Reservations

Regional Water Transport and Wilderness Access

Travelers must distinguish between the Alaska Marine Highway System (ferries), which require months of lead time for cabins or vehicle space, and Glacier Bay National Park, which uses a permit system for private vessels. Commercial day tours and backcountry permits for Admiralty Island bear viewing are separate bottlenecks. Always verify current schedules with the Alaska Department of Transportation and the National Park Service.
