We loved it. - We loved the Hover Craft Tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Alaska. Recommend it highly. Because it was moose season and late in the year when we went we did not see any bear or moose but that was expected. However we say some beautiful eagles, both bald eagles and golden eagles. We also got out of the hover craft at one point on a sand bar and saw some great footprints of bear and wolf in the sand. Awesome tour. Please see the attached pictures.

Talkeetna Hovercraft Tour - Amazing time on the hovercraft tour! The crew was very friendly and knowledable and we really enjoyed ourselves. We did the 1.5 hour tour and it was the perfect amount of time. The boat is enclosed and spacious with seating and ample room for everyone. I would highly recommend this tour if you're visiting Talkeetna!

Knik River/ Glacier Tour - Jerrid & Phil were great hosts on this 4 + hour excursion! We thought about taking the 1.5 hr tour out of Talkeetna but actually had time for the longer tour on the Knik River/ Glacier Tour. We took a variety of different excursions on our trip to Alaska but this was certainly the best time and money spent! Well worth every penny. We were up close to the Glacier and got some amazing pictures and video. If you have time call and book it.. if not… then take the short excursion.. you won’t be disappointed.

Great river trip in Talkeetna - Our guide and captain, Jerrid, was very knowledgeable about so many natural aspects of the area and state, especially geology and biology. He conveyed a lot of info in an interesting and entertaining manner. Seeing the valley and mountains from the river was a new perspective. And the eagles! So many. The hovercraft itself was pretty interesting, to say nothing of his first mate, Ro the sweetest, tiny mini dachshund. Thank you Jerrid for a great trip!
