Amazing! Well worth it. Wonderful pilot! Entire flight was perfect. Flight was smooth and comfortable. Views were great. Landing so smooth I almost couldn’t tell when we hit the ground again.

What a fantastic experience. I could not say enouth about how accommodating the Talkeenta Air Taxi team was. We showed up on a cloudy day, and there were no other parties interested in flying. They have accommodated our wishes and flew two of us on a small Cessna. Our pilot (Will) was fantastic - very knowledgeable, friendly and experienced. Despite low cloud celling, we had a wonderful trip, and was the glaciers and mountains up close. Thank you Talkeenta Air Taxi for giving us this unforgettable experience.

This is a trip not to be missed! An amazing experience from start to finish! Staff were knowledgeable and helpful, patiently answering all questions. Safety was clearly the highest priority with customer satisfaction a very close second. Our pilot, Tim, was the ultimate professional, but personable and engaging. His clear depth of knowledge and skill gave us the highlight of our weeklong Alaskan adventure!

It was wonderful! Talkeetna Air Taxi is professional, competent and personable. We flew around the summit of McKinley and other peaks of the Alaska Range. The morning was clear over the peaks surrounding Mt McKinley/Denali. The mountains sparkled with the snow. Our pilot was knowledgeable and informative explaining the rugged terrain and many glaciers below. We watched another plane land on a glacier at a base camp to drop off/pick up hikers. On our return to the airport our pilot gave us an overview of the rivers and tundra with many ponds/lakes and homes between the Alaska Range and Talkeetna. Well worth the tour!
