Fly with the original flightseeing company in denali for a thrilling and inspiring flight around the highest point in north america..

Of all the flight tours in Alaska, this one provides the best and most comprehensive views of Denali (formerly Mt. McKinley). Each flight path is unique on these Denali tours. Weather permitting, each tour will take you on a stunning 200-mile flight up to, around, and within 1/2 miles of Denali.  Our clients often recall, “I felt like I could reach out and touch it!”  From takeoff to landing, the breathtaking views will have you on the edge of your seat.

Our company has been operating flightseeing tours to Denali for more than 40 years.  Highly experienced pilots, averaging over 10,000 hours in flight time will use their skills and knowledge to guide you to the best views in Denali.  Aircraft depart from a private airstrip in the middle of the Alaska Range – NOT Talkeetna, and NOT Healy. This special departure point allows for easy access to both sides of the range, as flights can meander back and forth along the spine to allow for better visibility. All seats are window seats on a twin-engine, Piper Navajo and Chieftain aircraft that seat six and eight passengers, respectively. The entire flight is professionally narrated (pre-recorded, pilot supplemented) via individual one-way headsets.  Experience 60-70 minutes of flight time; optional shuttle transport is approximately 15 minutes each way for your Denali flight.

You’ll See: braided rivers, wildly colorful ridgelines, and velvety tundra-covered valleys as you climb towards pristine snow-covered peaks and tumbling icefalls en route to the Mountain. As you near Denali, you will thread between snowy alpine peaks, such as Mount Mather, Silverthrone and Mount Huntington. You’ll be flying at an optimal altitude that will give you the best perspective of the sheer size of the mountains of the Denali Massif.

Then, you’re off toward the Alaska Range! You’ll first fly over the stunning Susitna Valley, where you’ll keep your eyes peeled for moose, bears, and other giants.

Once you get over the range, your pilot will show you some of the most impressive lookout points while providing interesting stories, historical accounts, and personal anecdotes before heading close to the Denali summit. As it’s not always possible to see Denali (the mountain) from land, this is something really special!

You’ll then see the Tokositna Glacier Valley and the various notorious peaks close by. Before landing, you’ll get to see The Great Gorge, which ranks as the world’s deepest! By any view it’s impressive, but from way up high in the sky, it looks unreal!

This one is just a bit longer than our previous tour, clocking in at around 1.5 to 2 hours long. There are many similarities to our first tour, but as you read on will come to see their unique differences.

These briefings will let you know what to expect when you’re in the air. The guides are incredibly knowledgeable and are such a pleasure to chat with and ask any questions you may have. If you choose the glacier landing option, they’ll also provide you with glacier boots and other required gear.

The Talkeetna: Denali 75-Minute Flight Experience will show you not only Denali, but Little Switzerland, Kahiltna Glacier, and much more! If you want to see the Alaskan wilderness in a short amount of time, this is an excellent way to do so.

Once you arrive on site of your tour’s office, you’ll check in at their cute office while enjoying either a coffee, tea, or hot chocolate by their crackling fireplace. Here, they’ll turn on a short flight video that will offer insight into how your flight will go and answer most questions.

Then, the guide/pilot will give you a safety briefing and tell you about the weather conditions for that day. Follow your pilot out to the deck, where you’ll be assigned a window seat and test your mics. Take off toward the towering Alaska Range, first flying over the deep Susitna Valley.

This valley is home to many big wildlife, like moose and bears. The pilots love sharing their own personal anecdotes of the critters they’ve seen in this area and are great at spotting them for all to see.

You’ll fly within just 6 miles of the Denali summit – a towering, ominous experience! Head up to the Tokisitna Glacier before you turn to the 44-mile-long Kahiltna. This is the longest in the national park and one of the longest in the world. You may even get to see some mountain climbers up there!

You’ll then head east by Mount Huntington and see the south face of enormous Denali. If you choose, at this time you’ll also land on a glacier within the national park. The one you land on depends on the weather and the pilot’s discretion.

5. Grand Denali Flight Tour with Optional Glacier Landing From Talkeetna

We couldn’t leave off the Talkeetna: Grand Denali Flight Tour with Optional Glacier Landing !

Your first sight will be the Susitna Valley, where your pilot will help you spot some moose and/or bears! It’s not guaranteed, but there is a very high chance that you’ll see one or the other.

Then, head to the Alaska Range and onto the Tokisitna Glacier and Kahiltna Glacier, which is the longest in the park. Your guide will then take you behind Mount Hunter and Mount Foraker.

Check out the popular “hard mountain” called ‘Moose’s Tooth’. One of the most iconic formations in all of North America, it stands over 10,000 feet tall just by the Ruth Gorge entrance.

Next, enjoy the “open air” environment of the Don Sheldon amphitheater which is often considered to be one of the unofficial wonders of the world! This tour also includes an optional glacier landing to make it more “real” and offer amazing photo ops!

Denali National Park Tour Guide

Getting there –.

