When to Go
The best time to explore Alaska by helicopter is from late May to early September. During these months, the weather is more favorable, offering clear skies and extended daylight hours. However, Alaska’s weather can be unpredictable, so always check the National Weather Service for the latest updates before your trip. If you plan to explore glaciers or alpine regions, note that conditions can change rapidly, and it’s essential to be prepared for sudden weather shifts.
What to Wear
Alaska’s climate can be quite variable, so dressing in layers is crucial. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add insulating layers, and finish with a waterproof and windproof outer layer. Sturdy, waterproof boots are recommended for glacier landings or hikes. Don’t forget gloves, a hat, and sunglasses to protect against the sun’s glare on the ice and snow.

Photography Tips
Capturing the splendor of Alaska from a helicopter requires some preparation. Use a camera with a fast shutter speed to take crisp images of moving landscapes. A polarizing filter can help reduce glare from the snow and water. If you’re using a smartphone, ensure it’s secured with a strap to prevent accidental drops. Always ask your pilot for the best viewing angles and opportunities for photos.
