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!

Wonderful Wildlife and Glacier Viewing

This excursion was everything I had hoped - beautiful weather, loads of Alaskan ocean wildlife, and very knowledgeable crew. We even got to see some calving from the Holgate Glacier. In addition, we had some special circumstances with our traveling companions and the company was very accommodating.

Highlight of Our Entire Trip

This experience was the highlight of our entire trip. Coastal Helicopters did a great job. The pick up and ride to the airport was seamless. The driver was a Juneau native and very personable. The preparation entailed a weigh-in, special boot fitting, and a quick safety video. Boarding the helicopter was easy with assistance provided. After riding in previous helicopters, this was by far the smoothest ride ever thanks to our great pilot. We forgot to get her name, but think she may be the only female pilot. She provided narration while flying and before a soft landing on the glacier. While walking around the glacier for about 20-25 minutes, she provided interesting information about the glacier. Walking around the glacier and touching the cold water was pretty cool. Would highly recommend this experience with this company!

Best day ever!

Thanks to Fallon and Tavel, the two very experienced guides, me and my mom had a best day ever! It is so cool to have 3 hours on the glacier and do whatever you want. The guides know the best spot to explore. The tour itself is pricey but it definitely worth it!

Couldn't have asked for better

The staff was absolutely terrific, from the warm welcome to the heartfelt farewell at the end of our experience. Their kindness, attentiveness, and willingness to go above and beyond made the day truly unforgettable. My tears of disappointment were overwhelming when I realized that, because of the changing weather, there was a very real possibility that I might not get this opportunity. It was also the last day of the season that this particular experience was being offered, so I thought I had missed my chance. We decided to try another one of Alpine’s adventures, to walk on Spencer Glacier and taste the incredibly fresh glacier water. We enjoyed that experience so much! But then, to my surprise, the wonderful crew back at the office called our pilot and coordinated for us to land in one helicopter and immediately transfer to another so we wouldn't miss the opportunity to see the sled dogs in action. I was absolutely overwhelmed by their thoughtfulness and determination to make it happen. While waiting for our turn—and again afterward—I was able to cuddle and love on some of the most precious puppies. It was such a special experience and one I will cherish for a very long time.

Once in a lifetime experience. Just, wow.

For me, this was an experience of a lifetime. Truly incredible. I can't say enough good things. The whole process, from booking to leaving was so easy. I can't say enough about how well organized the booking, communication, and check-in process was. When I arrived (I was traveling alone) there was no confusion about where to park or where to go, as there were staff always around guiding you (and there was a moose calmly having a snack with it's baby next to the parking lot). The helicopter tour gave you a video safety briefing, and provided boots to go over your boots (and additional spikes they put on you once you hit the glacier in icy conditions). And then, there were the views... unparalleled. Just breathtaking. The helicopter guides, mushers, and all involved were so nice, informative, funny, and accommodating. This was so worth the money. I'll be talking about it, and sharing the one million photos I took, for years to come.

Amazing Glacier Experience with an Exceptional Pilot

Hands down one of the best experiences ever! 🚁❄️ Landing on the glacier was unforgettable, and spotting moose on the flight back made it even better. The helicopter ride was super smooth, and huge thanks to our pilot Kory for being so friendly and capturing awesome photos for us! 🫎✨

Amazing authentic experience

This was well worth doing. First, the helicopter ride out to the glacier and back was exquisite. On a clear day, the views were so beautiful that at one point I had tears in my eyes. Then the husky experience was amazing. The guides are so passionate about the dogs and the sport, riding with them was awesome and listening to their stories while we waited for the chopper to come back was great too.

Amazing people and experience!!

Everyone was SUPER helpful! My husband has mobility issues and they helped him get in the helicopter and get comfortable. He didn’t want to get out on the glacier so our pilot Cedric landed and took the door off so he could get a better view. Absolutely fabulous experience!!!

Elizabeth_K, Jun 2026

Worth the money!

Words can’t describe how incredible this experience was! Aaron was a great pilot (and photographer) and took us to 3 amazing spots that we could not have gotten to on our own. We got to walk around in each location and decide how long we wanted to spend at each. We chose to spend most of our time on the glacier, which was a blast to walk around with spikes on our shoes. Bring a water bottle to drink some glacier water! I definitely think the value was worth the price. We were a couple in the helicopter alone with the pilot and each spot had no one there. Do it!!!

Alaskan helo tour and glacier landing

The entire team was great. Special call out to our pilot Kyle, note only was he a great pilot, but an awesome tour guide who went above and beyond to show us wildlife, give us insight and snap some photos of us. I was against this tour due to the price but my wife insisted and she was 1000% right. Once in a life time experience with a top notch professional crew!
