A trip aboard the Snow Goose is not your average summer vacation. Due to the nature of our excursions, a number of uncertainties arise about life aboard the Goose in Alaska. What do the state rooms look like? How often do I get to kayak? Can I go back for seconds at dinner? Most of the questions have clear answers, but others remain a bit more fickle.
Although we can predict which months are the least wet and rainy, daily weather in Alaska is consistently erratic. April, May, and June have the lowest average rainfall, while the warmest months tend to be July and August. In September, when the Snow Goose makes her southbound trip to Washington, the rainfall average jumps to over 8 inches per month.
Not only is June one of the driest months, the long days surrounding solstice enrich the Alaskan experience. On the longest days of the year we receive over 18 hours of sunlight, giving us ample time for daily adventures.
Wildlife is another unpredictable aspect of each trip, and we consider the long days an 
opportunity for a flexible schedule. Downtime is essential for that moment when we spot humpback whales bubble-net feeding, or a family of brown bears ambling down the shoreline. Taking time to observe wildlife is one of the best parts of exploring Alaska aboard a small ship.
While it seems like June might be the ultimate time for a trip in southeast Alaska, the reality is that nearly anything can happen when it comes to the weather. Which is why we just layer up, get out in the elements, and simply enjoy life in the great outdoors.
