    This scenic 45-minute catamaran ride between Haines and Skagway offers a pleasant way to experience the Alaskan coastline. The two-deck ferry includes an outdoor viewing area plus complimentary coffee, tea, and water. Most crossings feature knowledgeable naturalists who point out geological features and help spot wildlife, adding real educational value to the journey. The staff generally receives praise for being friendly and efficient, and you can bring bikes and well-behaved dogs aboard, which travelers appreciate for exploring once they reach port. Flexibility is essential when booking. The ferry occasionally cancels trips, and notification can be inconsistent, which has left some passengers scrambling for alternatives. This is particularly important if you're on a cruise ship schedule with tight timelines. Multiple reviewers recommend arriving 15 minutes early since departures sometimes leave ahead of schedule. During summer months, several daily trips run between the towns, giving you options for planning your day trip.

    Easy ferry ride between Skagway and Haines. Naturalist narrated the 40 minute ride with interesting facts about the area, geology, and wildlife. We saw bald eagles, harbor seals, and a few waterfalls on the ride.
