The Best Time for Juneau Glacier Tours

Timing is key when it comes to Alaskan glacier tours. While the glaciers are stunning year-round, summer offers the best chance to experience them in full splendor. The weather is milder, the skies are clearer, and the glaciers are more accessible for tours.

During the summer months, Juneau experiences longer daylight hours, allowing you to enjoy the scenery well into the evening. This is especially important for Juneau Flightseeing, where the soft glow of sunset against the glaciers creates a spectacular scene. The best time for a glacier tour is during summer when the days are long and the views are unbeatable.

Here’s why summer is the best time to visit:

  • Summer months for clearer skies
  • Longer daylight hours
  • Accessible tours

If you want to experience the glaciers at their most vibrant and active, visiting during the summer months ensures that you make the most of your time in Alaska’s stunning wilderness.
