Flightseeing Tour Options & Information
We invite you to join us on a spectacular flightseeing tour of majestic Denali, "The Great One", and the Alaska Range. Your tour begins when you check into our office at the Talkeetna airport. Our friendly staff will help prepare you for your flight and introduce you to your pilot who will escort you to the aircraft, provide a safety briefing, and get you settled. Every guest gets a window seat which provides excellent views and plenty of opportunities for photos and video taping. You will also be provided with an intercom headset so you can enjoy both music and pilot narration as you soar over the rugged peaks of the Alaska Range.
Learn the history and geology of the area while you take in a bird's eye view of this beautiful wilderness. Make certain to bring lots of film, your sunglasses and a light jacket.
For guests with special needs please contact us directly before arrival so we can prepare for you and make your trip as pleasant as possible.
