Excursion Overview

Spend your day in Talkeetna with a 90-minute Denali flight tour with glacier landing!

Enjoy a beautiful scenic drive from Anchorage to the town of Talkeetna, including full narration from a knowledgeable local guide. Sit back and relax with amazing alpine views as you prepare for the adventures to come.

In Talkeetna, your party will have the opportunity to explore downtown and check out the quaint shops on Main Street.

Guests need to adequately prepare for being outside, potentially in the rain. Please bring the following: closed-toe shoes (hiking shoes recommended), a fleece, a rain jacket & rain pants, and optionally we would suggest light gloves and a hat.

In addition to warm, weatherproof clothes, we would highly suggest bringing your sunglasses (the sun is very bright up on the glacier). Guests will also want to bring their cameras with sufficient equipment to take lots of photos! Binoculars are not recommended during the flight, but you may use them on the glacier landing.

Probably, at least at some points during the tour. The weather in Alaska can be unpredictable, and it is always at least 15-20 degrees colder on the glacier than on dry land. Please plan accordingly with multiple layers.

You're welcome to bring a bag with you. Space on the aircraft is limited, so the operator may need to hold your bag for you during the flightseeing portion.