There are 3 major methods of transportation to Denali National Park : car, train, or bus. There are no local airports, but Fairbanks is 120 miles a way and Anchorage is 240 miles.

You could fly to one of them and then rent a car, or take the train or bus to get to Denali. However, you’re likely going to be staying in Healy, which is just about 15 to 20 minutes away from Denali.

We recommend the train, just because it’s so cozy, smooth, and comfortable. Plus, it’s a great way to see Alaska from large windows!

Getting Around –

Getting around Denali Park is surprisingly easy, considering the varying and sometimes extreme terrain. However, there are very well-paved paths throughout a large portion of the park and during the summertime, private vehicles can drive through the first 15 miles of the road out to Savage River. This is a great way to potentially see wild animals hanging around in their natural habitats, along with the obvious natural beauty that the park has to offer.

Aside from private vehicles, there’s also the option of taking the affordable transit buses that stop intermittently to view wildlife, for rests, and more. Alternatively, you have free buses and narrated tour buses.

In order to get past the first 15 miles, you’ll have to be on a bus, bike, or on foot. Biking is a lot of fun in the summertime, with soft, paved hills. Walking is nice too, but can genuinely get tiresome after the first few miles.

Where to Stay –

Despite being pretty remote, there are quite a few lodging options if you’re going to be exploring Denali Park. You can find something to fit just about any budget, from hostel cabins and more affordable roadhouses to luxury hotels on the side of the mountains.

If you’re going with a significant other, the Denali Crow’s Nest Cabins are romantic, luxurious, and have fantastic views. If you have your RV with you, the Denali Rainbow Village RV Park & Motel is the way to go. If you’re going with the entire family, check out the Healy Heights Family Cabins. They’re family-friendly and have a lot of extra space and beds.

Restaurants and Eating Out –

We said it before, and we’ll say it again: Denali has some incredible food. Let’s take a look at some of the best-rated restaurants that we also approve of!

229 Parks Restaurant and Tavern – Located inside a charming little log cabin on the side of the road, it shows off a wide array of different Alaskan cuisines, from rich seafood to seasonal produce. It may not look like a big deal from the outside, but it is high in demand so make sure to book ahead.

Rose’s Café – Made to refuel during long trips, it’s family-owned and operated and is perfect for starting your day off early. They’re always ready to serve you delicious coffee, soup, eggs benedict, and more at the crack of dawn with a smile on their faces!

Moose-AKA’s – This restaurant manages to transport you to Europe, with Serbian/Eastern European influences! Fried crepes and schnitzel are a couple of the most popular dishes here, but you’re sure to try something you’ve never had before.

The Black Bear – Featured on Food Network as the “Best Coffee House in Alaska”, it’s been going strong for over 2 decades now. Always busy in the mornings, it’s known for its avocado toast, freshly-baked pastries, and rich coffee.

Nightlife and Entertainment –

Denali and the surrounding area isn’t going to be your typical city where you find clubs and bars everywhere. However, there are still some solid entertainment options available. You’ll find that the Denali Park Salmon Bake is the place to go for live music and dancing in the evening, and honestly it’s worth it!

Fannie Q’s Saloon offers more of that old-school saloon feel with a modern twist! Delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner is available and in the evening they always book talented live entertainment.

Karstens Public House is perfect if you’re a craft beer aficionado (or just enjoy a good brew). With 12 local brews on tap and fresh cocktails available, sip on something new while enjoying the view outside or chatting with the friendly locals.

For tourists, the Cabin Nite Dinner Theater is a must-see, with a top-notch musical revue about the gold rush era. Not only do they provide a show, but dinner as well. Oh, and they don’t skimp on the food! If you’re looking for a good time for the whole family, this is it.

Princess Cruises has a big influence in the area, and they have their own evening show called ‘The Music of Denali’. Each show lasts about an hour, and the dinner 2 hours. It’s a fun time and a great excuse to get dressed up.

Weather –

While Denali is undoubtedly beautiful no matter the time of year, we highly recommend going in the summer months. Summers can get to over 75 degrees Fahrenheit, but can be a bit chilly and overcast at times as well. However, during the colder months it’s outright frigid, icy, and snowy and can drop down to around -11 degrees!

Tips –

• You can’t travel the entire Denali Park road by private vehicle. However, there are times where the weather is really nice and they open up the first 30 miles!
• Expect any type of weather, at any time. This means we highly recommend packing a warm coat or jacket, warm gloves, head coverings, along with boots that will keep your feet dry. Even in the middle of summer, it can snow.
• Visit the sled dogs! Did you know that Denali is the only national park that has a team of working sled dogs? If you visit during the summer you can go and see their kennels! They’re so adorable and friendly, and it’s a can’t-miss.
• Plan for more than 1 day. Denali is just so massive and has so much to offer, you’re sure to want to go back and check out even more. Although you’ll undoubtedly see a lot through your ATV tours, you’ll likely want to go hiking or even take a bus deeper into the park.
