Alaska

Spring brings pleasant weather, it's not that crowdy, and prices are still lower than in summer. The official season starts on May 15th, so expect some businesses closed before this date.

Spring

Summer is the nicest time to visit with warm weather, active wildlife, and all activities open. Summer is also the busiest with crowds peaking in July. August weather is not always predictable.

Summer

Fall is very short in Alaska, lasting just a few weeks. Beautiful fall foliage starts in late August and ends in mid-September. September 15th is also the official end of the travel season with most of the activities closing.

Fall

Winter brings festivals, snowmobiling, Northern Lights, dog sledding tours, snowshoeing, and unique gorgeous scenery in Alaska. But we do not offer winter plans just yet. Stay tuned.
