This flight was an AMAZING way to experience Denali National Park, especially in the winter! Our pilot was incredible and was able to give great commentary the entire time! Beautiful views all around! Highly recommend!!

We did not get to go bc of weather but they still get 5 stars bc of honesty, helpfulness, and willingness to reschedule if it cleared up.

Excellent! We didn’t see Denali but the blue sky patches and some sunlight lit up the rocks, mountainside and glaciers so beautifully. Our pilot, Lyndsey did a wonderful job giving us all incredible views and interesting information.

Very informative and a great way to see Denali. Would not be a complete Alaska trip without this activity. Great crew at K2!

professional and safe, not every day you get to land an airplane on. Glacier.
I will recommend this adventure to all my friends

Our Denali tour with glacier landing was changed to a different tour due to bad weather conditions around Denali. No glacier landing and we flew south instead. We were very bummed since the glacier landing was what we were most excited for. But the views on the tour we took were awesome, we saw lots of glaciers. Even saw some Dall sheep on the mountain sides. Matt was our pilot and was great The only negative thing I have to share is the woman at the checkin desk said the plane is heated and if we wanted to keep some of our warmer coats and such there at the office (since we weren't doing the glacier landing/walk) we could. We did and we regret that. The plane was not heated, it was extremely cold, at one point I could see my breath it was that cold. I would recommend this tour or any of their other tours just take along a warmer jacket and maybe even some gloves.

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.

Awesome tour. We opted not to wear the shoe coverings provided and although we did fine without them, they were a good option we did not take advantage of

It was a beautiful, clear day and the experience was better than I expected. If in doubt, do it. You will be glad you did.
Eva_B, Aug 2025
We all wore headphones so we could hear the pilot talk about the area around Denali. WE HAD A BEAUTIFUL DAY.

Excellent ! We saw Denali! Our pilot gave us a once in a life time experience. Loved every minute of it !
Alejandro_P, Aug 2025
It was amazing! Definitely recommend! The pilot was very good! The experience was something else. We had a cool plane with a cool story. The landing on the glacier was epic too!
Timothy_A, Aug 2025
Great flight! Awesome experience. Need a little better organization at check in. Just told to stay on the area. Pilot has to round up their passengers. Seems like a cat herding.
Dale_P, Jul 2025
Denali is otherworldly. A great trip made better by a stop on Ruth glacier. Spectacular views and a steady pilot.

Awesome experience with great pilot! Dave was very nice and gave us all smooth trip with glacier landing - got to see Denali clear as day along with multiple glaciers and mountains. Landed on a glacier and took photos and spent about 20 minutes just in awe of the surrounding mountains and snow. A once in a lifetime experience!
Sony_P, Jul 2025
It was awesome. Flight was smooth, views were magical. Landing was safe and smooth. We got to spend time on the Glacier itself.
Krista_W, Jul 2025
Absolutely fabulous! This is a first rate operation, felt very safe with our pilot. Flying so close to the mountains and landing on a glacier is truly a one of a kind experience
Katherine_H, Jul 2025
This was an awesome experience. It was the highlight of our Alaska trip.
The pilot gave us info on everything we were seeing.
A must do!
Ehud_P, Jul 2025
It was an experience of a life time … our pilot was superb and the De-Haviland plane was awesome.
We were able to snap tons of pictures and get into a snowball fight on top of the glacier ….
damien_j, Jul 2025
Fabulous trip. Great to get up close and personal to the glaciers. It didn’t matter that the weather changed and we couldn’t land. The pilot was great.
Niladri_R, Jul 2025
Very friendly and always ready to answer to any queries. My kid liked the tour very much. The pilot was super and given all the possible experiences while on plane.
Austin_W, Jul 2025
Joe the pilot had very smooth landings and the entire experience was unforgettable. Highly recommend to anyone
DanTong_J, Jul 2025
What a wonderful experience! We chose the fly around Denali from Talkeetna without the landing and it was incredible. The views of the majestic Denali mountain with later of clouds infront of it was unmatched, and still being able to get close and see all the glacial ice fields do sharp peaks, a truly unique and spectacular experience. Our female pilot was also so nice, answering all of our questions about the Alaskan landscape and making sure some of our other passengers who were a bit motion sick. Highly recommend this unbeatable experience!

It's incredible! The best possible way to see Denali & surrounding peaks, glaciers & valleys. Great experience.
Dena_M, Jun 2025
The pilot was very friendly but also professional. Views were spectacular. Grandson got to ride in the copilot seat! He got some amazing video. De

10/10. Got lucky and it was such a clear day! I’m a nervous flyer and I felt safe, which made it so much more fun.
