Unbelieveable beauty! - The whole trip was breath taking. The pilot was friendly, relaxed, very skilled and knowledgeable. Landing on the glacier and experiencing the beauty and massiveness of it all was fantastic!

Landing on the glacier.... - Landing on the glacier. Our young aviation enthusiast sat in the copilot seat. Expensive, but worth it. Have your group sit on both sides of the plane so you get photos from both sides. Two flights cancelled which cost us vacation days and return trip to Talkeetna.

An amazing experience! - An amazing experience flying through the mountains, getting to see the glaciers up close. The plane just had 6 passengers and the pilot who was very informative. The flight was very smooth-lasted just over an hour. Able to walk into Talkeetna afterwards and explore.

A Flight to Remember! - What a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Dave, our pilot, was very friendly and knowledgeable and did a great job flying the plane and landing on a glacier. The views from the plane were phenomenal and the glacier landing was so cool!! We even got to see a little of Denali peeking through the clouds! I would highly recommend this tour!

Put this on your bucket list - This was the once-in-a-lifetime trip for my wife and son to see Mt. McKinley/Denali and we had an AWESOME time. The pilot, Pat A., had over 17,000 flight hours and made sure we were well aware of what to expect and what maneuvers were ahead. He was also well-read in the geology of Denali Park and the glacial formations. The weather was clear and calm (one day out of 366) and we were able to get close to the mountain face. To top it off, K2 gave me a NICE military discount. Thanks for an unforgettable experience!

Booking.com Poor Customer Service - DO NOT buy plane tickets through Booking.com!!! Unless you want to spend your vacation calling customer service, never get your flight fixed and spend double the amount you paid for a round trip to be able to return home. One of the airlines changed their flight, which caused missing the second leg of the trip. When speaking to the airline, they said if Booking.com calls us, we will replace the short leg of the trip with another airline and you can get on the connecting flight on time. What did Booking.com do? Offer a flight that hops around 3 countries to get to the destination, making the trip "a taste" of European airports and causing us to shorten our vacation and leave 1 day earlier. They also wanted to cancel the flight, which by then, the prices of tickets doubled and tripled. Never called the airline and blamed it on them - they were the one who canceled the flight. The flight was never canceled, it was moved to an earlier time and there's an alternative. I contacted Booking.com VIPs, a guy replied and promised to fix everything. Don't believe that! Nothing's fixed and no one is communicating. Go straight to the airline, even though it is a little m ore expensive - you will save tons in the long run!
