Flying on the plane overlooking Denali/Mount McKinley was incredible. We were so close to the mountains. Landing on the Glacier was awesome. I would highly recommend this excursion. Our pictures do not do it justice. You have to see it for yourself.
My only negative comment is that the pilot should have been more personable.

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.

Seeing Denali by air and landing on the glacier was a fantastic experience! Excellent pilot, smooth ride.

Fantastic experience for our family of 9! We felt safe and comfortable with our pilot and he was very knowledgeable. We were booked on a day that was filled with rain and clouds. K2 very graciously rebooked us for the next day, which turned out to be gorgeous and sunny! Glacier boots and sunglasses if needed were provided. Highly recommend!!!

It was so informative and awesome. We lucked out with a beautiful sunshiny day. Our pilot Ben was great. Loved it, best excursion we’ve had in Alaska.
Heidi_N, Jul 2026
This was the most memorable experience of my life. I would highly recommend this flight and glacier landing to everyone, regardless of age.
Ginger_L, Jul 2026
This was one in a lifetime...I had know idea we could get that close to Denali. I'm still in awe. Great pilot, explains everything.
Tyler_K, Jul 2026

WONDERFUL experience! Our pilot, Joe, was very skilled at flying his plane! The views were spectacular! We loved walking around the plane and having a snowball fight! God’s beauty was all around us!
Brian_N, Jul 2026
The only day we had available for this happened to bring rain and low clouds all dang day. We are updated constantly with the conditions, continually asked if we wanted to refund, rebook for later in the day, or the next day. We pushed back our reservation multiple times with no hassle to try and catch the sun (it didn't happen). We ultimately had to cancel and get a refund since we didn't have another day.
I was completely happy with the updates and attempts to get us in. That is why I am 5 starring an event that we didn't even get to do. This company rocks and is very much a pleasure to deal with.
Chris_L, Jul 2026
This is a must do if you come to alaska! The Views are amazing and cannot be explained with words. K2 Aviation did a great job and special thanks to our pilot Ben you did an outstanding job has answering our questions handling the plane with perfection. Again I would highly recommend you will not regret it.
Sheryl_Y, Jun 2026
Awesome experience! Riley piloted us through stunning mountain peaks & the landing was perfect! Many thanks to K2 for the beautiful sunshine-y day!
Sue_L, Jun 2026
This is an amazing flight viewing Denali and so many glaciers. Very awe inspiring and our pilot/guide Ben was amazing.
Cindy_S, Jun 2026
The flight was spectacular! We enjoyed it so much! The pilot was very experienced and we felt completely safe with him. Hd have us a wonderful experience!
Carina_B, Jun 2026
This was THE best experience ever! I was in a very small plane with 2 other passengers and had the pleasure to sit next to our pilot.
The views and the information during the flight were incredible! I can highly recommend this and not landing on the glacier was my pick because I‘m a little scared of the height. So this is then a good choice if you still want to explore the Denali and glaciers from the top. Thank you so much!
Julie_G, Jun 2026
This is a must adventure! The views of the mountains, Mt McKinley, glaciers and the base camp cannot be beat! Easy walk from lodge bus drop off in Talkeetna. The staff is super friendly amd informative.
vitida_s, Jun 2026
It was a wonderful flight. Landing on the glaciers was incredible. All the staffs were very nice. The pilot was professional.
Sunil_K, Jun 2026
Snow shoes are provided. It’s not too cold up on the glacier. Dress normal.
We travelled as a party of 6 and had fun enjoying the silence and awe inspiring views on the glacier.
Must see, must do experience for anyone coming to Alaska.
Patricia_S, Jun 2026
Our pilot, Jack, was a wealth of knowledge about Denali and the surrounding mountains. The views were amazing from every angle! The landing and takeoff on the glacier were both smooth. It was great fun playing in the snow in June!
Rajdeep_B, Jun 2026
This was by far the best experience, everyone starting from check-in to our pilot were extremely nice and knowledgeable. Our landing on the glacier was so smooth and views were breathtaking. Thanks so you much!!
Heather_I, Jun 2026
The plane ride was exceptional! We really enjoyed ourselves and saw breathtaking scenery. Our pilot was very nice and knowledgeable about the mountain range and surrounding area. Would absolutely do it again. Only thing I would warn people about is the size of the plane, they are really very tight and someone with bad knees or claustrophobia might not be very comfortable.
Richard_W, May 2026
Absolutely amazing. Small plane was smoother than the big airliners. The views were unbelievable and the landing and take off at the Glacier were flawless. We would do it again.
Georgianna_R, May 2026
Oh my goodness……this experience is AMAZING. Absolutely breathtaking. Best flight seeing tour in Alaska!!
Akshat_P, May 2026
Great experience overall. Pilots are exceptional, smooth ride and breathtaking views. Unfortunately the weather didn't allow us to land, but great otherwise. We were refunded the amount for glacier landing.
tori_s, Mar 2026
