Great experience! - Went with my family yesterday, this was a really great experience! Our pilot was really kind and answered all our questions about the Alaskan landscape, culture, etc. When we landed we got to meet the family that runs the Caribou Lodge and hikes and they were super kind and great company! My only wish was that they sold their homemade bread, I would’ve bought a loaf to bring home! Definitely a great experience and would love to stay there overnight next time.

You can not get a better view of Denali! - We did the float plane with remote lake landing with pilot Jason. It was AMAZING! We had perfect weather in the 4th of July. The sun and Denali were out in full view. We got amazing pics! Our son couldn't join us as originally planned so they very graciously worked with us to reschedule a time. And they even gave us a contingency date if the weather wasn't going to cooperate the 1st try. But we had perfect weather and a smooth flight. Small bumps but that is to be expected when you are flying through mountain peaks. I was surprised that I was not cold in the aircraft. I brought a jacket but never needed it. Very comfortable. I crossed off a bucket list activity. Thanks Jason!

Absolutely Beautiful - What a memorable experience. It just happened to be a beautiful clear day. We were able to see the entire mountain! Our pilot took us on the best flight tour around the mountain and shared knowledgeable information about it. The flight was smooth and beautiful.

Danali float plane tour - We could see the entire mountain, which I understand is pretty rare. The view from the plane was the highlight of our trip.

Awesome Hike but NOT at Denali National Park - This is a bit of a mixed experience for us. The floatplane ride to Caribou lodge was wonderful - the guided hike from Caribou Lodge at Boomerang Lake was really awesome - Zack showed us amazing tundra plant life - his family at Caribou lodge opened our eyes with their lifestyle and their hospitality. So full points to them for our delightful hiking experience. But due to cloudy conditions the flight service to view Denali National Park from the air was canceled (the float plane service reimbursed us very promptly for the missed portion of the trip). Here's my issue - the blurb states "Experience Denali National Park from the air and at ground level" The clouds made us miss the "from the air portion" and we accept with gratitude what Mother Nature grants us, but there was *never* a chance of experiencing Denali NP "at ground level." So by following this ad, we missed out on visiting Denali National Park on a once in a lifetime trip to Alaska, and that was disappointing indeed. The ad needs to be clear that there is NEVER a chance to experience Denali National Park *at ground level* with this service. If the weather permits, you see DNP from the air, but you never get to DNP at ground level, no matter what.
