Alaska

Language

  • Alaska has some 20 distinct languages, most within two main language groups. The two groupings include Inuit-Unangan (a.k.a. Eskimo-Aleut) and Na-Dene (a.k.a. Athabasan-Eyak-Tlingit). English is widely spoken.

Time Zone

  • Alaska follows Alaska Standard Time (AST), one hour behind Pacific Time. Note that Alaska also observes daylight saving time, so clocks are set forward an hour from March to November.

Electricity

  • Alaska uses the standard U.S. plug types, Type A and Type B, with a voltage of 120V and a frequency of 60Hz. International travelers should bring an adapter if their devices use a different plug type.

Climate

  • Alaska’s climate varies significantly depending on the region. The coastal areas have a maritime climate with milder, wetter conditions, while inland areas like Fairbanks have a continental climate with cold winters and mild summers. Prepare for unpredictable weather by dressing in layers, especially if you plan to explore multiple regions.

Health

  • While Alaska has a good healthcare system, medical facilities can be remote, especially outside major cities. It's recommended to have travel health insurance that covers emergency evacuations, as these can be costly in remote areas. https://www.travelexinsurance.com/homepage?location=44-0110&go=bp

Tips

  • Tipping in Alaska is appreciated, especially in the tourism and service industries, where workers rely on tips as a significant part of their income. A standard tip is around 15-20% for restaurant service, guides, and other hospitality staff if the service is exceptional.

Currency

  • The U.S. Dollar (USD) is the official currency in Alaska. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, but cash may be useful in more remote areas where card facilities might not be available.

Wildlife Safety

  • Alaska is home to diverse wildlife, including bears, moose, and wolves. Always follow posted safety guidelines when in wildlife areas. If you’re hiking or camping, keep food securely stored to avoid attracting animals, carry bear spray in areas with bear activity, and make noise on trails to alert wildlife of your presence.

Packing Essentials

  • Pack for variable weather, even in summer, as temperatures can drop suddenly, especially at higher elevations. Essential items include waterproof gear, layers, sturdy boots, sunscreen, insect repellent, and binoculars for wildlife watching.

Northern Lights Viewing

  • The best time to see the Northern Lights in Alaska is from late August through April, with peak viewing during winter. Fairbanks is a popular spot for aurora viewing, but clear skies and dark conditions are essential, so check weather forecasts for optimal visibility.

Cultural Etiquette

  • Respect indigenous communities by asking permission before photographing people or sacred sites. Learn about local customs and traditions to deepen your understanding and show respect for Alaska’s native cultures.

Daylight Hours

  • In summer, areas like Anchorage can have up to 19 hours of daylight, while Barrow (Utqiaġvik) experiences 24-hour daylight for a period. In winter, daylight is limited, so be prepared for short days and plan activities accordingly.

Northern Lights

How will the weather to view the Northern Lights be monitored?

Follow this link to monitor weather: https://www.greatlandadventures.com/tours/?activity=&duration=&season=Winter

When can I view the Northern Lights?

The Northern Lights most commonly appear between 17:00 and 02:00. They don’t usually exhibit for long – they may only show for a few minutes, then glide away before returning.

How often do the Northern Lights appear?

Every night is different and a lot depends on cloud cover alongside other factors.

How do I photograph the Northern Lights?

There are a few basic principles to consider when it comes to capturing the Northern Lights, from having the right equipment to making sure your camera is steady enough to capture the magical light show above.

How are the Northern Lights created?

The light show we see from the ground is caused by electrically charged particles from space entering the Earth’s upper atmosphere at a very high speed.

Does moonlight affect the Northern Lights visibility?

If you want to see how a full display develops, it’s best to go around the time of the new moon.

What should I wear when viewing the Northern Lights?

Dress warmly, as temperatures can drop significantly at night. Wear layered clothing, a thermal base layer, insulated outerwear, gloves, hats, and waterproof boots. Standing outside for extended periods can get chilly, so staying warm is essential.

Alaska

What kind of clothing should I pack for Alaska?

Alaska’s weather can be unpredictable, so pack layers. Even in summer, temperatures can vary widely. Include a waterproof jacket, warm clothing, and sturdy hiking boots. In winter, bring insulated gear, gloves, hats, and thermal layers to stay warm in the cold temperatures.

What should I know about traveling to remote areas in Alaska?

If you’re planning to travel to remote locations, prepare thoroughly. Many areas lack cell service, so consider renting a satellite phone. Ensure you have proper gear, and be aware of wildlife safety. Travel by bush plane is common in remote areas, as road access can be limited.

How can I stay safe in bear country?

