If you do only one thing in AK, put this at the top of the list. QA once in a lifetime "bucket list" item for sure. The landing on Ruth's Glacier was fantastic. The de Havilland Otter was awesome! Our pilot David, was top notch! I can't say enough good things about K-2!

Vicki S

Took the first flight out at 8. Pilot (Riley?) was skilled and very accommodating. It’s cold up there, so layer. The bowl we landed in was stunning!

INCREDIBLE!!! We had booked the summit tour originally but it couldn't go because of clouds. They moved us (with our approval) to a Denali Flyer tour departing at the same time. It was probably one of the most amazing experiences of my life!! Truly breathtaking. Worth every single penny.

Beautifully efficient and satisfying organisation. Please be informed that the reliability of experiencing the glacier landing is not particularly strong; there is plenty of reliance on the weather at bay. Our pilot was advanced in his profession, and ensured that we were well informed of the history of the local environment. The views and atmosphere were remarkable- an excellent experience i would strongly recommend.

The trip was cancelled unfortunally because of the weather. Now we are waiting for the whole refund. They said that it would probably take more than 7 days, maybe 14 days to pay the money back. Ridiculous. It took me 2 minutes to pay you.

Totally worth the money. We are locals and did the trip with a glacier landing. Great customer service all around. Pilot did a great job pointing things out and giving local history. If you can do the glacier landing we highly recommend it.

K2 did a great job. Very big operation but runs like a well-oiled machine. We left on time, had a great trip, and saw amazing views. I had to email them several times in advance and they always responded quickly and clearly. The only thing I wanted was a bit more commentary as we flew but otherwise a perfect flight. I highly recommend !!!

Dorothy, our pilot was amazing and did an amazing job flying us over the mountain. The visibility was good and we had a great view of moose tooth.

leslih27

We have a summer home in Alaska in the Mat-Su valley, and making the drive to Denali is a long trip. This Denali flight seeing tour out of Talkeetna is a good way to see Denali without making the long drive! I would highly recommend this. It was about 2 hours long, beautiful, breathtaking views, good commentary. A must do if you're in Talkeetna!

Highly recommend this tour. We did the glacier landing tour and we were lucky that the weather was very good. Stunning views of the mountains and a great pilot. Awesome!
