Professional, clean, safe and totally classy! Walk in and you know it's a quality business. They will explain all the options, take your weight and get you on the right flight. The pilots are all knowledgeable and qualified. The flight time was much longer than expected, the landing was unbelievable- how amazing we LANDED on a glacier and took off again! I flew with KYLE and he was so patient and answered everyone's questions. He knew all the peaks and glaciers by name. It is 100% worth the price and absolutely THE THING TO DO since you're coming to the interior to see Denali! Lots of restrooms, glacier boots to keep your feet dry and plenty of room in the plane! read more

The Denali Grand tour was amazing. All staff were polite and friendly. They had to cancel our flight due to weather but we were booked on the next flight for the following day. My best friend/(soul sister) and my Godson came up from Wyoming and we had the best time. The pilot was phenomenal! We landed on a glacier and took some incredible photos. My Godson even sat copilot. And experience he said he would always treasure. Highly recommended. read more

WOW!! What an amazing Flight from Talkeetna, to the Glaciers. We were 7 adults, juggling with an infant. So we split the booking to 4 persons early and 3 person later. K2 were very accommodating. From Check-In/Check Out, the Staff were super friendly, they explained everything, and had very clean bathrooms. We booked the flight DENALI GRAND WITH GLACIER LANDING "The Great One" and WOW it was worth it. Reed was one of the pilots and was the best. This was a big splurge for 7 tickets, but definitely worth it. Thank you K2 Aviation for the memories to last a lift time, you're the Best. read more

Trip of a lifetime! K2 provided an incredible adventure! Check in. Flight prep, being in the mountains, landing on Ruth glacier- everything was 10/10! Well the actual flight will be a lifelong amazing memory! read more

Flight was canceled-2 days in a row - boo . Left with 4 hours to kill in very small town,with nothing open- they were gracious enough to let us use their very comfortable lobby. Fireplace, water soda, Wi-Fi & charging stations. Would of been quite a flight experience- weatherman didn't cooperate read more

Awesome flight services! We took the glacier landing, 2 hour flight tour. Our pilot, Dave, was awesome. He explained a lot and landed us so gently. The sights were beautiful, and the trip was the highlight of our Alaska trip. The trip was a little pricey but totally worth the $$. Once in a lifetime excursion for sure. Check it out. read more

Probably the most awe inspiring thing I've ever done in my life! Our pilot, Chad, was an expert and it was a smoother take-off and landing than commercial flights. The staff inside worked hard to get us the most optimal time to go and worked with us. These pics and this video will tell it all. It is WORTH IT. Money well spent! This is LIFE! read more

We flew K2 on the glacier experience. The weather tried not to cooperate it our pilot was up to the task! Many planes took off but only four were able to land on our particular glacier. Wow! What an experience. I would highly recommend this for anyone who may want to experience if the coolest things one could possibly do. I've done a lot of things and this was at the top of my all-time best things I've done. read more

We had the most amazing day with K2 Aviation. We planned a 1 week round trip road trip from Anchorage and this flight seeing tour was on my must do list. We were a group of 6 but only 2 of us took the flight. It was gorgeous day, Dorothy (our pilot) was fabulous and engaging. I chose the flight with the glacier landing. The views were phenominal and although my husband was reluctant because of the cost, it was by far his favorite adventure in our 3 weeks in Alaska. I highly recommend you check them out if you are going to be in the area, or book your trip around a stop in Talkeetna. It's a cool little town with a lot to do. While we were in the air others in our party rented ebiked and toured the town. read more

Make sure and reserve your trip to K2 if you're traveling to Alaska. My husband and I looked up a few places and got the best rating and pricing from what we could tell; best of both worlds! We flew with a glacier landing and could not have been happier. I was so nervous to fly but our pilot made us feel the most at ease. He even got some of the best pictures of my husband and I! The views, knowledge about the area and pilot experience by far exceeded our expectations for a smooth flight. We highly recommend them for their professionalism and friendly combination because we are dealing with the FAA after all. read more

Excellent experience. We took a flight from their base in Talkeetna to Denali and landed on a glacier on the mountain. Our pilot/guide was excellent. The flight was amazing: up close to the mountain with the pilot explaining what we were looking at. The glacier landing was also very cool. Spent some time on the glacier and then lifted off to head back. The time spent was just perfect and the cost was reasonable for the level of the experience. Highly recommend! read more

This experience was unreal. And it was 100% worth the money. We had been hearing about doing some sort of helicopter or flight of some around the mountain when we saw the weather was going to be as good as it is we booked it! We were really hoping to get the land on a glacier experience but it was sold out. You arrive a little before and check it and they weight you and then the pilots map it out. You then wait for your name to be called and head out with your pilot. The view we had were stunning and unlike anything I have ever seen. Tom our pilot was great at pointing things out and making sure both sides of the plane got the same views. The trip was around 1 hour and maybe 20 mins. And they provided headsets so you could all talk. I cannot recommend this enough and also recommend watching the weather if possible to find the best time to make sure the weather is in your favor. read more

