Best Time to Visit Alaska

The first question you should ask yourself is “what are you most hoping to see, or experience?”

Are whales on your radar? Visit Southeast or Southcentral Alaska from mid-May through late-August.

Does your list include Northern Lights? Check out Talkneetna, or Fairbanks from mid-September through mid-April (peak months are February and March).

Is salmon fishing on your bucket list? Hit up Southcentral or Southeast mid-June through mid-September.
