Hi there!
Is May too early for a cruise to Glacier Bay National Park?!
In short, NO!
Not necessarily anyway!
I went to Glacier Bay National Park in May and below is what is was like for me!
Well, this is just 2 days in Glacier Bay out of 31 days in May. 😆
But those 2 days in Glacier Bay National Park in May were both sunny!
I asked a Glacier Bay National Park ranger, and she indicated that May in Glacier Bay tends to be one of the months that is more dry and sees more sun.
So, it seems like May can be one of the best months to go to Glacier Bay National Park for good weather!
That said, anything goes in Alaska!
And that includes Glacier Bay National Park in May!
As “they” say, weather can change quickly in Alaska!

I went to Glacier Bay National Park in May, and I had a perfect time sailing through Glacier Bay and seeing the Margerie Glacier, the Lamplugh Glacier, the Johhs Hopkins Inlet, and Mount Cooper!
