Denali Glacier Landing
This private full-day tour begins in Anchorage and travels north to the quirky town of Talkeetna, gateway to Denali National Park. On the flight portion of the day is not private. You will take to the skies and get a birds-eye view of landscapes around Denali National Park and Denali (formerly Mt. McKinley). This 90-minute flightseeing tour with glacier landing gives everyone a window seat to experience the sweeping views. We will spend approximately 15-20 minutes on the glacier landing and the rest of the tour time is flightseeing. An Alaska bush-plane pilot will tell you about the area as you soar through the Alaska Range. Follow the river systems of Talkeetna across the Susitna Valley into an incredible landscape of icefalls, glaciers, blue meltwater pools and snowy peaks, above the Don Sheldon amphitheater and through the Great Gorge of the Ruth Glacier. Conditions permitting, your pilot will land you atop a glacier for a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity! Additionally, guests will have time to enjoy Main Street and downtown as well as a delicious lunch (provided) at a local eatery as well as complimentary snacks and water are available throughout the tour. Conclude the day tour with transportation from Talkeetna back to your Anchorage hotel, arriving between 5:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
We do not recommend backpacks/purses on the airplane, as space is limited. We are happy to hold them until you return from your tour. Binoculars can be used on the glacier landings, but are not recommended during the flight.

Salmon Berry Travel & Tours recommends travel insurance provided by TravelSafe Insurance. Our recommendation is based on positive guest feedback. In particular, the experience of one Salmon Berry guest is instructive:
- Our guest had booked the vacation of a lifetime and the ultimate Alaska package. She had to cancel the trip a week before it began due to unfortunate circumstances.
- She later told us that within ten minutes of phone time her claim was processed in full. She was very pleased with TravelSafe Insurance’s immediate and empathetic response. Getting a refund for her trip was the last thing she wanted to think about, and TravelSafe Insurance took care of her needs and concerns immediately.
