The Best Time to Visit Alaska, According to Travel Experts

news

Anyone who’s ever visited Alaska knows just how hard it can be to sum up the state’s staggering natural beauty in anything less than 1,000 words. From glacial lagoons to some of the most remote National Parks to fantastic cruise options, it’s an unparalleled destination that tops many travelers’ bucket lists for a reason. With so many options and experiences, it’s rare for any two visits to have similar itineraries. But this begs the question: What actually is the best time to visit Alaska?

According to some travel experts, the answer largely comes down to what you’re hoping to experience. For many first-time visitors, Jolie Shea, a naturalist with Maple Leaf Adventures, says it can be especially helpful to plan a trip in the warmer months from mid-May to mid-September for the best all-around experience. “This period offers warm weather, extended daylight, and peak wildlife activity,” she says. “July is ideal for long, sunny days—perfect for exploring Alaska’s vast wilderness, with almost 24 hours of daylight. It’s also prime time for witnessing salmon runs, attracting grizzlies, black bears, and orcas, all focused on the feast.”
