The best time to go to Unalaska is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its mildest and the daylight hours are longest.
This period offers the most comfortable conditions for exploring the island. Temperatures typically range from 10°C to 15°C, and while rain is always a possibility in Unalaska, these months generally see less fog and wind compared to other times of the year. The extended daylight means more time for outdoor activities and sightseeing.
For those interested in wildlife viewing, particularly birdwatching, this is an excellent time. Many species of migratory birds, including puffins and eagles, are present and actively nesting. It's also a good time for fishing, with salmon runs typically starting in late June.
Travellers looking for a more rugged and solitary experience might consider the shoulder seasons of May or September. While the weather can be more unpredictable, these months often have fewer visitors, and the landscape can be stunning with late spring blooms or early autumn colours.
