When to Go
The best time for an Alaska helicopter tour largely depends on what you wish to see. Summer months, from June to August, offer long daylight hours and vibrant landscapes. Winter tours, from November to March, showcase the majestic snow-covered vistas and, occasionally, the Northern Lights. Regardless of the season, check the NOAA weather forecasts for the latest conditions.
What to Wear
Alaska’s weather can be unpredictable, so dressing in layers is crucial. Wear moisture-wicking base layers, insulated jackets, and waterproof outerwear to stay comfortable. Sturdy footwear, such as hiking boots, is recommended for glacier landings or exploring rugged terrains. Remember to pack gloves and a hat, especially during cooler months.

Photography Tips
Capturing Alaska’s beauty requires some planning. Use a camera with a wide-angle lens to encompass vast landscapes. Polarizing filters can enhance your images by reducing glare from snow and ice.