Unbelievable experience! The staff has this all figured out for efficiency, fun, safety and all around incredible experience. Ian was our pilot and he was not only an exceptional aviator, but a great tour guide as well. I highly recommend this excursion while visiting Talkeetna! We were not able to land on the glacier due to weather but it was still well worth it! read more

Our trip was absolutely amazing! We were scheduled for Denali Experience with Glacier Landing. Due to the unpredictable weather we were unable to land on the glacier however we opted for the sightseeing experience anyway. I am so thankful we did. The experience was phenomenal. Our pilot was informative. The flight was smooth including the takeoff and landing. This is a once in a lifetime experience and highly recommended. read more

Chad was an incredible pilot and our experience was one of the top experiences of what I've done so far.

If you're not climbing Denali, this is the next best option!!! We had a rental car and drove out to the airport. It's located right outside downtown Talkeetna so be sure to save some time to stop in town. At first I was a bit frightened of the tiny little aircraft, but the pilot/guide was amazing. Points out all of the safety features and quickly gets you off the ground. You've got about 1 hour and 15 mins up in the air to see the surrounding area. Our guide pointed out all the rivers, mountains, glaciers, etc. You get up close and personal with Denali and can even make out where the trails to climb would be. We took flight in March so there were no climbers or any other planes in the area. Truly majestic to be out above the mountains with nobody around. Think it was just $220 or so for the flight. Was great value and I highly recommend the adventure. read more

Overall an amazing experience that was enhanced with great customer service! We booked the Grand Denali flight with a Glacier Landing, but through a miscommunication somewhere the pilot took us on a shorter route with the glacier landing. Upon landing I went into the office to see about a refund for the difference in price, but they approached us first having realized the mistake and offered us a refund for the difference or better yet to hop back on the plane and they would fly us on the Grand Denali tour without the landing this time, and they even offered the 2nd trip to the couple that only paid for the shorter trip, I was impressed, so back on the plane to complete our trip around Denali! Our pilot Riley was fantastic and fun to talk with! read more

I went really excited for this adventure and left pretty let down. First, not the company's fault but they weren't doing trips to Denali because of weather so they were offering trips, for the same price, to the Talkeetna mountains instead. They had video footage playing of what we were going to see and it still looked pretty cool so we went anyways. We were told we would still see glaciers and that the terrain was interesting. We saw one glacier for a few seconds but most of the flight we were flying over dead forests. Apparently a beetle took down most of the spruce trees in this area. Very depressing views actually. When we started to see cool stuff the pilot took a turn because he said there were winds that way and he didn't want to get us sick. I was up for the adventure but instead just saw more dead trees. The lady sitting next to me slept through 90% of the flight. The plane itself was a lot bigger than I expected and it was a very smooth flight. Was hoping for more of that small prop plane feel to get the adrenaline going but it was honestly pretty boring. It wasn't a request a refund bad but it wasn't anything I'd recommend doing. I guess my advice would be if they aren't running trips to Denali, then cancel or reschedule. read more

I have no idea how to describe this experience besides simply sublime. They have these helicopter trips to the top of Denali (previously known as Mount McKinley). The trips can last a couple of hours and are simply breath taking. They have a small plane with 8-10 passengers. You get about an 45 min trip to Denali. It's nice way to see Alaska from the air. Once you're closer to the mountains, they make several circles over all the nearby mountains. make sure you remember to bring your camera! The tour ends with an amazing landing on top of the glaciers. YES, you get 15-20 on top of the glacier. It is simply stunning pictures to say the least. The only downside is that it is extremely pricey. Be prepared to shell out a pretty penny. However, it is definitely a once in a lifetime experience. I would recommend it in a heart beat. read more

This was one of the coolest experiences of my life. My family and I did this while in Talkeetna and haven't stopped talking about it. Joe, our pilot, was a really great guy and made us all feel very comfortable about flying in a small plane. We were so fortunate to have a clear day and got up real close to Denali. I highly recommend this place for flightseeing. read more

What can you say about an airplane flight around Denali? It was actually better than we expected. And, I had pretty high expectations. Absolutely spectacular views of Denali and the surrounding mountains and glaciers. The pilot did a good job pointing out landmarks and things like the climbers base camp. The weather cooperated so we had minimal bumps in the air, which was a good thing since the airplane seats lack padding and support. Small price to pay for such a great experience. Pricey, but well worth it. read more

In a word, WOW! I highly recommend K2 Aviation for a glacier flight seeing tour. Be sure to book a glacier landing, very much worth the extra. Everyone was super friendly, they have the process perfected from making reservations over the phone, to check in, to safety briefing, to the flight. I had Jack as my pilot and he was a lot of fun. You can tell he loves his job and takes pride in doing it well. My landings (both the glacier and the runway) were smoother than most big jet landings. I'm so glad I had the nudge to go on this adventure because it was worth every single penny!! I recommend everyone do this, whether you live in Alaska or are visiting. read more

