Chilkat Cruises

There are options for getting into Haines for example the community is connected via the Alaskan Highway, plane, the State Ferry system and private operaters such as Chilkat Cruises which I am able to comment on.

There are three gauranteed crossings a day between Skagway and Haines. It is approximately 35 minutes each way and the schedule is dependable and on time.

The trip is very scenic and beautiful. A more precise schedule should be consulted at their web site and additional crossing times can be determined from the company while in town.

This is a walk on service but a lot of bikers do carry on their bikes as well.

Mode: TO

Type: Ship/Boat

Bike Alaska

As per my Chilkat Cruises recommendation I thought I should also share this picture.

A lot of people living in the area for the summer use bikes to get around and you can bring your bike onto the walk on fast ferries so transportation by bike in Skagway and Haines is very cheap and efficient.
