Add to My Trip

To see Denali from a distance is a rare and special experience. To see the mountain up close is something entirely different. This plane trip takes visitors on an awe-inspiring flight into the heart of the highest places.

Experience the sheer scale of the area's natural wonders.

Upon takeoff at the tiny Talkeetna Airport, the trees drop away and the vast Alaskan Range quickly comes into view. The landscape changes dramatically over the next 60 miles in route to the big mountains. Spruce forests give way to snow fields, and the lush green of thriving plant life fades into the austere grey of granite peaks. Adapting to the day's conditions, the pilot may navigate a route up Kahiltna or Ruth Glacier, through the sprawling Sheldon Amphitheater, past the 15,000-foot Wickersham Wall, or along the faces of Mt. Foraker, Hunter, and Silverthorne. The colossal presence of Denali hovers over it all.

The unforgettable hour-long trip concludes with a return to the Talkeetna Airport.

The tour operator runs several different types of aircraft, included the Cessna 185 (four passengers), DeHavilland Beaver (six to seven passengers), and DeHavilland Turbine Otter (10 passengers). Passengers on all planes have window seats. Headsets with mics are provided.

What to Bring

Bring a jacket, sunglasses, and camera. Passengers concerned about motion sickness should bring preventatives with them as none are available at the tour operator office.

Special Instructions

Check in 30 minutes prior to flight departure. Accurate passenger weight is required for aircraft weight and balance. The tour operator carefully monitors weather in the mountains and will not fly if conditions are unsafe. If this happens, full refunds are issued for flights cancelled due to weather that cannot be rescheduled.

Transfers & Meeting Points

The tour operator provides complimentary shuttle service to the airport from locations in Talkeetna when arranged in advance. Self-drive guests can park in front of the tour office at the Talkeetna Airport.

Flightseeing

Flightseeing tours.

We hear from our clients daily that the scenic flight from Talkeetna to Denali National Park is the highlight of their Alaska trip, and to some a life changing event. We would like to pass on some sound advice – land on the glacier!

Come Flightseeing with us

Come see why Denali flightseeing tours are continuously rated the #1 tour in Alaska and considered the greatest mountain flight in the world.

Alaska is a land of few roads and air travel is the only way to view the remote regions of Denali Park. Your chances of seeing Denali are greatest by air.

All of our flightseeing tours are spectacular. Feel free to choose the one that best fits your schedule and budget. Embark on one of the great mountain flights that have inspired countless visitors and explorers.

Our flights focus on Denali and the complex geography associated with the colossal uplift of the North American and Pacific plates. The vertical relief associated with tectonic movement has created some of the largest mountains in the world from base to summit.

We offer four different flight tours, each one building upon the other. The longer the flight, the greater the opportunity of seeing the summits of the larger peaks, including Denali.

The greatest advice we can offer is to add a glacier landing to your Denali flightseeing tour. Standing among the great peaks and glaciers offers a perspective that is inspirational and unique.

Why Visit Talkeetna, Alaska?

The small village of Talkeetna, Alaska is nestled at the base of North America’s tallest peak Mt. Denali. Talkeetna has a one-of-a-kind panoramic view of the Alaska Range that can be seen from several places in town, but even better from the canopy zipline course high above the mighty Susitna River Valley.

Discover what this unique community of 700 year-round residents has to offer; frontier hospitality, local arts and crafts, and a ton of activities such as fishing, river boat tours, flightseeing around North America’s tallest peak, and more.

We are close enough to Anchorage for day trips, or better yet, spend a night or two in Talkeetna to really get an authentic taste of Alaska.
