Experience Lynn Canal on your way from Haines to Skagway

Embark on a stunning 45-minute journey aboard the Haines-Skagway Fast Ferry, where you’ll cruise through the majestic Taiya Inlet of Lynn Canal—the longest and deepest fjord in North America. This breathtaking route offers unparalleled views of towering cliffs, lush forests, and sparkling waters, all while your knowledgeable Naturalist/Guide shares fascinating insights about the region's natural history, geology, and human influence on this unique landscape.

During your ride, keep an eye out for three impressive waterfalls—Long Falls, Twin Falls, and Sawmill Falls—which cascade down the rugged terrain, creating an awe-inspiring sight from the ferry's inner and outer decks. Depending on the season and time of day, you may also catch glimpses of local wildlife, including humpback whales, bald eagles, and seals, as they thrive in the pristine waters of the inlet.

The ferry travels a picturesque stretch of Lynn Canal, connecting the charming Alaskan towns of Haines and Skagway, both rich in history and natural beauty. With multiple departures throughout the day and accessible docks in both towns, this safe and reliable service makes it easy for you to explore the best of these two quaint, fun-filled destinations separated by 350 miles of road.
