Why take this tour?

Take a thrilling and inspiring flight around the highest point in North America. Soar amongst the jagged peaks of the Alaska Range on a stunning 200-mile flight through Denali National Park to get within 1/2 mile of Denali. Weather permitting, this flight will circle Denali to see every spectacular corner of this majestic mountain. From takeoff to landing, the breathtaking views will have you on the edge of your seat.

The 60-70 minute flight departs from our private airstrip on the eastern edge of Denali National Park, and you’ll enjoy the comfort and views from your window seat on our twin-engine plane. 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. Highly experienced pilots will use their skills and knowledge to guide you to the best views in Denali.

Frequently asked questions

Will it be cold in the airplane?

The airplane has a heater and at our normal altitudes, the air is only slightly cooler than on the ground, yet if you tend to get cold, it's a good idea to bring a sweatshirt or light jacket.

What to bring on the flight tour?

We recommend: A sweatshirt or light jacket Sunglasses (or prescription eye-wear) A well-charged camera Bottled water, if desired Due to limited space bags can be stored with our team you fly

What about bad weather?

If the weather conditions are such that we cannot provide an enjoyable tour, we will work with your schedule to select an alternate day or flight time.

Will we see wildlife from the air?

Unfortunately, we can't guarantee a spotting. Moose, caribou, Dall sheep, and bears are all possible to see from the plane but each trip is different. Much of it depends on how good you are at spotting animals from above.

Can the pilot accept gratuities?

Yes. While not expected, it's certainly appreciated

Is there a weight limit for passengers?

We don't have a specific weight limit; we operate based upon the overall weight of the aircraft. Before you fly, we will ask for your current weight. Please answer honestly as our team must do the correct calculations to ensure the flight is safe. We promise that our team will protect your information. If you don't feel comfortable at any time, pull us aside and we'll ensure your privacy.

How high will we get?

We have the ability to climb to 12,000 feet or more, but depending on weather conditions, most flights are conducted from 3,000-8,000 feet above sea level, which is generally about 1,000-5,000 feet above the ground. This is to maximize the views of the scenery near us and avoid the need for supplemental oxygen or a pressurized aircraft cabin.

I have breathing trouble or am on supplemental oxygen. Can I still go?

At this time, the FAA only allows the use of 21 different Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC). If you have one of these devices, you are welcome to use them onboard as long as you have a note from your physician stating it is medically necessary. If you are unsure if your device is approved or have a special circumstance and/or question about your situation, please reach out to us because we may have additional options.
