Excursion Overview

Experience Lynn Canal on your way from Skagway to Haines

Embark on a scenic 45-minute journey aboard the Haines-Skagway Fast Ferry, gliding through the stunning Taiya Inlet, part of Lynn Canal—North America's longest and deepest fjord. As you cruise through this pristine waterway, you'll be treated to spectacular views of towering cliffs, lush forests, and three major waterfalls: Long Falls, Twin Falls, and Sawmill Falls on your way from Skagway to Haines.

During your journey, keep your eyes peeled for wildlife, including humpback whales, bald eagles, and seals—all of which are frequently spotted from both the inner and outer decks of the ferry. Along the way, a knowledgeable Naturalist/Guide will provide fascinating commentary on the natural history, geology, and cultural significance of this incredible region, answering your questions and deepening your appreciation for the landscape.

This unforgettable ferry ride offers an opportunity to experience the rugged beauty of the Lynn Canal from the water—an experience that would take hours to explore by car, but only 45 minutes by boat. Once you arrive in Haines, you'll have time to wander through this charming town, just 15 minutes from the ferry terminal. Explore quaint local gift shops, cozy coffee houses, and historic museums to discover the heart of this picturesque Alaskan town.