If you’re hiking or camping in bear country, bring bear spray, make noise to avoid surprising bears, and keep a safe distance if you encounter one. Store food securely, away from campsites, and never leave trash behind. Some areas provide bear-proof containers for food storage.

Do I need a passport to travel to Alaska?

No, if you’re a U.S. citizen traveling from another U.S. state, a passport is not required. However, if you plan to take an Alaskan cruise that stops in Canada, you’ll need a passport. Non-U.S. citizens should check entry requirements in advance. https://apply.joinsherpa.com/travel-restrictions

What kinds of food should I try in Alaska?

Alaskan cuisine features local seafood like salmon, halibut, and king crab. Try reindeer sausage, wild berries, and locally foraged mushrooms. Indigenous-inspired dishes highlight traditional ingredients like smoked fish, seal oil, and herring eggs. Local food tours can introduce you to these unique flavors.

What wildlife can I expect to see in Alaska?

Alaska is home to diverse wildlife, including bears, moose, caribou, bald eagles, and marine animals like whales, sea otters, and seals. For the best chances of seeing wildlife, visit national parks and consider guided wildlife viewing tours, which provide safe, respectful ways to observe animals in their natural habitats.

What should I know about Alaska's national parks?

Alaska’s national parks are vast and often remote, with fewer facilities than parks in the lower 48 states. Denali, Kenai Fjords, and Glacier Bay are among the most popular. Plan ahead for transportation, as some parks are only accessible by plane or boat, and prepare for rugged conditions and wildlife safety.

Our Happy Clients

All the details were taken care of. Our tour guide was personable, knows the history and all of the interesting facts, entertaining, and gracious. This is our first tour with Evolution35, but it won’t be our last. We are already planning our next trip to Italy with them.

- Stefan and Molly

Our Happy Clients

I was very pleased with the service that I received from evolution35 travel company. Our 9 day trip to Cancún was wonderful time in this beautiful country. The resorts that evolution35 chose for our stay were all wonderful! Evolution35 people was in constant communication with us via email and WhatsApp asking how the trip was going and if we had any concerns or requests and when I did have a request they responded immediately and took care of it. Everything including tours and transportation were taken care of for us so it was very relaxing knowing we did not have to think about anything except when and where we were going next. Evolution35 also worked hard to ensure that we have a wonderful time during our stay in Cancun an that we return home safe. We are planing a trip to Costa Rica with Evolution35 in October.

Our Happy Clients

The Paris 99 trip was great. We enjoyed the driving tour of Paris, although we did fall asleep a few times as we were tired from the overnight flight from SLC. Our guide, Pedro, provided excellent information on the history of Paris and the sites we saw. The tour of Versailles was excellent, but we do wish we could have spent a little more time there. The Eifel Tower was amazing but felt a little rushed. The dinner on the Seine was excellent. Thank you for a great trip.

- Richard Leake

Our Happy Clients

Our Happy Clients

We did the Costa Rica trip and it was incredible. Zipline, rainforest, boat rides, catamaran. It
was soooo much trip for the money. Loved the hotel Tabacón with the hot springs and the
Westin was also 5 star! You go from the Carribean side to the Pacific. It's the trip of a
lifetime. Well done evolution35

- Jason Shamy

Our Happy Clients

star hotel, transportation, meals, and excursions. I did not have to do anything. Everything
was planned ahead for me under one affordable price. We had a blast and are looking
forward to booking again with evolution35! Evolution35 is the way to vacation!!!!!!

- ANALIS CARATTINI-RUIZ

Our Happy Clients

Fantastic trip to Paris with Evolution 35. Between booking our trip and the time we left, we had lots of questions and they were always so quick to respond to our emails. It was so wonderful that they took care of many details of our trip for us, especially the first couple of days as we were getting oriented in a foreign place! Our tour guide was hilarious and knowledgeable. He helped us stay safe and have a lot of fun too! A great experience for us!

Our Happy Clients

Contacté con esta empresa gracias a una amiga. La relación calidad/precio me ha parecido
excelente. La atención durante la contratación del viaje fue muy buena y rápida.
Solucionaron todas nuestras dudas, que eran muchas, con paciencia y acierto. La propuesta
que finalmente contratamos ha sido ideal para una primera vez en Hawaii, nos ha permitido
vivir la tranquilidad de la isla y hacer rutas por los parques naturales. En la llegada a Maui no
reubicaron a un apartahotel mejor en una zona diferente a la inicial que resultó ser un gran
acierto, dado que íbamos en familia, y facilitó nuestra estancia. Si podemos volver en el
futuro para conocer las otras islas, seguro que repetimos con ellos. ¡Gracias!
