The way to see Denali

Spectacular Experience

One of the most spectacular experiences of our Alaska trip! We flew with K2 Aviation out of Talkeetna for a flightseeing tour over Denali National Park, and WOW! Seeing Denali, Ruth Glacier, the enormous snowfields and seemingly endless mountains from a small plane was absolutely breathtaking. Pictures simply cannot capture the scale and beauty of this part of Alaska. Our pilot, Riley, was fantastic, and our flight ended up including an experience we never could have planned. Conditions allowed us to land on a glacier, where we picked up two climbers/skiers who had been stranded there for three days! Watching Riley handle the glacier landing and pickup while surrounded by those massive mountains made the whole experience feel like something straight out of National Geographic. We booked this expecting a beautiful sightseeing flight and came away with a true once-in-a-lifetime Alaska experience. If you're visiting Talkeetna and considering a Denali flightseeing tour, DO IT—and K2 Aviation gets an enthusiastic 5/5 from us!

Incredible! Breathtaking!...

Incredible! Breathtaking! We absolutely loved our flight with Danny. She was a wonderful pilot and we all felt very safe in her hands. I think we were the last flight of the day to actually land on the glacier, so be prepared for the weather to change in a matter of minutes!

Bucket List Experience in Alaska

I wanted to do a bucket list activity while on our bucket list trip to Alaska. We debated on several different activities and choser K2 and the Denali Grand Tour with Glacier Landing. I had read that weather will often cancel a trip. The morning of our flight, it was a sunny day. Unfortunately, when we checked in, we were told they were still flying but couldn't do the Grand Tour but offered us the Denali Experience. We decided to go ahead and do that tour. Our pilot was fantastic and safety was his #1 priority and giving us a great tour was a close #2. He narrated almost the entire flight. Once we landed on the glacier, he immediately offered to take our photos. We were the first of three planes to land on the glacier. The scenery was stunning and watching two other planes land on the glacier was something I'll never forget. If you're looking for a bucket list activity - Denali Flightseeing Tour with Glacier Landing should be high on your list.

Very professional and worth every cent.

We were very lucky as the tour hadn't been operating for a couple of days due to bad weather. Lucky for us it had been snowing up there, so when we landed on the glacier everything was a clean crisp white. Plus, we hadn't seen snow for many many years. We were allowed to walk around but not too far from the plane for safety reasons. The pilot was very knowledgeable and both landing and takeoff were very smooth. I think it is one of the best value for money tours in Alaska. If your budget extends to a flight with a glacier landing don't pass it by, just go for it. Great tour and great company!

Must do Alaska Experience!

We had a terrific time with our flight out to Mt Denali and landing on the glacier. The experience is certainly weather dependent in terms of views and whether you can even land on the glacier. I would advise to check the weather the day beforehand to have some sense of if the weather will cooperate for you. Views of the Ruth Glacier and the surrounding mountains were incredible! And the fact that you can land on a glacier is super cool!

Absolutely amazing tour

Absolutely unreal experience- it was mind-blowing landing on a glacier! We were blessed with a perfect weather day and got insane views of the Alaskan range and all the glaciers around. Mt. Denali showed up in full grandeur. Our pilot was amazing and the take off and landing was super smooth and exciting. Cannot recommend this trip enough!
