What to Wear
Dressing appropriately for your helicopter tour is essential. Layers are key in Alaska’s variable climate. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, followed by insulating layers like fleece or down. A waterproof and windproof outer layer is crucial, especially when exploring glacier areas. Sturdy, waterproof boots are recommended for any landings. Don’t forget sunglasses and sunscreen, as the sun’s reflection off the ice can be intense.
