subject: When You Should Take Touring Holidays In Alaska [print this page] Anyone who is planning on taking touring holidays in Alaska should really consider exactly when they are going to go. There is no doubt that travelling during certain months will be a lot better than others, and so you need to think closely about this before you book up your trip.
June to August may well be the most exciting time of year, as during this time the sun shines almost all of the time. June 21 is the longest day where the sun shines for 21 hours and even throughout the rest of the summer you can expect some very long daylight hours. Due to the long days, you can certainly get a lot done and see everything you want to see during this time of year.
However, the summer months certainly do have their drawbacks, particularly in the fact that this will be the busiest time of year, and therefore the most crowded and expensive. During this time the tourist industry has to make all of its money, and as such prices are raised significantly.
May and September are still very good months to travel as well, however. May is when the earliest tourists will start flying in and going on their cruises and tours, and September is when everything begins to settle down a little bit. May is slightly warmer, but it really does depend on where you travel. However, you will be able to get less crowds and everything won't be quite as expensive.
In general it is probably best to avoid the months of October, November, and April, as during these times of year it can become very wet and therefore the activities that you can engage in will be very much limited.
During the winter time from December to March you can take advantage of a number of snow and ice-based activities, and as such if this is your preference then this is an excellent time of year to travel. Such things as ice carving, skiing, and snow mobile racing are all very popular during these months.
