Alaska's Marine Highway

Description

If you want to see Alaska, take the ferry! The only Byway of its kind, Alaska's Marine Highway lets you leave the driving to someone else as you travel along scenic coastal routes totaling over 8,000 miles. See whales, active volcanoes, glaciers, fjords, and sea lions from the deck! And the adventure doesn't end when the sun goes down. Just book your own cabin on the ferry, pitch a tent, or roll out a sleeping bag on the upper decks, lay back, and watch the dancing northern lights.

Directions:

Alaska's Marine Highway consists of over 8000 miles of coastal ocean routes connecting 31 port communities throughout Alaska. Two additional ports are located outside of Alaska - one in British Columbia and the other in the state of Washington. All the driving directions you need to know are how to get from a major transportation hub to one of the ports. First, check the Marine Highway schedule to plan a trip. Once your vehicle is loaded onto a Marine Highway ship, relax and enjoy the scenery. The Marine Highway system also allows walk-on travelers, bicycles and commercial vehicles. Upon arrival at a port, travelers can drive, ride, walk, jog, or bicycle off and explore the community or countryside. Many of the port communities also link to other Alaska Scenic Byways.
