Southeast Alaska is what dreams are made of – calving glaciers, majestic scenery, wildlife, boardwalk villages, and friendly people. The larger communities of Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Juneau, Haines, Skagway, Sitka, and Craig all have fuel and provisions in addition to unique tourist opportunities. The smaller communities of Meyers Chuck, Thorne Bay, Tenakee Springs, Hoonah, Elfin Cove, and Pelican provide a look into the Alaskan can-do spirit. Bear viewing opportunities abound. Boaters can cruise to the face of several glaciers. Glacier Bay National Park is a bucket-list destination for boaters with scenic remote anchorages, wildlife, and glaciers. Cannery ruins and evidence of Gold Rush days can be seen and experienced in Douglas, Juneau, and Skagway. For updates regarding marinas and the sites of Southeast Alaska, check the table below.
