We loved flying with K2.... - We loved flying with K2. They were super flexible with us and communicated well as the weather changed and gave us lots of options. We ended up doing the 30 minute Bush Plane Adventure Tour and loved it!

Great family outing and so much to see - Great family experience. Weather didn't cooperate with the clouds moving in but our pilot Dorothy made the best of it and flew over the glaciers where possible. Highly recommend K2 Aviation and Dorothy as a pilot.

A memorable birthday! - What an experience- a first for me, and I was scared to death! The pilot was very understanding and did everything to allay my fears. He was very excited to have us ride in the small plane that is one of only 6 in existence! Unfortunately, a gentleman in the group suffers from claustrophobia and couldn’t stay in the plane. The pilot quickly offered to prepare a slightly larger plane for our tour. Very accommodating! The trip is breathtaking and I have some incredible photos which don’t begin to describe the actual view! Well worth the money!

Amazing view!! - We were recommended of the place on the day of the tour, and decided to give it a shot. We get clear sky which gives us extremely beautiful view!! So stunning that it even looks fake or those from magazines. I do carry a professional camera and I was able to get some really amazing pictures. I had some motion sickness but I managed to pull through without feeling too ill afterward. The pilot was really experienced and I felt safe for the whole time. He also gives us some brief introductions of what we are seeing. Overall, incredible experience and amazing for how much we could see in an hour. It is pricey, but honestly given how small the plane is (and we even get our private tour for how empty the winter season is), that is totally understandable. Would definitely recommended!
