Denali National Park Flightseeing Tour from Talkeetna
Talkeetna, United States of America
Journey into the remote Alaskan wilderness on this incredible flightseeing tour of Denali from Talkeetna. Soar high above the granite peaks, glaciers and cascading icefalls of Denali National Park, and admire geological formations such as the Great Gorge of Ruth Glacier, Kahiltna Glacier and the peaks of Mt Hunter and Mt Foraker as you traverse the breathtaking Alaska Range. Choose from three flight itineraries: South Face, Base Camp or the Grand Denali tour, which combines the two. For the ultimate flightseeing experience, upgrade to include a glacier landing!
After pickup from your Talkeetna hotel, you'll be taken to your plane for an incredible flightseeing tour of Denali. Soaring high above Delani National Park and the breathtaking Alaska Range, admire views of majestic granite peaks, cascading icefalls, canyons and glaciers. Throughout your flight, enjoy informative commentary from your expert pilot about the surrounding wildlife and geological interests.
Choose from three flight itineraries:
Southside Explorer
Fly over the lush green wetlands of the northern Boreal forest before entering the Ice Age world of Denali and the Alaska Range. You’ll be awed by the Great Gorge of Ruth Glacier, filled with a 4,000-foot thick (1,220-meter) river of ice. The depth of this glacier combined with the height of the towering cliffs create an abyss that is deeper than the Grand Canyon! In fact, this is one of the deepest gorges in the world. Other highlights include the Don Sheldon amphitheater and intense blue melt-water pools.
Mountain Voyager
A pilot favorite, this flight leads right into the heart of the Alaska Range, with all the same features as the South Face tour as well as the East and West faces of Denali. Highlights include Denali’s massive sister peaks -- Mt Hunter Mt Foraker -- and the major glaciers that blanket the south side of the Alaska Range: Ruth Glacier, Tokositna Glacier, Eldridge Glacier, Kanakula Glacier, Buckskin Glacier, Coffee Glacier and Kahiltna Glacier, the longest in Denali National Park!
You’ll also fly over Base Camp, where daring climbers begin their epic 3-week journey of Denali.
Grand Denali
Can’t decide which flight to choose? Enjoy them both! The Grand Denali tour covers the same routes as both the South Face and Base Camp flights, giving you an unbeatable experience of Denali National Park.
Complete a whole circle around Denali's ridges and faces, and cross over the divide of the Alaska Range, revealing the arctic alpine tundra of the north side of Denali Park’s remote interior. You’ll also see Wickersham Wall, one of world’s greatest continual vertical reliefs.
Upgrade to experience a glacier landing! Land on a glacier at the base of Denali and experience the excitement of standing among Denali's great peaks, whose immense scale will astound you. You’ll be treated to unparalleled photo opportunities here.
This tour is seasonal and only operates from May through September.
This was the most amazing tour I did so far. The route is scenic on a clear day. Check in was simple and our pilot was informative. I would definitely recommend doing this when you visit talkeetna.

This was the best. Can not put into words how wonderful this was. We were scheduled for a tuesday but weather report was_br/_ calling for rain. We were able to stop in the day before and they had a 4:30 opening that day. Very pleasant people to deal with, and the pilot was very informative and did her very best getting us to see everything from both side of the plane. Not a bad seat in the plane. We landed on the glacier and that feeling can't be verbalized. The price of the flight should not be an excuse. This is so worth the .

Best way to see Denali!!!
Review by: Amit S, August 2016
This was an amazing experience. We went on a day when the South Face was not visible due to clouds. However, our pilot took us to a higher elevation and crossed over to the North Side and what views we had...we also landed on the glacier and it is definitely a once in a lifetime experience. This trip was one of the highlights of our 10 day trip to Alaska.

A must do in Alaska! The weather was not in our favor, but our pilot did a wonderful job of really maximizing our experience and giving us spectacular views! The pilot was awesome - really knowledgable of the area and definitely made the tour entertaining. The entire staff was extremely kind and welcoming. One of the highlights of our trip!

This tour was AMAZING. I originally was only going because someone else wanted to go, but am SO glad I did it! Our trip was at capacity 11 people so I got to be co-pilot on the return flight. Chris was such a fantastic guide, making the trip as enjoyable as possible, taking pictures for everyone, and explaining everything that we were seeing. If you're on the fence about this trip because of the price, don't be--it's worth every penny.

Spectacular views from above on this magical ride. It was 3 of us in our family and the pilot and that was all that could fit in this tiny plane. Took me about 15 minutes to adjust to that and feel comfortable enough to enjoy the views and take pictures. Good thing to know before hand.
