When to Go
Alaska’s weather can be unpredictable, so timing your visit is crucial. The best time for an Alaska cruise and helicopter tour is between May and September, when daylight hours are long, and temperatures are milder. During this period, you can experience the breathtaking beauty of Alaska’s glaciers, wildlife, and landscapes. Always check the NOAA weather forecasts before your trip to ensure optimal conditions.
What to Wear
Dressing appropriately is essential for comfort and safety. Layered clothing is recommended to accommodate changing temperatures. A moisture-wicking base layer, insulating mid-layer, and waterproof outer layer will keep you warm and dry. Sturdy, waterproof boots are a must for glacier landings. Don’t forget gloves, a hat, and sunglasses to protect against the sun’s glare on the ice.

Photography Tips
Capturing Alaska’s stunning beauty requires some preparation. Bring a camera with a wide-angle lens to capture expansive landscapes.
