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.

Booking was simple and the staff was very friendly. When we finally arrived a few months after we made the reservation, the staff treated us so well. Emily and the rest of the ladies at the check-in desk were fantastic. The flight was easy and smooth. Our pilot was very professional and made me feel confident in the ride, even though I was nervous about the flight. We did a glacier landing (strongly recommended) and it was unbelievable! Wear boots or they provide booties to keep your feet dry on the glacier. The only thing I would change would be to do a longer trip or do it again!

I always wanted to fly to a glacier but never expected to land on one. The view from the plane which was a ten seater was awesome. Everyone had their own window. We landed on Ruth Glacier, the view was phenomenal. I don't remember the pilot's name but he was very knowledgeable and was just enthuse as we were. Do the trip and you'll never regret it.

As one would expect, landing on Ruth glacier was magnificent, austere and gorgeous: The tour was just as billed. What was surprising was the level of service: we were picked up from the train, stowed our luggage in their office, were offered an earlier flight than our reservation, ate a picnic lunch on one of their three picnic tables after, and then they drove us into town to walk around, and then picked us up to get our luggage, and then drove us to our b and b outside of town. So they made our whole day in Talkeetna easy as pie. And this was AFTER we’d already had our flightseeing tour, their bread and butter.
