fletcher57 Posted January 7, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hi, Funny thing. When I asked when to book a cruise to Alaska to best avoid the black flies, nobody mentioned the mosquitos which can be pretty bothersome I understand. Sooooo, when is the best time to book a cruise to avoid black flies and mosquitos? Thanks. Joyce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbmom87 Posted January 8, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Honestly, I have been reading these boards for three years, and haven't really read about black flies being an issue. Perhaps with certain excursions? As far as mosquitos, all the warnings about mosquitos seem to be for Wonder Lake in Denali. Posters say that the mosquitos leave sometime in August. We went mid-June, with a cruise first followed by 9 days on land. We had no problems with black flies and the only mosquitos we saw were at Wonder Lake in Denali.

mr green Posted January 8, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I have never seen any, in May or September, but, like fairies, this does not mean that they don't exist.:) john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
