Mountains & Glacier Landing - What an experience, to fly between the mountains, learn about the glaciers from the pilot, have Mt Denali pop up in front of you & land on Ruth's Glacier - getting the chance to walk around. If you are able to do this, highly recommended. Easy booking, boots available if you don't have any. Bring camera and sunglasses!

Ever land on a snow packed glacier? - Landing on a glacier with 20 or 30 feet of snow pack, including about 2 feet of new snow, is absolutely amazing! Awe inspiring views and peaceful quiet! We lucked out and had a beautifully bright, sunny day and the views were stunning. We flew through beautiful mountains and saw sights that words cannot describe. Our pilot, Riley, was fantastic! Not only was he a very skilled pilot, but also a great guide with informative information. We were truly impressed with him and his flying skills. For a unique experience you will never forget, we highly recommend K2 Aviation!

Sightseeing from K2 planes can't be missed! - Fly seeing and Pilot (Sean) were excellent! The weather kept us from a glacier landing, but K2 handled rebooking and explanations with tremendous grace. Wonderful experience all around, but if weather permits upgrade to the glacier landing (I did that on a different trip many years ago).

Denali Flyer Beautiful Flight - This flight was the highlight of our Alaska visit. The 6 passenger plane we took up was very stable in flight and afforded us easy viewing out of the windows. And our pilot gladly accommodated our request to see the West Buttress climber basecamp during our Denali Flyer tour. (Shout out to Lindsay here :) ) . With many flight passes around the many glaciers and peaks, we got a much better appreciation for Mt Denali and the beauty of the Alaska Range. We will do this flight again if we ever make it up to Denali again.

Great experience, guide could insert some enthusiasm - Great experience with stunning views! Landing on a glacier was amazing. Our pilot/guide unfortunately was a down of our experience, not sharing much information and treating questions without enthusiasm. I get that this is repetitive for the pilots, but it’s a once in a life time experience for us.

avoid this company - During the flight, the pilot's explanation of the landscape was so unclear that my wife and I couldn't understand anything. We both asked him several times during the flight to speak slowly. Unfortunately, his attention was so focused on a young, attractive passenger that, even after repeated requests to speak slowly, he continued to speak very quickly, indistinctly, using slang and then chewing gum into the microphone. So, we understood nothing during the two-hour flight. In conclusion: anyone who isn't a native American speaker should avoid this company. Whether you, as a European or American, are willing to accept that the pilot, whose attention depends on the lives of several people, devotes his attention throughout the entire flight to a young woman seated behind him on the right – that's up to you to decide for yourself.
