Hop aboard Haines-Skagway Fast Ferry, a transit service that traverses Lynn Canal’s Taiya Inlet, North America’s deepest and longest fjord. The passenger-only ferry runs between Haines and Skagway and showcases natural sights such as the Sawmill, Twin, and Long Falls waterfalls. Humpback whales, seals, and bald eagles are also visible seasonally. Trips last approximately 45 minutes, cutting the travel distance between the cities significantly as compared to driving distance. Naturalist guides are available on the journey to answer questions about the region’s natural history and wildlife, and complimentary beverages are available for passengers to enjoy. Visitors may bring bikes, kayaks, rafts, and pets aboard the ferry for an additional fee. Reservations are recommended to guarantee departure time and date availability. Private charters are also available for small groups and organizations with advance reservations.
