When to Go
Alaska’s weather is as varied as its landscapes. The best time for helicopter tours is from late spring to early fall, when conditions are most favorable. However, each season offers a unique perspective: spring brings blooming wildflowers, summer offers long daylight hours, and fall showcases vibrant foliage. For current weather conditions and forecasts, consult Weather.gov to plan your visit effectively.
What to Wear
Proper attire is essential for comfort and safety during your helicopter tour. We recommend dressing in layers to adapt to changing temperatures. A waterproof outer layer is crucial due to potential rain or snow. Sturdy, closed-toe shoes are necessary for walking on glaciers or uneven terrain.

Photography Tips
