September is when you could reasonably expect some good viewing. The best time is winter, October through March. You need to have darkness to see the lights and until September the sun will stay make it light till about 10 p.m. or so.

If your main interest is the Northern Lights, then plan later in the year. Chena Hot Springs Resort outside of Fairbanks is a good place, also some remote lodges stay open year round. You want to be out of the city lights to get the best views.

If you really want help let me know.

Alaska is otherwise called as Pleasant island,and it is the largest island in Isy Straits.This grouping of relatively small islands is unique in that the three largest islands are very different in topography, use and character. Pleasant Island is fairly flat and has a mixture of old-growth forest and muskeg. The island has a couple of small lakes that can be hiked to from the shoreline. The island has many beaches friendly to small boats or kayaks and several areas that are used for camping. Pleasant Island is located just a couple of miles from Gustavus, Alaska, and Glacier Bay National Park. Many people kayaking to and from the park stop at Pleasant Island for lunch or a campover
