Explore

A leisurely discovery of Alaska requires a combination of different means: internal flights, car or caravan rental, boat tours, scenic flights, hiking and more.

INTERNAL FLIGHTS

Flights within Alaska are operated by the state airline Alaska Air. Other smaller planes provide air taxi services all over the country.

CAR RENTAL

A budget car rental in Anchorage costs, during the high season – June to September – a minimum of 35 euros per day. You can get lower prices if you guarantee your booking well in advance and for longer rental periods. There are also agencies in Anchorage that rent used cars at cheaper prices.

Few of the towns in the Panhandle (as Southeast Alaska is also called) are large enough or have a road system to justify a rental car. The exception may apply to Juneau or Skagway if you wish to visit the surrounding areas and cross the border to the Canadian side. 

BOATS

Outside the villages, Southeast Alaska has almost no roads. The best way to explore it is to buy a pass from the Alaska Marine Highway System that connects the various villages by sea.  

OTHER

The boat trips to glaciers and to the sounds cost around 100 euros per person and panoramic flights range from 300 to 600 euros, depending on the area overflown and the combination with other activities.
