In addition to being the capital of Alaska, Juneau is land-locked. Even though there are no road connections to major highway systems, traveling in and out of Juneau is easy via scheduled air service and the Alaska Marine Highway System.


The Alaska Marine Highway ferry system offers auto and passenger connections to Juneau. From the north, board the ferry in Skagway or Haines. From the south, board the ferry from Bellingham or Prince Rupert. Ferry service is available all year, but during the summer, the frequency of service increases. Advance reservations are highly recommended. Call toll free in the US and Canada at 800-642-0066. It is encouraged for travelers to use the on-line reservation system for the marine highway. www.Alaska.gov/ferry provides several options for getting to Juneau and getting around upon arrival.


Juneau is accessible by a two-hour flight from Seattle or ninety-minute flight from Anchorage on Alaska Airlines. During the summer months, air service increases to over 15 flights per day from Alaska Airlines' gateway cities. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 1-800-426-0333 in the USA and Canada or online at www.AlaskaAir.com.


No matter where you're coming from, get started planning and making your reservations now! There are days when Juneau hosts between 10,000 and 20,000 visitors. Even with all these people coming to see our beautiful city, there's plenty of pristine wilderness for everyone to enjoy. Alaskan Marine Adventures really are for everyone!

 

Getting to Juneau is part of the adventure!
