THIS EXPERIENCE WAS WONDERFUL. We arrived and were informed that the cloud ceiling was at about 9000 ft we asked if we would be able to see the glaciers and we were told yes but not quite as good as on a clear day. they asked if we wanted to change our plans we couldn't and decided to go. IT WAS FABULOUS. THE PILOT WAS AWESOME . WE WOULD DO THIS AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT. Landing on a glacier beneath Denali what a rush. Thank you so much for this experience.

It was awesome! We were lucky and had a good window where we flew to Denali. The views were spectacular! Liam, our pilot, was very informative and a great pilot!
They were so friendly, organized, and let me just say! I live in Alaska and have done a lot of cool things. These views were some of the most surreal and crazy views I've seen here. You really get up in there.
Make sure your party sits on both sides of the plane so you all get to see the pictures. Those seated on the right side had better views. You don’t realize how big Denali is till you see from the air.
It was absolutely WONDERFUL! Beautiful views of Denali and all the mountains! One of my favorite highlights of my Alaskan adventure!
My husband was nerves at first but enjoyed it. We all had great time not bumpy I you would this again.
Don’t miss out!
Absolutely the best part of our trip to Alaska. The pilot took us up close to Denali. Make sure you reserve the package with the glacier landing. The extra money is well worth it. This outfit is first class and highly recommended.
Viator over sold this flightseeing trip. Go directly through Talkeetna Air Taxi and book one of their longer flights… this is the shortest flight time and lowest elevation flight and does not include a glacier landing even though the description states that you could purchase an upgrade to do so. After I booked the flight there was no upgrade available. The folks at Talkeetna Air Taxi were wonderful and they informed me that they are not responsible for the Viator advertisement. Viator should make it clear that the “Southern” route is the shortest flight offered and that unless you purchase a flight that specifically includes landing on a glacier, there is no availability for an upgrade.
Our pilot was very informative and we learned many new things about the glaciers and history of the area.
Skilled pilot, gorgeous views, felt very safe! From the front desk personnel to the pilot, very courteous and knowledgeable! Would highly recommend!
Absolutely amazing. I got really lucky and was upgraded to the flight with the stop on the glacier, and I am so glad I did. It was breathtaking. If you’re debating taking this one or upgrading to the one with the stop on the glacier... trust me it is well worth the upgrade!!!!!
