WHAT ABOUT THE MOSQUITOES?
Alaskan mosquitoes are the stuff of legends...at least that's what you've heard from others who have visited. While it's true that at certain times and places in the summer, the flying insects can test the patience of even the most trail-hardened veteran, many find that bugs are worse where they come from! If particularly sensitive and you find yourself in one of those areas of "concentration", here are a few tips that will make your visit more bearable.
1. Use an insect repellent with DEET and re-apply frequently. Though there are legions of natural and non-DEET repellents on the market, research in Alaska has shown that only DEET is truly effective, and lasts the longest.
2. Wear light-colored clothing.
3. Bring your own head-net or, if traveling with us on an Adventure itinerary, borrow one of ours.
