A totally unexpected day. Had reservations for the day before, but it was bad weather - they easily put us into a flight the next day, and the weather was crystal clear, sunny, and you could see for miles. Our pilot, guide Chad, was uber fantastic. Told us so much. And the flight itself. You are not circling the mountain or looking from afar - you are flying right beside and up and down the valleys. Remarkable, scary, breathtaking, awesome, and a bunch of other adjectives to describe the trip. And an appreciated fact: sometimes these small planes and tours have very poor PA systems, a mumbled garble when the guide is speaking. Our plane was crystal clear. Wonderful people and event. GO!!

The pilot and ground crew were awesome! Seeing Denali at 10,000 feet from a K2 plane made us speechless! We saw incredible views!

We booked a ride to ring in the new year and it exceeded my expectations seeing Denali from above. We got lucky the weather was clear although windy and we could see the entire area. The pilot was super knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. I definitely want to return in the summer/fall time and try to land on the glacier. Thanks for the fantastic time and opportunity to see Denali in all of its glory.

Pilot was friendly. He pointed out lots of features and explained them. It was exciting to see the peak of Denali, since it's rarely visible from the ground.

My wife and I were on our honeymoon and had originally booked the top of the world tour with glacier landing, however the weather was not great. So we opted to switch and do the chugach tour instead. After driving 3 hours (both ways) and completing the chugach tour, my wife and I were disappointed and felt like we paid way more than what we got. I called the next day and let Barbara (manager) know what our experience was and she was very understanding, easy to talk to and was able to get us on the Denali Experience tour with the glacier landing in addition to only charging us for the glacier landing since we had already paid for the chugach tour. This tour (Denali Experience) was a much better experience for my wife and I and was definitely one of our highlights from our time in AK.

Absolutely amazing!!! We had Chad as our pilot and we had a wonderful flight! He explained everything we were seeing and answered all our questions. Would do this tour over and over!!!

Great company! Weather was cloudy on the day we were scheduled. K2 was excellent in working with us and rescheduling so we could get our flight in before we left. Views were breathtaking and flight was smooth. Would recommend you put this on your bucket list.

INCREDIBLE. We flew around Mount Denali and over the park viewing mountains, glaciers and valleys. It was a beautiful day with scattered clouds. The landing on the glacier was mind blowing. Definite bucket list item. Everyone got a window seat. Views were breath-taking. Highly recommend for families of all ages.

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.
