  • Unforgettable Denali Flightseeing Experience

    I had an absolutely outstanding experience with this Denali flightseeing tour and cannot recommend it highly enough. I called the company the morning of my flight and they were very upfront about the weather conditions, explaining that winds might affect whether they could fly. They told me they would make the call closer to the 1:30 PM departure time, which I really appreciated. Around noon they called to let me know the flight was on. They also gave me the option to postpone since I had an extra couple of days in the area and could have potentially rescheduled, but they were honest that there was no guarantee conditions would be better. I decided to go for it, and I am very glad I did. The location was incredibly convenient, just a short three minute drive from my Airbnb. From the moment I arrived, the staff were welcoming, friendly, and professional. There were a few other passengers joining, and we flew in a larger turboprop aircraft that can carry around 10 or 11 people, which felt very comfortable. Before departure, the captain came out to introduce himself, gave a clear safety briefing, and answered questions. They were also happy to take photos by the plane for anyone who wanted, which was a really nice touch. When the pilot asked if anyone wanted to sit in the copilot seat, I volunteered, which made the experience even more memorable. Once airborne, the flight lasted somewhere between about an hour and fifteen minutes to an hour and a half. Turbulence was minimal and never uncomfortable. The views were truly unbelievable. We flew very close to mountain ridges, massive granite walls, glaciers, and dramatic terrain that you simply cannot appreciate from the ground. The pilot was extremely knowledgeable and explained the geography, glaciers, and features along the way in a clear and engaging way. You could tell he knew the area intimately and genuinely enjoyed sharing it. We returned around 3 PM, and from start to finish the experience was seamless, professional, and unforgettable. The views were out of this world, and the entire team was exceptionally friendly and kind. This was easily one of the highlights of my Alaska trip, and I would very highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area.

    If I could give more stars I would. I was so afraid of flying before this that I just grin and bear all flights as they are a necessity. However. Under the care of this team I was moved to tears by the flight. Chad and his crew really looked after us as did the ground crew. It was well worth the drive from Anchorage and the drive back. Highly recommended **********

    While I was anxious about participating alone, I was lucky to have two people on board. Unfortunately, the Denali summit was a bit gassy, but we had a great experience with the flight tour as scheduled on the pre-booked date and time. During this period (mid-September to mid-May), the rail system was irregular, making it somewhat of a hurdle for the only way to get from Anchorage to the area to be by taxi or rental car.

  • A++ Experience and Customer Service

    Awesome experience! Incredible views, including Mt. McKinley (Denali). In addition, the customer service we received was amazing. At the time of booking, it was suggested that we schedule this as our first adventure in Talkeetna so as to allow time for rebooking in the event it became necessary. Upon arrival in Talkeetna on a cloudy, rainy day, we immediately called K2 Aviation to inquire about our afternoon flight. Although a decision would not be made until a half hour later, they offered to send a shuttle to pick us up at the train depot and take us to where we would be staying overnight. The driver helped us with our luggage and called to get the final determination regarding our flight. Although it was canceled, he told us that he would go back to the office and work to get us rebooked. He called soon thereafter and gave us options for the following day. After taking the 11 am option, he told us that he would pick us up at 10:15 the next morning, that we could stow our luggage in the van during our flight, and that we would then be shuttled back to the train depot. A favorite Alaska experience with superb customer service!

    We were blessed with excellent weather on our first attempt to take this trip. The office staff and the pilot were also friendly and knowledgeable. The views were great… Almost foreign to anything I’ve ever experienced. Don’t come to Alaska without doing this

    The morning of our flight we were informed that they weren’t flying north or landing on the glacier. They offered an alternative plan to fly south or get a refund. We took the refund and drove north to Denali where we booked a flight that flew right by three sides of the mountain(within 1/2 mile away). Weather was clear and beautiful on the north side as opposed to cloudy and overcast to the south.

  • Still get 5 stars!

    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.

    From the moment we checked in with Erni and the warm, professional staff on the ground to the time we took off with pilot Jack, K2 Aviation delivered an unforgettable experience. The flight through the Alaska Range was breathtaking. Flying thru rugged peaks, endless glaciers, and a landing on the ice that felt like stepping into another world. What really stood out, though, was the care and hospitality of the entire team. We weren’t treated like passengers, instead we were treated like welcomed guests sharing in something truly special. This was more than just a flight, it was a meaningful journey. K2 Aviation embodies the very best of Alaskan adventure and spirit. If you’re considering a flightseeing trip, trust me, this is the one to choose.
