When to Go
The best time to explore Alaska from above is during the summer months, from May to September.

However, always be prepared for sudden weather changes, as Alaska’s climate can be unpredictable. For current weather updates, consult the National Weather Service and NOAA.
What to Wear
Dressing appropriately for your helicopter tour is essential. Layering is key—start with a moisture-wicking base, followed by insulating layers, and a waterproof outer layer. Sturdy, comfortable footwear is recommended, especially for landings on glaciers like the Knik Glacier. Don’t forget gloves and a hat to protect against the wind chill at higher altitudes.
