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!

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!

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.

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.

Awesome experience! Riley piloted us through stunning mountain peaks & the landing was perfect! Many thanks to K2 for the beautiful sunshine-y day!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
Wendy_S, Sep 2025
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.
Ben_S, Aug 2025
Very informative and a great way to see Denali. Would not be a complete Alaska trip without this activity. Great crew at K2!
Bert_M, Aug 2025
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.
Joyce_Y, Aug 2025
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
Casey_M, Aug 2025
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.
Laura_F, Aug 2025
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.