We had a great experience flying with K2. Dorothy was our pilot and she did a great job explaining all we saw on our trip. She was very personalble and professional. It was a family vaction so 7 of us flew with her. Beautiful sights and a great flight. We aged in range from 10 to 74. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see Alaska from in, through and above the clouds. We saw part of Denali the day we flew. The company K2 has quite a few planes and is well organized. Safety is their main concern and you will feel very comfortable in their confident hands. read more

Went to Anchorage recently specifically to see Mt. Denali. Found this business who flies people over it and will land you on the mountain itself if the weather conditions are right. Unfortunately, on the day we went we weren't able to land, but the flight itself is completely worth it. Plus, they gave us credit back for the extra we paid to land. Our pilot was very professional and very informative. What's more often if what he was talking about was on one side of the plane, he would circle around so that the other side of the plane's passenger could see it as well. Fantastic view and experience. Highly recommend it! read more

Breath Taking!!! Absolutely Amazing!!! Wife and I came up to Alaska for our 5th Anniversary, and during our stay we came to Talkeetna for our flight sightseeing.

In our group I believe there were 8 people but never seemed cramped. read more

This ended up being the highlight of our trip to Alaska in June. First, we arrived a bit yearly and their offices and facilities are very clean and nice. The staff was friendly and informative. As we waiting for our pilot, we enjoyed watching the planes come in and out. I was a bit nervous doing this since I knew it would be a small plane. I was pleasantly surprised how large the nice the plane was. Our pilot was excellent and provided a wonderful commentary throughout the flight. I did not add pictures here since there are so many added by previous review. YES you will not be able to put your phone/camera down. It is breathtakingly beautiful. And make sure you include the Glacier landing. it was just a life experience I am so glad we did. I will add one caveat that we got very fortunate with the weather. Mother nature was good to us and we are considered the 5% club where we saw all three peaks of Denali! read more

Once in a lifetime experience! Worth the price of admission. The trip was a little less than 2 hours, we flew around the mountains so both side of the plane got good pictures.

K2 Aviation - Best view of Denali - Tours Near Me - Talkeetna, Alaska

We were traveling in Alaska for about 1.5 weeks in September of 2011. We knew that we would have to be flexible with the weather but we were hopeful things would work out. At the start of the trip we had to cancel some water events on the coast due to rain and wind. We had a chance to visit the Denali state park and had a great time on the Tundra Wilderness Tour. We had not gotten a view of Mt. McKinley but also understood that only 30% of people get to see the mountain so we enjoyed our visit in the park and the animals that got to see. Heading south to Talkeetna we were amazed to see the clouds clear up and Mount McKinley finally show. We had a flight schedule with K2 Aviation the next morning but we knew that by then it might be back in the clouds. We gave K2 Aviation a call and they were very helpful in letting us move our trip time. They came to pick us up at the hotel and we found that four others were also scheduled for next day and moved their time. As we now had a total of seven people going they sent us up in a twin prop plane. The plane was in great shape and comfortable. We took off and had the just the best flight. The pilot gave us some great narrative on the mountain and what we were seeing. The air was so smooth and the plan really quick. We were at the mountain within 15 minutes and flew around the mountain for at least 35 minutes. No matter which way you looked it was just amazing. I consider this one of the best events of the trip. If you are in the area and the weather breaks you really need to look K2 Aviation up and take a flight with them. The memories will last a lifetime. read more

Wow! What an amazing experience this was. My two friends and I decided to book this flight tour (based on reviews here) during our after-season trip to Alaska. We assumed it would be cool, but it exceeded our expectations. Our pilot, Ryan, was knowledgable and friendly, and the plane was a cool Vietnam era craft (called an Otter, I think). The weather for our tour was out of this world--totally clear sky and no clouds to be seen. They told us it was the best flying day they had seen in months! Getting to see Denali and the other peaks up close was breathtaking, and Ryan told us a lot of history and answered all of our questions expertly. Denali was obviously the main attraction, but there were a lot of other beautiful peaks in the range, as well as some glaciers. It was fun to loop through the peaks and see so much. I'm sure the tour would still have been great even if the weather wasn't so good, so I highly recommend this tour. Definitely book in advance. Also, volunteer for the copilot seat if they ask! read more

We had an amazing time - our pilot was informative - told us about the Denali mountain and ranges as we flew by. Saw wonderful views of mountain tops and glaciers. This was one of the highlights of our trip. The plane we went in was the Navajo piper chieftan plane - in all we were six passengers and the pilot who flew it. This was one of the highlights of our trip. Weather also turned out to be great so the views were very clear. Highly recommend it. read more
