Pilot was friendly. He pointed out lots of features and explained them. It was exciting to see the peak of Denali, since it's rarely visible from the ground.
Talkeetna has skyscrapers of granite and ice instead of steel. Denali, Mt. Hunter and Mt. Foraker tower above the other peaks of the Alaska Range, forming our northern horizon. Cruise up the Kahiltna glacier, right over the climbers’ base camp at 7,200 ft., and wind between these giant peaks catching breathtaking views of Denali above and Denali's most popular climbing route, the West Buttress Route below. • The mighty and stunning Kahiltna Glacier (2 miles wide and 45 miles long) • West Ridge of Mount Hunter • Beginning of the West Buttress Route, the most climbed route on Denali • “The Great One”, Denali (20,320 ft.), Mt. Foraker (17,400 ft.) and Mt. Hunter (14,573 ft.) • Mount Frances formally known as “Bergchen,” German slang for “Little mountain” • The North Buttress of Mount Hunter - a 4,000-foot granite technical showpiece and world class climbing objective

My wife and I were on our honeymoon and had originally booked the top of the world tour with glacier landing, however the weather was not great. So we opted to switch and do the chugach tour instead. After driving 3 hours (both ways) and completing the chugach tour, my wife and I were disappointed and felt like we paid way more than what we got. I called the next day and let Barbara (manager) know what our experience was and she was very understanding, easy to talk to and was able to get us on the Denali Experience tour with the glacier landing in addition to only charging us for the glacier landing since we had already paid for the chugach tour. This tour (Denali Experience) was a much better experience for my wife and I and was definitely one of our highlights from our time in AK.

Great company! Weather was cloudy on the day we were scheduled. K2 was excellent in working with us and rescheduling so we could get our flight in before we left. Views were breathtaking and flight was smooth. Would recommend you put this on your bucket list.

INCREDIBLE. We flew around Mount Denali and over the park viewing mountains, glaciers and valleys. It was a beautiful day with scattered clouds. The landing on the glacier was mind blowing. Definite bucket list item.
Everyone got a window seat. Views were breath-taking. Highly recommend for families of all ages.
