Breathtaking Glacier View
Published on Jan, 2025
Once-in-a-lifetime experience! Amazing view and an awesome guide! You get the chance to stand on the glacier and feel it with your hands. 5/5!
Wonderful experience on glacier
Published on Jan, 2025
It was an amazing experience. The experience we couldn’t miss in Alaska. The glacier was so amazing, never seen ice so massive and naturally blue like that. Big thanks to our pilot Shad, flew us safely and wonderfully. We absolutely love the view!!
Awe-inspiring adventure
Published on Dec, 2024
Indescribable moments of wonder and unforgettable bonding with my child as we immerse ourselves in the breathtaking beauty of nature.
Our guide, Bryan Kloese, is truly exceptional and generously shared a wealth of knowledge about the area.
Stunning views, great service, safe operation, wouldn’t miss seeing the glacier this close!
Published on Dec, 2024
Stunning views, Even though the weather was unseasonable with no snow it was still so beautiful. Definitely recommend seeing the glaciers by helicopter, because the lake wasn’t frozen we couldn’t land quite so close but still amazing to see the colours of the ice and the mountains so close!
Alaska: Air taxi trip
Published on Dec, 2024
The whole experience of Talkeetna Air Taxi was awesome. We went in June-July of 2021. Upon arrival they gear you up with shoe covers and weighs you. Leave your belongings in the car. Then they put you in a plane based on the group of people and weights. We were a group of 6 people . Our pilot was a guy from New Zealand ( sorry forgot the name) The air taxi takes off as small plane with wheels and flies close amidst the high glaciered-mountains and the beauty of it is just unbelievable. Below you can see mountaineers and glaciered rivers . We land amidst the glaciers. There are landing spaces for planes landing on the glaciers of Denali National Park. The landing wheels change into skaters. Standing amongst the great peaks and glaciers offers a perspective that is inspirational and unique.
A highly recommended thing to do if you are visiting Alaska.
