When to Go
The best time to embark on a helicopter tour in Juneau is between May and September. During these months, the weather is generally more predictable, with longer daylight hours allowing for extended exploration. However, it’s essential to monitor local weather conditions through weather.gov for any changes that might affect flight schedules. Winter tours are also available, offering a different perspective with snow-covered landscapes.
What to Wear
Alaska’s weather can be unpredictable, so dressing in layers is crucial. We recommend wearing a moisture-wicking base layer, an insulating middle layer, and a waterproof outer layer. Sturdy footwear is essential, especially if your tour includes glacier landings. Don’t forget gloves, a hat, and sunglasses to protect against the sun’s glare off the ice.
