Fabulous day - Awesome experience with great pilot! Dave was very nice and gave us all smooth trip with glacier landing - got to see Denali clear as day along with multiple glaciers and mountains. Landed on a glacier and took photos and spent about 20 minutes just in awe of the surrounding mountains and snow. A once in a lifetime experience!

Highlight of our trip - First, we wanted to change our day and they graciously accommodated us. Second,we took a four seater since we didn't want to land on our excursion. Third, our pilot was the best, we thought. She was full of information, was excellent in pointing things out and answered all of our questions. Lastly, she landed with the smoothest touchdown I have ever experienced. This has been the highlight of our trip. Thank you, K2.

Great views and vibes! - Was a little hesitant at first with the price, but it was so worth it. The views felt unreal and we did get a glacier landing in which was breathtaking. I felt mesmerized the entire time up there just being surrounded by the scenery. Our pilot was down to earth and had some really cool facts to share with us. 10/10 experience and I’d recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Amazing adventure trip experience - It was an experience of a life time … our pilot was superb and the De-Haviland plane was awesome. We were able to snap tons of pictures and get into a snowball fight on top of the glacier ….

Fabulous trip. Great to... - Fabulous trip. Great to get up close and personal to the glaciers. It didn’t matter that the weather changed and we couldn’t land. The pilot was great.

Lifetime experience - Views were spectacular, unique experience with the family. Plane ride was safe, pilot (Sean/Shaun) did an amazing job covering itinerary, narrating along the way and helping with pictures once we landed on the glacier. Very much recommend.

Not so accessible - Had a great experience with my daughter on the glacier landing. Pilot was super friendly. Enjoyed our flight a lot! My husband was suppose to come with us. He is paraplegic. I had called & talked to them multiple times in advance to see if it was possible for him to get in the plane. It seemed like they had a plan although they did tell me there was a chance it wouldn’t work out. When we got there was no real plan on how to get him in so unfortunately he was unable to get in the plane. I was disappointed in that aspect but they did refund us his portion. Other then that it was a great experience!
