Our pilot (I believe his name was Luke) was outstanding — highly skilled and very knowledgeable. He shared fascinating details about the surrounding mountains and the glacier, and he also took the time to answer all of our questions about both the plane and the area.
His flying was impressive, especially the way he maneuvered smoothly through the mountains, which clearly requires great expertise. The landing was soft and comfortable, and the walk on the snowy glacier was absolutely unforgettable.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we truly enjoyed every moment.
The definitive tour of Denali that covers more of the Alaska Range than any other tour available. Follow the river systems of Talkeetna across the Susitna Valley into an incredible landscape of icefalls, glaciers and snowy peaks. Explore deeper into the Alaska range including the Kahiltna Glacier, the longest in Denali National Park, stretching 45 mile with stunning ridges of earth and ice. You will cross over the Alaska Range and witness the arctic alpine tundra of the North side of Denali National Park's remote interior. Add a glacier landing onto your flightseeing tour for an experience of a lifetime (this adds 30 minutes to your trip time).

Absolutely wonderful trip! We got rained out, and the team were able to work with us to reschedule on our itinerary. The weather on our second attempt was unbeatable. Our pilot was very experienced and even made his own audio narration about the flight. The accessibility for my mother was amazing - plane was very easy for her to get in and out of, even on the glacier. We would definitely recommend to anyone and go again ourselves!

Brilliant experience viewing Denali up close and landing on the glacier. Michael was an excellent pilot. This is his part time role, he is a 737 pilot in his main job
Quick tip request the co-pilot seat if you want a great view
