Incredible! Breathtaking views.
It is well worth the money and the views are epic!! We happened to get the BEST day ever! Clear for miles and miles! God’s country!
Overall good experience but the inability to land on the glacier rubbed off the sheen of the experience. Understandably there are safety reasons to do so but as tourists we were looking forward to the same. The pilot Jamie did try her best and a fellow Cessna pilot was able to do it. Check in at K2 Aviation was seamless Finally the ageing DC3 planes are probably too heavy for soft snow landing (ours was N125KT built in 1977) and the back end of the plane was smelling of diesel fumes which was highlighted. Hope it is checked for CO)
Amazing experience- our pilot Ben flew us (just my husband & I) up around Denali and glaciers the views were breathtaking. Ben was very informative of the area and shared his knowledge. I would totally do this again!
We had a wonderful time flightseeing even though we weren’t able to land on the glacier due to weather. It was amazing to see Alaska’s landscape from the air.
We spontaneously decided to try flightseeing. K2 was responsive and encouraged us to head over immediately if we wanted to get to get on a flight. We went flying with Dorothy who was engaging and taught us a lot about Denali park and glaciers. It was a great outing
Great sights , friendly pilot who was very informative, and gave plenty of opportunities to take great pictures
Incredible experience all around! Beautiful scenery, perfect weather that day, knowledgeable pilot. Highly recommend!!!
Fabulous and incredible are two words that come to mind but still falls short of how truly amazing the flight experience was. Check in process was seamless. The view of Mount Denali, and the surrounding mountains on a very clear day with blue sky was jaw dropping. The flight takes you into places surrounded by tall snow covered cliffs and lands on an ice field. You can see Denali right in front. Definitely recommend doing this flight.
It was a once in a lifetime amazing experience. Our tour guide was amazing. The views were breathtaking, and the kids had a blast playing in the snow when we landed on Ruth Glacier. We would definitely recommend this to anyone with or without children. The flight was very smooth.
