Trip of a lifetime! - Such an AMAZING experience. Don’t miss this. Talkeetna Air Taxi is very flexible with your booking in helping you to choose a good weather day, which really helps! If you’re in the area for a few days, book for your first day, then watch the weather reports to reschedule if needed. Such a smooth ride with very knowledgeable and experienced pilots.

Talkeetna Air Taxi Flightseeing Tour. - We had a blast and it was well worth the money. This company was exactly what we could've hoped for and more. Everyone from the person booking our trip (missed her name), the pilot (Kade), to the shuttle driver (J Mac). Kade was an excellent pilot amd very knowledgeable. He shared lots of very interesting information during the trip. He was able to answer any and all questions asked. If you're wondering whether you should take a flight to Denali National Park, the answer is yes! Will absolutely recommend this trip to our friends and family and will take another flight the next time we are here.

A "NOT TO BE MISSED" MOUNT MCKINLEY EXPERIENCE. - The Talkeetna Air Taxi experience was spectacular. This company is very organized and every employee we experienced was very friendly and knew their jobs well. It was the highlight of our trip to Alaska. Our pilot Ian was experienced, friendly, confident, very knowledgeable and being from New Zealand had just a great accent for describing Mount McKinley. I think any visit to Alaska should include a tour with Talkeetna Ait Taxi. WELL DONE

Awesome experience - This is the best trip I have ever made to get a close up look at the Denali. The pilot was amazing getting us every view possible and the landing in the glacier was just absolutely the most amazing thing I have ever had in my life.

Visit to Denali glaciers - The flight was beautiful and staff incredibly attentive and professional. Unfortunately, Mother Nature did not accommodate our landing on the glacier but the service refunded part of our trip expense. I thought this was a wonderful touch, particularly since we still got an incredible flight with Daniel! Highly recommend this company.

- Clouds hugged the distant mountains so only the tips of the largest peaks were visible. That said our pilot Daniel did an amazing job getting us the best views possible and sharing information about what we were seeing. Regardless flying in and around snowy mountains was an incredible experience not afforded to many.
