If you loved the TV show "Northern Exposure," you'll love the down-home feel of Haines. It's the kind of laid-back place you picture when you think about an Alaskan town. The first thing you'll notice when you arrive is how scenically beautiful Haines is.

Haines is blessed with surrounding natural areas and wildlife in what is known as the "Valley of the Eagles." The area is a magnet for bald eagles, drawn by the warm open water and abundant supply of salmon. More than 3,500 of the birds visit from October to February – during that time a dozen eagles may share a single tree limb.

There are three main ways to get to Haines, which makes Haines more accessible than most other southeast Alaskan communities of its size.

By car

Buy a Flight ticket to and from Haines

The third, and probably most popular, way to Haines is by boat. The primary mode of inter-Alaskan transportation is by the Alaska Marine Highway. The Lynn Canal route of the ferry system (Juneau -Haines-Skagway) receives a large amount of ferry traffic, especially in the summer. The Haines state ferry terminal at 2112 Lutak Road is about 4 miles north of town.

By cruise ship

Recently, Haines became a port-of-call to cruise ships, only about 20 calls per season, mainly from the Holland-America Line. The cruise ship docks at the Port Chilkoot Wharf, at the foot of Portage Street below Fort Seward. If you are on a cruise that visits Haines, you can rest assured that your ship will be the only ship in port and there won't be any large crowds to contend with in town.

Get Around

Haines is small enough that you can easily walk around the town in an hour or two.

During cruise ship dockings and there is a Shuttle Bus service that runs every 30 minutes. It starts at the Port Chilkoot Dock, and makes a loop to the Sheldon Museum, Visitor Center, Library, Dalton City, Eagle Foundation, Fort Seward Historic District, and then back to the Dock.

There are no taxis in Haines. Occasionally there is one when someone tries to start a taxi business, but they don't survive. You will need a car, a bike, a shuttle service, or make a friend quick.
