We booked this tour independently after being unable to book a flightseeing excursion with the land/cruise trip by Celebrity Cruises. We easily found the small Talkeetna Airport. We walked to it from the small town of Takeenta in less than 10 mins. The entire was EXCELLENT! The pilot was very experienced (+20 yrs in Alaska), and we had an easy take-off and landing. He pointed out all of the amazing sights. The views were breathtaking! We were a party of four, including 2 elementary aged children. It was our first time in a small plane. We would all highly recommend this tour and this company.

Absolutely breathtaking views and experience. The experience is something that has to be done. Just go! Book the flight- and you wont regret. The flight was smooth and unforgettable, and the pilot was a great guide and professional.

We debated cancelling this excursion as we had done so much flying already, but I am SO glad we didn't! The first day we were not able to go as the weather wasn't clear, but they rescheduled us to the next day and it was perfect! Wow, what a fabulous way to see Denali. Gorgeous views the entire route. Not a cloud in the sky. We landed on the glacier and had the opportunity to get out and walk around and take some pics. Wow, what an awesome experience!

Absolutely breathtaking views. The scale is just something that has to be seen to be believed. The flight was smooth and professionally run, and the pilot was a great guide. 100% would recommend again.

This is a truly amazing bucket list experience. Up in a small 12 seater buzzing around the denali range like you are taking intro shots for a lord of the rings movie. The pilot said we got within about 500ft of some of the peaks but it felt like you could reach out and touch them at times. We also paid the extra to land on a feeder glacier for the Ruth Glacier flow and it was expensive but well worth it. Following the Glacier down on the way back was also an amazing and educational experience. We had a clear day for this trip which I am told is unusual, so we were very lucky.

Chris was awesome and took us all around the mountains to get the best views and explained everything. Great guide and pilot!

I can’t even describe how amazing this was. Pilot Alex was amazing and he made sure everyone got great views multiple times. This is a once in a lifetime experience with the glacier landing being an absolute highlight. Five stars isn’t nearly enough. Loved it!!

An absolutely amazing experience flying over Denali with a wonderful pilot who took us close the the points of interest and gave us tons of information about things we were seeing. Getting off on the glacier and walking around to take pics was fantastic. We loved his sense of humor as he we were leaving the glacier when he told us we were going on a toboggon ride .

This is the company to fly with around Denali & to land on Ruth Glacier. This flight exceeded all my expectations! My pilot, Nick was just lovely. Mad respect for landing on & taking off from a glacier!! Worth every penny.

A must-do in Talkeetna!! Although it was too cloudy for us to circle around Denali, we still got to take in some incredible views and enjoyed a glacier landing! Our pilot Liam was friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole team made the process go as smoothly as possible! You won’t regret signing up for any of their flightseeing experiences!
