Amazing experience! - Amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience. We had a great trip thanks to our pilot Richard. We saw amazing Mountain & Glacier View’s and even Denali’s peak. Landed on the Pika Glacier (“Little Switzerland”) to pick up some skiers which was an awesome moment, we’ll never forget.

Talkneeta to Denali air experience. - We had a great time on the flight over Denali. On arrival at the air field, we were briefed on the flight and within 30 minutes we were boarding our aircraft. Talkneeta is about 60 miles from Denali range so the range is also in view in the distance. When we flew through the mountains, the views were outstanding with the snow bringing another dimension to the mountains, valleys and glaciers. We would throughly recommend the adventure and we will return in the future. Everyone at Talkneeta Air Taxi were great to work with!!! 👍👍👍

Bluebird day with The Great One! - What a great experience the Winter Explorer Flight-seeing Tour was for our family! We had a bluebird day, with endless views of Mt. Denali and the Alaska range. Our pilot was experienced, kind, and had lots of great information for our group. I really enjoyed seeing well-known peaks like Moose's Tooth, Mt. Huntington, and Broken Tooth. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thanks to everyone at Talkeetna Air Taxi!

Dream come true - What an amazing experience,Smooth check in, professional and informative pilot. We felt safe at all time. Weather cooperated and were able to land in the glacier which was a dream come true. Spent considerable time in the glacier taking in the views, never felt rushed and got to see up and close the mountains as he flew close to then giving us views from all angles. We definitely want to repeat this experience, probably in a different season and will chose talkeetna Air Taxi again.

Winter Glacier Views - Even though we weren’t able to see Denali that day due to thick clouds not allowing us to fly through them, we did still see the incredible Ruth glacier and the surrounding mountains. Seeing everything from that perspective was so unique and it makes you feel very small, but in a good way. Those glaciers, especially the alpine ones coming down from the mountains like waterfalls were really a sight to behold. Even on the flight back to Talkeetna the winding frozen rivers across the landscape were so beautiful. Our pilot Andy was great and I felt perfectly safe the whole time.

Grand Views Around Talkeetna - When visiting Talkeetna going on a flightseeing tour is a must, and having selected Talkeetna Air Taxi was an excellent choice. The weather could have not been better. This absolutely magic day yielded grand views of the range, and of course in particular Denali. I travel through Alaska since 2010, and I go on a flightsee every time I visit, and I visit twice a year. It's simply magic, and Talkeetna Air Taxi ensures that every trip is special. Just awesome!!!!!

Unforgettable experience! - I’m always a bit hesitant to schedule flightseeing tours (due to an experience many, many years ago) but decided to give it a try again on this trip. I’m so very glad I did!! The views were amazing!! Our pilot was great and I’d fly with him again anytime. He was very conscientious of our wellbeing throughout flight. He pointed out specific areas of interest and details about the glaciers and mountains. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to complete the glacier landing as originally planned. I appreciate the agency’s communication regarding the safety concerns which were communicated with us prior to the flight. It was was a great experience from check-in to chevk-out. Would love to fly with them again if I’m able to return to Alaska. Thanks Talkeetna Air for a great experience!!
