We had a great pilot who shared what all we were looking at, and got us so close to Denali! Beautiful day, great memories

Wonderful experience. Friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff. Made sure everyone got great views Highly recommend!

We thought seeing The Matterhorn in Switzerland could not be topped, this blew us away. It was awe inspiring. The view was amazing of course, our pilot told us to close our eyes just before we were to see the Peak. When he told us to open our eyes we had the most perfect view of the highest point in North America, and we were there. This was our 11 trip to Alaska and our 5th Denali Visit. But by far the most inspiring and amazing trip ever. I will recommend Denali Air to all my Friends and FaceBook Travel Friends. Thank you for the best ending to our visit to Alaska.

This was fabulous. A bit bumpy, but the pilot warned us of that. We could not see Denali peak but we got as close to the glaciers as you can without walking on them. Well worth the money, and would do it again in a minute! Pilot was great- 77 years old and has alot of experience!

Great trip flying around Denali! We had over an hour of flight time and our pilot Dan gave us great commentary on the history and geography of the park. He tried hard to give us a view of both peaks and his efforts paid off. Loved it!

Charles_S

The experience ran on time and the staff were all very polite. The flight was amazing with views so close to the peaks and glaciers. The pilot was very informative while flying all around the peaks. A flight to remember.

Despite the rough ride. Listen fo Jackknife talk about life in the Arctic was worth it he was so knowledgeable and hospitable.

We were incredibly wowed! We had wonderful views of Denali and the pilot was skilled and informative. We were so close to the mountain. We felt like we could reach out and touch it!

KellyBlaeserBonner

This was an absolute highlight of our Alaskan trip. The magnitude and majesty of the mountain is beyond words!!! Our pilot was so awesome and knowledgeable. I felt very safe and he provided up close views and information on all aspects of the mountain and surrounding mountains/glaciers! Highly highly recommended.

Seeing Denali up close was breathtaking - the beauty of it made me cry! This was my first time in a small plane, and I was a nervous. That nervousness was replaced by the beauty of the mountain. It was truly the highlight of my trip to Alaska and I am so glad I went. The pilot was excellent and I told him he made me cry and I would have gone up again immediately to experience it again.
