When to Go
The best time for a glacier landing tour in Alaska is from late May to early September.

However, Alaska’s weather can be unpredictable; we monitor conditions closely via weather.gov to ensure the optimal experience for our guests.
What to Wear
Alaska’s glacier environments can be cold and windy, even in summer. Dress in layers to adjust to changing temperatures, and wear waterproof clothing to stay dry. Sturdy, insulated boots are essential for walking on ice. Don’t forget sunglasses and sunscreen, as the sun’s reflection off the ice can be intense.

Popular options include the Knik Glacier Helicopter Tour and the Talkeetna Mountains. Each route offers stunning views of Alaska’s vast wilderness, providing a unique perspective on its majestic glaciers.
Photography Tips
Capturing the beauty of Alaska’s glaciers requires some preparation. Use a camera with a wide-angle lens to encompass the vast landscapes. A polarizing filter can help reduce glare from the ice.
