Incredible experience! There's nothing else that can compare to seeing this landscape from the air. Truly awe inspiring. If you only do one thing when you visit Alaska- do this!! Everyone gets a window seat, which I think is great, and our pilot Daniel explained a lot of interesting things about the geography, climbing history, and what we were seeing. He also did turns specifically to make sure that both sides of the plane had good views of things. All seats are good views! He also offered to take pictures for people once we landed at base camp. Everyone has a headset so it's easy to hear why the pilot is saying, and the cabin is heated (though it can still be chilly). The flights and views are weather dependent, but the staff does its best to keep people informed of the weather conditions and their top priority is to keep everyone safe (Of course, they can't control the weather and sometimes have to cancel flights, but safety is #1). The weather can be tricky but the pilots and rest of the team are experienced. We had some clouds in the area and the pilot explained some of how he was deciding where to fly and why based on that. There is a souvenir shop with sweatshirts and hats and stickers, and fantastic new restrooms with a water bottle station. Probably the best bathrooms in town!

It was a bit of a drive to get here from Anchorage (where we were staying) but it was worth it! Seeing the glaciers that have been there for millions of years and to even land on one and take it all in is amazing! Our pilot was very good at pointing out what we were looking at and even takes photos of you with your phone when you land on the glacier! Although we booked the Denali experience, we were not able to go around it as the clouds were very thick, so we landed on a different glacier. And while this was a big disappointment, the company gave everyone a partial refund because of this and it was put in before we even got back to the airfield!!!! Great company...

The flight around Denali and the glacier landing were the highlight of our Alaska vacation. The pilot gave great explanations about what we were seeing, and made a point of turning the plane so that passengers on both sides could have great views. This up close look and immersive experience really helped us appreciate the majesty of Denali and its sorrowing mountains.
