Amazing day trip - The flight and the scenery was breathtaking. The pilot kept in constant communication. Best way to experience Mount McKinley. The glacier Landing was a great choice because it put us right in the heart of the mountains and let us take time to absorb everything we were saying.

It’s a must do, once in your life time trip - Such an amazing trip. I highly recommend this company and this trip to see Denali and land on a glacier. It was worth every penny. The flight was smooth. The pilot was very knowledgeable. I cannot say enough about this outfitter. They also give you waterproof socks/booties to put over your shoes so you can walk on the glacier.

A great flight with awesome views of Denali! And the most amazing change to land & walk on a glacier! - Talkeetna Air Taxi was amazing. They are friendly and professional. We went up on our 1st trip but were unable to land on a glacier. Due to cloud cover that moved in. They worked with us to schedule another flight the next day. We successfully landed! The pilots on both fights were awesome. Thank you Rich & Liam!

Alaskan must do— for locals too! - I’ve lived in Alaska for the last handful of years but haven’t done a Denali flight tour until now, and my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. This is the absolute best way to get a comprehension of just how big Denali and the surrounding mountains are, and the scenery is absolutely jaw dropping. The glacier landing was also amazing, it was so cool to be standing outside among these stunning mountains. I can’t recommend it enough!
