would need to be changed or canceled due to weather. Sure enough, we got a call that we needed to reschedule for the next day due to weather. We were given a morning option or an afternoon option. Thinking it plausible that morning cloud cover would burn off by the afternoon, we took the afternoon option. The office called us the next morning and asked if we could bump things up and arrive about 1.5 hours earlier than planned. We knew this was kind of the deal with flight seeing trips, so we rolled with it. Very well run operation, in our experience. Got super up close to Mount Foraker and Hunter and did the glacier landing. Great views, with very good narration from our pilot (forget his name). Family is still talking about it. We did ATVs in Denali, rafting outside of Hope, a cruise of Prince William Sound and this flight seeing trip for our big days out, along with a bunch of hiking. This was a big highlight of the trip.

This was once in a life time experience. We were not sure about this due to the cost. But, I think it was totally worth it. Glacier landing in midst of the mountains was unbelievable! The staff was very pleasant. Our pilot Clay was informative and friendly. Highly recommend this tour.

I was visiting Alaska with a tour beginning of June 2019 and one of the last optional trip was taking a plane to see the glacier at the base of Denali Mountain. When we arrived the people at Talkeetna Air Taxi were very friendly, competent and soon we were boarding a small plane. I was very surprised seeing that our pilot would be a young and beautiful woman(!). It turned out that Leighan (this was her name) was an excellent pilot. She was explaining us in very calmly voice where we are flying, what we are seeing and other interesting facts. The weather was a dream, sunny, almost no clouds, light wind. We landed on the glacier and when we stepped out it felt like euphoria for all of us :) We were taking the pictures, running around, sharing our thoughts. I can tell you that this place is special! Visiting Alaska and not taking Talkeetna Air Taxi to glacier is like missing the essential part of exploration. I highly recommend this activity. The unforgettable experience!
