8. Look For The Northern Lights In Fairbanks

As previously reported, The well-known Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, is an amazing natural light show close to the Arctic Circle. If you are visiting Alaska from August into May, the lights are the most visible. They become even more intense between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. While experts note that they are unpredictable, Fairbanks witnesses approximately 200 light shows annually. Book a tour with a professional northern lights hunting group.  

 

9. Go Whale-Watching

If you visit in the summer, you have a chance to see a number of different whale species migrating to Alaska’s coastal waters to feed. More specifically, the gray whales return in the middle of April, the orcas come back in May, followed by humpback whales in June. From April to September, you can sign on for a whale watching tour in Juneau and Seward. They all reportedly include professional narration and several of the longer excursions also include meals and even drinks.
