It was a rainy day so... - It was a rainy day so glacier landings were canceled. Still an awesome trip flying in the mountains and over the glaciers. Pilot and aircraft were great.

Great Company - We booked this flight through a tour company. The day we arrived in Talkeetna, our train was late arriving so that the pick up time from K2 was at the same time the train actually pulled into the station. We still had to get off and wait for the hotel shuttle to get everyone on board and to the hotel. We called K2 so that they were aware and they waited for us to arrive. Once we were taken to the facility to get ready for our flight, we were told we would not be able to land on the glacier due to the rain and low clouds. We, along with some other guest were talking to the pilot about what we might be able to see with all the bad weather. He said we might not see much and if we wanted to cancel, we could and we would get a refund. I was shocked that they would allow us to cancel and get a refund, if they were willing to take the plane up. Some of the folks stayed and went up. We chose to get a refund, which happened immediately. I cannot say enough good about this company and their customer friendly policies. Give them a try and I hope for good weather for you.

Outstanding - Even though the weather did not cooperate, Sean did an excellent job of showing us what he could. I will do this again when I come back to Alaska

Visit Denali First Class! - Probably the biggest bang for your buck of things to do in Alaska. We flew around the mountains and then landed on a glacier.

Outstanding experience - We were lucky to have perfect weather, all peaks were visible with a beautiful blue sky. The flight was stunning and the glacier landing memorable. Not to sure what this would be like on grey days, but ours was perfect.

Glacier landing and flying experience - This trip was epic! Dave our pilot was amazing and so professional and knowledgeable. To fly over the Denali and Talkeetna mountains and see Mount McKinley was breathtaking! To land in a glacier and have a snowball fight was surreal! Thank you to Dave and the team for making the bucket list dream come true.

Highlight of Our Alaska Trip! - This tour was the best part of our week in Alaska. Our pilot, Chad, was awesome, and landing near Denali Basecamp was an unforgettable experience. I originally booked the more expensive “Top of the World” tour, which got canceled due to weather, but this one was still incredible. Totally worth the splurge—highly recommend!

Pilots and aircraft are top notch - First of all I’m a private pilot and I have to say the pilots and aircraft are top notch. My wife and I had a great time and was well worth the time and money. Highly recommend.
